Ok so you are totally not going to believe me but I just finished reading a book!! Yay me!! Haha! It's called For Such A Time As This and it's written by Lisa Ryan. It was a great book about being a modern day Esther and was all about girl power. It explored the story of Esther and showed how we can use the kind of courage, inner beauty, favor, purity, obedience, authenticity, position, prayer, and hospitality that Esther used to achieve greatness not for ourselves but for our creator, Jesus Christ. I don't know what came over me but I really enjoyed reading this book. (in case you haven't been able to tell, I don't like to read) It's really funny though because Katie gave me this book at the beginning of last week to read while we were at the beach and I was thinking ok is she crazy?? She obviously doesn't know that I really don't like to read! Haha. But once I got into the book I couldn't stop. It really sparked another flame in my heart for God. So thanks sooooo much Katie!!!
