Friday! Friday! Friday! Who's excited with me?
Even though I work from home and I don't have a regular 9 to 5 job, I love Fridays because my family is all together. The boys come home from school on a Friday cloud high and my husband has no pressing business so we are all together.
I also love Fridays because of this blog post. The authors spend hours, weeks, months, and skill crafting a story that will touch you. So are you ready to see what's on this week's list? Here we go!!

Prayerful Wednesday - 10/7/15

It's Wednesday! Hopefully this week is blessing you. If not, how are you getting over the hump? I like to pray and listen to worship music. It revives me and redirects my focus to the One who can handle it all.

I have three worship videos for you. My prayer is that they brighten your day and fuel you towards Friday.

If you need prayer, please leave a comment and know that I am praying for you. Have a Blessed Week!

Review: Buckeye Dreams by Jennifer A. Davids

So this was my first time reading a Jennifer A. Davids' novel. Or should I say, first time reading three books. :)
This collection houses Yankee Heart, Wounded Heart, and Restored Heart.
So I'm going to share my review forYankee Heart.

Yankee Heart was a beautiful introduction to Ms. Davids' writing style. Her use of scripture had me highlighting them as well as the pearls of wisdom spoken from the characters relating to the Word.

Yankee Heart tells he tale ofKatherine Wallace, whohas decided to...

Review: The Bound Heart by Dawn Crandall

It's finally here, my review of Dawn Crandall's second book in The Everstone Chronicles series, The Bound Heart.

With this story, Ms. Crandall has cemented herself as the Queen of historical romance (imo). The Bound Heart was so phenomenal I don't even know where to begin for my review.
(Okay, deep breath.)

This book was so good, no one in my family could capture my attention. It was like they were talking through a fog. All I knew is I had to keep turning the page to find out what happens.

So s...

My heart has been knocked around my chest, dropped to the pit of my stomach, and warmed under the glow of a happy ending. Yep, I finished Catherine West's "Bridge of Faith."

Now I understand why I kept seeing this book over social media. It's because it's EXCELLENT.

So what do I have to say for this review that would interest you? Honestly, I don't know where to begin. I hate spoilers but this is one of those books where you have to reveal some things in order to share the magnitude of the sto...
