Books

I'm often one of the last people to jump on a trend. But when I was traveling this summer I ran out of books that I brought with me and purchased a copy of "The Shack" in the airport. I've heard lots about it but I typically avoid buying books. I love reading and frankly it is one of the ways God speaks to me. It doesn't seem to matter what kind of book he shows me truth about the world I am in the middle of through characters, their experiences and through non-fiction.

So I've read it once and I found it so packed with profound statements I was overwhelmed. I mean how to digest it all? I was talking with God a few weeks after finishing it and he told me to read it again. This time underlining and writing in it. I've spent the last week slowly going back through it letting more of it sink in.

There's so much there related to my should's and freedom and understanding that God does not seek to burden us.  I keep chewing on it. Pondering truth is so much better than pondering shoulds.
