February is upon us! Here's what I've been up to and am looking forward to this coming month.
What I'm thankful for: snow enough for sledding in January; the blessing of watching a DVD of Reverend Adrian Rogers' memorial service; warm sweaters and hot coffee; the old hymns sung at a hymn-sing at our church the other evening; the example of those who have gone before and give me courage.What I'm reading {fiction}: Still working on The Curate's Awakening by George MacDonald (edited by Michael Phillips) - It is truly excellent, but I've had not too much time to read (leisurely) lately.
What I'm reading {devotions}: After spending time in the Epistles this fall and early winter, I've returned to the Book of John. I'm also continuing and getting a lot from Streams in the Desert.
What I'm looking forward to: Valentine's Day comes very soon! :-) This has been a treasured holiday in our family since I was a little girl. We love to decorate in red and pink, wear our Valentine's Day socks, of course, and make a heart-shaped pizza. This is our pizza from last year: It was very delicious! :-)
What I'm writing: The third book in the A Time of Grace trilogy has been drafted! :-) I'm cleaning up the rough draft before sending it on to my critique partners over the next couple of weeks or so. This book hasn't been christened yet (i.e. no title), but I'm hoping to share a back cover blurb soon with you. Thanks so very much to those of you who have continued to lift this book up before the Lord God - I greatly appreciate each one of you.
What have you been up to, friends? Any books I should put on my TBR list? How do you celebrate Valentine's Day in your family?
Grace and peace,
Alicia
Heart shaped pizza! How fun! I hope I'm on your list of critiquers, cause I'm looking forward to it! ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha - Yes, heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day is a tradition we look forward to every year! :-)
DeleteOh, I'm glad that you're up for being a critiquer again -- I'll be in touch with you soon.
Love these monthly updates!
ReplyDeleteAnd again, I am so very excited about the third book getting closer all the time!! :)
I'm glad that you enjoy the updates, Raechel! Can't wait for you to read book 3. :-)
