books and dance

I’m currently reading [and loving] A Woman After God’s Own Heart by Elizabeth George. About a year ago a friend lent me this one and also Loving God with All Your Mind. I read the latter quite quickly. It was much needed at the time and I’m so thankful she recommended it. The current book sat on my night stand, went on vacation with me, moved houses and was put back on my night stand – where it sat. and waited.

[A big thank you to this friend who graciously hasn’t minded that I have borrowed it this long…I will return it soon!]

I don’t believe in chance, I believe that God orchestrates all things in HIS timing. And therefore, I picked up this book last week and began to read. And change. I am humbled by what God is teaching me through this book and His word. [READ IT!]

Another book recommendation, a novel. The HELP by Kathryn Stockett. A very good book about maids in the 60’s in Jackson, Mississippi. A movie was made based on the book and is coming out this summer – I hope it’s as good.

On Saturday, I bought another cardio video workout to add to my routine. Hip Hop Cardio. Ha! It appeared to be the best Wal-Mart had, and different from what I already own. John and I did the introduction [all the basic moves]…
And let’s face it – I STINK!

It is clear that I am not a dancer. And it is going to take a lot of practice and hard work to even learn the basics! Good thing I get to do it in the privacy of my basement (unlike zumba, which I might be trying out soon). John’s not too bad, he's quite coordinated. I WILL get better [notice that I am not giving any sort of timeline…because it could take a while!] and hey, if I have to do it as much as I imagine to be decent…I’ll drop a few lbs too!
