Mar. 24, 2008 - Forbidden to Read Fiction!!!!
Posted in Gracefilled Education
Yes, it's true!! I am forbidden to read fiction. Every time I pick up ANY fiction book, I can't put the thing down. I get so caught up in the story that it becomes impossible to put it down. I will stay up WAY past my bedtime just keep reading. I did it last summer when I finally sat down to read "Pride and Prejudice." I did it two summers ago when I picked up "Little Women" and reread it after many years. This time I picked up a book by Francine Rivers. It's called "Redeeming Love." Yes, it is a romance novel. I swore off romance novel several years ago when I noticed myself become very discontent with life around me. This one came highly recommended by a MALE friend of the family though so I thought I would try it. The story is based on the book of Hosea in the Bible. It's sooooooo good.
I am thankful that my in-laws are here this week. I have had a little reprieve from all the responsibilities of being a mom. The kids are not clamoring for my attention like they normally are. LOL!!! Now they are clamoring for Nana and Gramp's attention. I am still around for the basics. But I feel kind of free just getting to read. I have also taken some time to do some school planning. With the baby coming next fall, I am changing school up a bit so we can finish most of it by November. It's been nice to get to plan and order my curriculum early. But the reading of my fiction romance novel has been the most fun. I read for 4 straight hours this afternoon. I had to stop myself so I could rest my eyes and my brain. Too much twaddle with dumb mommy down as well.
Well, I am off. I am going to read a few more chapters and then make Tortilla soup for everyone to eat tonight. Yummy!!!!! After I finish this fiction novel I will be forbidden to read anymore fiction. . .until the next time I find a good book to lose myself in. hehehe!!!

You are funny! I personally read good fiction as like that particular book does not dumb me down, but drew me to my knees. It can depend on how it affects a particular person. I cried and cried, repenting and seeing the great love God has for us even though we go back to the mire again and again.
I do enjoy a good non-fiction books often as well, I read a real variety!

I love having a place on the web to simply write out my thoughts. I am a wife and mother to 5 very special blessings ages 6 months to 8 yod. As I am growing through this season of my life, I hope to share how the Lord is teaching me to live by His daily grace and not by my own strength.
