If you know me personally you may already know this story.  If not, now you get to know it too!

My husband and I went to a Christmas party that was held for the couples that had gone to the marriage retreat that we attended in September.  Each of us took a gift and while there we played gift grab (better known as Dirty Santa).  It ended up that I received the book "Captivating" by John and Stasi Eldredge and my husband got the book "Wild at Heart" by John Eldredge.  The couple that had purchased these books were the ones that had led the marriage retreat and they had been praying that the books would go to just the right people.  So, they were very excited that a couple had received both of the books.  We are planning to do a chapter a week (although we may revise that as there are 12 chapters and we might like to be through the books before three months are up). I purchased the guided journals to go along with each book.  At the end of reading our own books, we intend to read each others to help us understand each other better.  I have completed the first chapter and will share with you in  a soon to come post the highlights of that chapter.

Hope you have a day full of many of the Lord's blessings, but most of all His matchless presence!
