Have you ever had a moment as a grown adult that you just are giddy in a store. Like Christmas morning giddy.... I totally squelled in delight in a store this past week. I am a 38 year old woman and I squeeled in a store!
So what happened you ask.... oh I am so glad you asked.... let me tell you!
So on this particular day I was actually in the store, ok Hobby Lobby, and I was looking for something completely unrelated (honestly I didn't know they sold books) and just happen to walk by a far check out line (no one was manning it) that had the cute little key chains that I spotted. No I was not really looking for a key chain, I just simply got side tracked, as I always seem to do in this store. You see I have a love for flamingos and yes.... there was a flamingo key chain that I just happen to spot.
As I got closer I noticed that there were books. Curious as to the books they might have, maybe something to do with design or decor, I realized they were not something I was expecting, devotionals and journals, beautifully decorated with tiny little flowers and little flakes of gold. As I circled around the end I see it, the book I have been wanting to read and just really dive into, and at a great deal.... I couldn't believe my eyes. I was just like a little girl on Christmas morning. I immediately snatched it up and placed it in my cart, and headed to checkout!!
I was so excited to dive in but couldn't put the other one down, and I am not that kind of gal that I start one before I finish another. I could give you all kinds of reasons as to why and sound real cool, but really is I don't think I could focus on two books at the same time and actually get anything from them. Don't get me wrong the other book was/is fantastic, and I would recommend everyone take some time to read it! You will defiantly be blessed.
That evening I finished up the 1st book and thought long and hard about starting the new one but decided against it. I didn't want to risk staying up all night reading and then regret sets in about mid day the next day at work. So I opted for prayer and curling up in bed for a good nights sleep. However I tossed and turned wondering what was in this book. So I peeked.... and the peek grew into reading. I decided I would only read a few pages and that turned into rounding out the first chapter. And in true Me fashion... I have to bust out the highlighter and pencil.
I now have the first chapter down and am looking forward to the rest of the book. So if you are looking for a fantastic book I highly recommend this one!
Enjoy!!!! Oh and don't forget your highlighter!!!!
