What I am reading

Since about 2 weeks after my divorce, I began searching for books to read, books of devotions, and websites. Everything I picked up was "how to be the wife he needs", or "steps to fixing your marriage". Ok, not exactly what I was searching for. I mean really! I read these types of books when the marriage was struggling. I. was. past. that. I needed something modern, to help me after the divorce. After reading through book summaries that made me feel like I was horrible, I finally found two books by Kristin Armstrong -the ex-wife of Lance Armstrong. The first one I read is called Work in Progress and unfinished Woman's guide to Grace. LOVE. IT! It is a must read for any woman. It's not just about getting through a divorce, but going through Life being a woman of GRACE. In the midst of reading that I began the second. Happily Ever After, is a daily devotional directed towards that year after going through the divorce. I am a little slow moving through it, as when I get busy, I skip a day or so.  I have journaled some of the devotions. I would like to share them in blog-world. Her words opened my eyes to step out of my box and not feel sorry for myself, but to live this life how I was meant to live it. She was very encouraging.
