For my birthday, I asked Matt for an iPad. Though I'd wanted one for quite a long time, I wasn't sure why I should actually have one. Sure, I like technology, especially Apple products, but I only had fun reasons for wanting it rather than practical ones.
After thinking of all the books I have lying around and how little space we have to store them, it occurred to me that buying more ebooks and reading them on the iPad would be a practical use while providing varied functionality. It finally made the list.
As it turned out, my mother-in-law offered to buy it for me for my birthday knowing I'd wanted one for a while. How sweet of her to remember and want to give such a nice gift.
My first purchase was the book by Lysa TerKeurst. I'd never read any of her books before, but I know she's got a good reputation in the Christian book arena. Though I've only read a small portion of it so far, it's been just the right book for me in this season of life.
Her book reads much like a personal testimony of God's work in her life and what she's learned. That has made it fun to read because I like hearing women speak of their personal journey with the Lord and how God has led them to the place they are in their relationship with Him today.
If you're looking for something new to read, I recommend it.
