no.258 140113 Thank you for the new book

Yay! More books to read:)

God must really want me to gain more insight through Christian books this year. I received another book today from a friend of mine. I had such an awkward time (a little more than 1 hour) between morning prayer and work this morning, and I didn't have a book nor my journal with me, so I was thinking about what I could do for an hour. My friend who was giving me a ride to the station suggested that I borrow one of his books. He had several books written by well known pastors. After browsing for a little, "Radical" by David Platt caught my attention. There were numerous people who has told me about this book so I wanted to read what it was about. What a great opportunity! He also offered me another book by Platt "Follow Me" since he had two copies. I have no idea what it's about, but I'm glad I've got more books to read (thank you for the book again!). I think God wants me to gain more wisdom not only through scriptures but also through writings by contemporary pastors. 

That reminds me, I had this idea of getting my own library started - I would stack the book shelf with art and architecture related books for a start, and slowly fill it up with other books including cooking, baking and Christianity. Oh yeah, my original idea was to collect astronomy related books because of my passion for stargazing. In my high school years, I received books on stars from my friends for my birthday and I loved it... yup, very nerdy haha. I have a lot of art related books from school, and I've started to collect some Christian books so... slowly but surely, I will make my dream of having my own small library come true!
