 <\/p>\n

This is the most difficult time of the year for me. Bible studies have stopped. My routine is out of whack. I flounder a bit. But eventually, my schedule settles and I find contentment in my day-to-day rhythm of life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"books\"<\/a>I thought I\u2019d share one of my goals for the summer. My summer reading plan, because part of me telling y\u2019all this is that I will be held accountable for what I\u2019ve said. I will accomplish this because I\u2019ve told you, my most trusted and valued blog reader my plan.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019m already in the middle of this beautiful book called A Sudden Glory<\/em> by Sharon Jaynes. It\u2019s a borrowed copy of the book, but my plan is to purchase the book and read it again! It\u2019s that good. Her main idea is that in Christ we \u201clive and move and have our being.\u201d<\/em> (Acts 17:28) Good stuff.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As a partner book, I will be reading Becoming Spiritually Beautiful<\/em>, again by Sharon Jaynes. In this book, Ms. Jaynes helps readers to understand that real beauty begins on the inside and works its way out. Another reminder to look at myself from God\u2019s perspective.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the Senior Administrative Assistants Conference last week, we had the privilege of hearing Joan Burge speak to our group about being the best assistants we can be. She\u2019s written several books, but the one we received is Become an Inner Circle Assistant<\/em>. Doesn\u2019t that sound amazing? Especially in light of Jesus\u2019 inner circle. I look forward to gleaning much from this book.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And finally, I plan to read through C. Gene Wilkes\u2019 Bible study, Jesus on Leadership: Becoming a Servant Leader<\/em>. There are seven principles of servant leadership and I will be asking God to join me on this journey of serving others with a heart like Jesus\u2019.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I also have other things to do this summer. Write a Bible study. Handwrite a portion of the New Testament. Memorize Scripture each week. Read God\u2019s Word on a daily basis. And prayer walk.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Perhaps I have lofty goals. But I believe my main and ultimate goal is to keep my mind occupied and to be with God. If I accomplish these, I will be content.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So what are your plans for the summer?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
