Not a Fan

I recently finished reading "Not a Fan" by Kyle Idleman. 

Let me be honest... I pretty much am a Fiction book lover. It's not to say that I don't read self awareness books. 

You want to know about living with a spouse with ADD?  I'm your girl. 
You want to know about how to handle life through and after infidelity? Let's chat. 
You want to know about strong willed kids? Get the hot cocoa ready. 

But really.. I don't like them. I avoid them. I read about three a year and that's because I force myself. Self awareness books - aka: self help books can be super helpful, but so boooooring. 

That is until I read this book. 
Hello world!!!

It was funny, engaging, and thought provoking. I was hooked. I read snippets to B where I was laughing aloud - I think he had additional confirmation to my zaniness. :)

It confirmed what I knew but didn't want to say aloud - I have a long road on this walk with Him. It helped me to map out a way to make better choices based on where I want to be and what I should avoid. Practical, real, honest. 

I took lots of notes but one that stood out to me defined what I want my relationship with Chridt to be:

Yada: to know completely and to be completely known. 

I want to yada Him. I want to be one with Him and to do that, I need to be purposeful. Every day. In all things.
