Today we say goodbye to April and say hello to May. Flowers are blooming, the weather is warmer, and the pool will be opening in just a few weeks. Everyone is wearing shorts and flip-flops, and the fear of snow days is gone for good.
Okay, now that I'm done waxing poetic on the seasons, happy May! Here are a few of my favorite things this April that I want to share with you:
Blog Posts
This post from The Rebelution is such a good article, giving great advice for how to stay motivated in our daily hard things when we feel like all we want to do is watch TV.
35 Things I Wish I'd Know in High School, by Erin from Lies Young Women Believe, is a great list of truths to remember during our teen years. I especially like #6: "Being the prettiest or most popular girl in school matters for about half a second after graduation. In contrast, being the kindest girl in school gets remembered well past your ten-year reunion."
Books
Recently I've been reading two nonfiction books by my pastor: My God is True: Lessons Learned Along Cancer's Dark Road (which I just finished), and Setting Our Sights on Heaven (which I've just started), by Paul Wolfe. They are really good, full of Biblical truth with some humor sprinkled in (and I promise I'm not just biased because he's my pastor!).
(Also, I finally watched the three original Star Wars movies this month. Am I the only one who has gone fourteen years without seeing them??)
How about you? Do you have any favorites you want to share?
