    I really appreciated what you said about the children’s book you read first; how there always has to be a message and children can’t simply enjoy reading for readings’ sake! That helped me see things more clearly as I look for books for my kids. Loved this vlog! Great to have another sister in Christ on here!

    • @ChristianFaithAndFiction

      Thank you 😃 I know educational books have a place in helping children grow, but I feel like everyone should be able to just enjoy reading for fun too 😁

    Wow the baptism is amazing and the worship you did! I have read the most books I have ever read in a month thanks to the readathon!! 😮 🥳 I am currently on my 5th book and I have had bingo's already but I am trying to get a blackout!

    • @ChristianFaithAndFiction

      That's great 😃 I'm on my fourth and fifth book but the kids books weren't quite as long as my normal books!! I'm glad the readathon is inspiring you to read more this month 🥰

    The audio of Loyally Luke was fantastic. I do more than one book at a time and different mediums, audio or print. I keep them separate by using different genres, etc.

    • @ChristianFaithAndFiction
      @ChristianFaithAndFiction  7 місяців тому

      Yes, that's what I used to. It seems to be working at the moment. I don't think my brain could keep track of more than two books though 😝😂

    My neck hurts so bad when I read too I haven’t done a lot of physical reading until recently and realize now it bothers me more. I love audiobooks too to help avoid that.

      Yea. I was gutted that Sharon Hinck's series wasn't available on audible. But it has great Christian content 😃

    Hi Lou. I really loved your vlog. The beach scenes were beautiful. I have a very bad habit of starting reading one book then picking up another one then yet another. I need to break this habit, organize what I have started and finish one at a time. I have quite a TBR. I am at the point where it is stressing me out.
    I love watching parts of your spiritual and prayer life. Listening to how you felt God's presence was so special. I have somehow drifted away from my Bible reading and study. Have you any advise on how to get back to my spiritual time with God. Do you have a daily ritual for prayer. I find your vlogs so peaceful and inspiring. They help me so much. May Father God bless you and keep you safe. Please say a prayer for me.
    With love and light
    Sylvia,
    Ottawa, Canada.

      Yes I will pray for you. I have a habit of reading the Bible in the morning after I've woken up and/or while I have breakfast. Then I try to have a short prayer time where I write down my prayers before bed. I keep trying to have a longer prayer time but that really comes and goes. I can't seem to find a habit for that. I listen to an audio Bible on my phone app which really helps me. My only advice would be to start small or slow and tie it to something else you do regularly. I've got slightly more brain cells in the morning so I try to spend time with God then, before my brain gets too tired!

      I tried varifocals (I think that's probably the same thing) but they made me feel sick and dizzy. Thankfully they changed them to bifocals for free 😃 So sadly not for me but they're definitely better if you can tolerate them 😁
