Sometimes I just have to remind myself I am not

Well, I spent some money today. I think it was a good way to spend the money though. I ended the day with five CD's, including one that was free, three books, one trowel, one pair of gardening gloves, ten rolls of film, and a happy me filled with two scoops of ice cream: chocolate brownie and cookies & cream. Each CD has a song that I have heard before, and have been moved by. I was happy to cut down my list of wanted CDs by half, and supply myself with music that will help me through the trip to Africa and days to come. I decided against purchasing the next book in a series I have been reading through, backwards at that... because I realized that it wasn't the type of book that would be great to take on a trip like this. It isn't just a camping trip, and though I know I will not be able to read some books I have that were recommended by my professors, I knew I couldn't bring straight Fiction.

So, instead I purchased two books that I found to be in the middle, or at least in my range of books my mind will take in: Keeping a Princess Heart: In a Not-So-Fairy-Tale World by Nicole Johnson, and a book that I believe Gina has read in the recent past, Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman's Soul by John & Stasi Eldredge.

The CDs that I am currently adding to my collection are: Bebo Norman : Try; Nichole Nordeman : Brave; Kutless : Strong Tower; Krystal Meyers : (not sure of the album title); and the 2005 Simply Great Music album.
