Do you like a good challenge? I know I do. So when I read about Jon Acuff's Empty Shelf Challenge over on his blog, I just knew I needed to join this one!

I love to read, so that part of the challenge would be easy for me. However...

...trying to find an empty bookshelf? That is a bit of a problem in our house. You see...

...most of our bookshelves are quite full, some are even overflowing. But, I moved a few things around and...

...I now have one empty shelf to start the challenge!

I love that Jon encourages us to start the challenge now! Why wait until January 1st? So here are a few books I am currently reading: 'Crazy Love' by Francis Chan, 'The Reluctant Prophet' by Nancy Rue (reading this one on my Kindle), 'Working with the Poor' by Bryant Myers and others, and 'Understanding God's Heart for Children' by Douglas McConnell and others.

Now what I should do is go around my home and make a list of all the books I hope to read this year...
