A Few of My Favorite Things March Edition

So, I forgot to do a February edition but here are some of my favorite things from this month.

This is where I am getting my MSW from - Asbury University.  Spring has officially started and the campus is so beautiful in the spring.



This picture is taken fromhttp://www.votors.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/horses.jpg).  Since spring has come every time I go driving out of my town, this is the view I get to see.  I love driving and see all of the baby animals (not just horses but cows too)!

Now that spring has arrived I officially love listening to country music again.  There's just something about listening to country music while you're cruising down the backroads of Kentucky:)  Of course, Florida Georgia Line is always my favorite to put in my car's cd player when it gets warm.  These are my favorite things for this month - so pretty much I just have to say that spring is my absolute favorite thing right now:)

Where Courage Calls ~ Janette Oke

Janette Oke is the pioneer of Christian fiction.  I remember that I skipped straight from children's books to adult books when I was 11 years old.  The first adult books I read were the Love Comes Softly series.  Whenever I tell people that I am addicted to Christian fiction, they automatically bring up Janette Oke because her name is synonymous with Christian fiction.  I was so excited when I heard that Janette Oke was coming out with this new book in the When Calls the Heart series.  

When I was younger I read the When Calls the Heart series over and over again.  I loved the story of Wynn and Elizabeth.  It was so cool to read about the RCMP and living out in the frontier of Canada.  Where Courage Calls definitely stays true to the When Calls the Heart series.  I absolutely loved getting to read another frontier story.  There is something about Janette Oke's books that always touch the heart.

Janette Oke is the best at taking a love story and making it beautiful yet realistic.  The characters in her story do not just fall in love and live happily ever after.  They face real struggles and persevere through them.  This is something I have always appreciated about Janette's stories.  When Courage Calls holds true to Janette Oke's signature style.  This book is a definite must read!
