2015 Christmas Wish List
I am probably one of the easiest people to buy gifts for. If
it’s a present from a baking, book, makeup, craft, or clothing store, chances
are I’ll love it.
But seeing as though it can be overwhelming for someone to
shop in places like a craft or makeup store when they are not into those things
and don’t have a clue where to even begin, I like to put together a handy guide
to help point my family in the right direction so they can purchase gifts more
confidently. Aren’t I nice?
Every year I spend time putting a lot of thought into my Christmas
wish list. If possible, I like to make sure that I have a wide variety of products
at different price points to give my family plenty of options.
Hopefully you’ll discover some things that you might want to
put on your wish list next year, or at the very least, find some gift giving
inspiration.
Here are some things I’d love to receive this Christmas:
Books and music
Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans
I am extremely keen to read this story about a woman who has
overcome the hypocrisy and politics that sometimes occurs within church
communities, and how she found her place and purpose in the church again.
Unfortunately, Christians can be some of the worst people
sometimes. There have certainly been times in my life when some Christians have
made me feel ashamed to call myself one.
While I haven’t personally encountered the problems Evans has,
I think I’ll still be able to relate to her on some level as I am terribly
unhappy in my current church. I have been hurt so many times and I’ve reached
the point where I just don’t care very much for going anymore.
It’s a long story and I’m not sure yet whether I’ll blog it,
but at the moment I am trying to decide whether to tell a pastor how I’ve been
feeling and give this church another chance, or if I should just walk away and
find a church that I completely love. I’m hoping this book will help make what
I should do a bit clearer.
Hope Beyond Cure by David McDonald
This book seems like it will be a great read for me. It’s
about a Christian pastor who received a terminal cancer diagnosis which then
lead him to turn back to the Bible and question: “Is God there? Does He care?
When there is no cure, does God still offer hope?”
This year has been one of the worst years of my life; I have
felt extremely hopeless and depressed. I need to read this book.
Flash by Rachel Anne Ridge
This book sounds like it’s a heart-warming read.
Elevation Worship Wake Up the Wonder
Their music often gets me through the bad days.
Colouring books and pencils
If you’re following me on Instagram, you will know that I’ve
been getting into the colouring in craze lately. I’m addicted, and love these
stunning books: Secret Garden by Johanna Basford, Beauty in the Bible Adult Coloring Book by Paige Tate Coloring, Faith in Color Adult Coloring Book by
Pearlyn Choco for Paige Tate Coloring.
My colouring in motto is: when in doubt, add glitter and metallic. So I need some Derwent metallic pencils to add to my colouring stash also.
