Book: Diary Of A Teenage Girl – Becoming Me

Author: Melody Carlson

Becoming Me
(Caitlin # 1)

Sixteen-year-old Caitlin O’Conner reveals the inner workings of a girl caught between childhood and womanhood … an empty life without Christ and a meaningful one with Him. Through Caitlin’s candid journal entries we see her grapple with such universal teen issues as peer pressure, loyalty, conflict with parents, the longing for a boyfriend, and her own spirituality. Readers will laugh and cry with Caitlin as she struggles toward self-discovery and understanding God’s plan for her life. And they’ll be deeply moved by her surprising commitment regarding dating.
 
 
My Thoughts: When I opened the book and started reading, I thought wow this is going to be chore trying to read all of these diary entries. Once I started reading I totally forgot that I was reading from a diary. I was totally engrossed in the story that I had to turn back the pages to find out what day I was on. As the story unfolded I reflected back to my own teenage years and the events that occured in my adolescence. I could totally relate to Caitlin as she tried to find her way and who she was and changed who she was trying to fit in with the popular kids.
 
 
As Caitlin discoveres who she is as a person along the way she dismisses the childhood friendship of her best friend Beanie in order to fit it with the popular group. She befriends Jenny only the most prettiest, popular, cheerleader in the whole school.
 
 
She discovers she has a crush on Josh Miller, only the cutest and most popular boy in the whole school, but there is one problem he is the boyfriend of her new cool friend Jenny. What a dilemma this will be. How can she hide the feelings she has for him while maintaining her friendship with Jenny and not letting her find out.
 
 
Join the journey with Caitlin O’Conner as she struggles to fit in, tries to reconnect her broken relationship with her childhood friend, endures heartache and pain in her own family, battles with forgiveness, and discovers love. Even though she encounters a number of problems, it is during this time she finds a relationship with God and uncovers things about herself she didn’t know existed before.
 
 
I loved this book and I know you will enjoy reading it. For more information about the book or to order your copy today, please visit http://www.melodycarlson.com/diary.shtml

Valentines Day Weekend -  When hubby surprises you with a beautiful bouquet of roses! 😍

I remember when we were first dating my hubby brought  me 2 dozen red roses sitting in a frosted rose vase. I still have that vase! 

The roses were so beautiful!  He set the bar really high - roses just because!  He has been consistent even after 21 years of marriage! Thank you hubby! Love you!😍😘❤️

What is your “Morning Routine”?

I write these things down as a reminder of the things I need to be doing every morning when I wake up. 

Most days I am successful and I check off every single one! Some days I don’t get it all done. 

The funny thing about being consistent is that it requires action. We can right lists all day and never follow a single thing on it. 

Consistency equals discipline!

What are you doing with your time? 

We are all given the same amount of time. How productive are you with the time you have been given?

Are you walking in your purpose and calling?

Just a friendly reminder, myself included to be intentional with the time that we have been entrusted with. 

Every day is a new start!

How consistent are you? #consistency2021

When I signed up for this challenge, my goal was to be more consistent with posting and creating content.

If I don’t have a plan in place - consistently posting will be non-existent. This is definitely a challenge, but I am trying my absolute best to show up every day. We can do this!
