The Preppy Book Princess

  Happy Monday Friends :) I hope you're all doing well, and I want to thank you all for joining me for another book review here on The Preppy Book Princess. I hope you all had a great weekend! Yesterday was actually my mom's birthday, and I enjoyed a lovely evening with my family having Chinese food, birthday cake, and playing Dutch Blitz. Today I actually have the day off from work as well, so I'm looking forward to getting some cleaning done, catching up on some reading, and spending some time with my husband and kitties. I also want to devote plenty of time in prayer today to the situation happening in the Ukraine. My heart is breaking watching all the news coverage, and I pray that an end will be in sight to all this evil and hurt.  If you have the time today, I'd encourage you to pray for the situation as well, as we all know that prayer can move mountains, and I especially pray that every person over there would be able to find Jesus, and have his solace and prote...

  Hello Friends :) I pray today finds you all doing well. Before I jump into today's post, I just wanted to say that my heart is breaking for the situation in our world right now. There's so much evil and so much brokenness, and all of us need Jesus whether we immediately realize it or not. My prayers are with the people of Ukraine, and also with every person who has yet to meet Jesus as their personal Savior.  If you have something specific you'd appreciate prayers for, I'd love the chance to pray for you. Drop me a comment below, or send me an email through my email listed in the contact page.  Now let's jump right in to today's post.
