Personal Progress Complete!

We are super proud of Kayley for completing all the requirements to receive her Personal Progress Medallion at Young Women in Excellence this week!  

She finished the entire program in just under a year.  

What is Personal Progress?  

The Personal Progress program uses the eight Young Women values to help you understand more fully who you are, why you are here on the earth, and what you should be doing as a daughter of God to prepare for the day you go to the temple to make sacred covenants. It will help you prepare for your future roles as a faithful woman, wife, mother, and leader in God’s kingdom. Participating in Personal Progress teaches you to make commitments, carry them out, and report your progress to a parent or leader. The patterns you establish as you work on Personal Progress—such as prayer, scripture study, service, and journal keeping—will become personal daily habits. These habits will strengthen your testimony and help you learn and improve throughout your life.  (www.churchofjesuschrist.org)

Personal Progress is hard work and required many hours of study and service.

You can learn more about the Personal Progress program on its page at Church Of Jesus Christ.

The Heart of a Vicar {Book Review & Giveaway}

Oh my!  I have reviewed several books by Sarah M. Eden in the past and she quickly became one of my favorite authors!  She has an amazing series of books following the life and loves of the Jonquil brothers.  This next book in the series doesn't disappoint!  In fact, I remember reading about "Holy Harry" in a few other books and I was so excited to see him finally get a story all his own.  Let me share more about it!

Sarah Sarvol fell in love with a young, daring, and dashing Harold Jonquil.  He seemed to return her sentiments but decided that marriage to Sarah just wouldn't work leaving her confused and bereft.  After going their separate ways he is shocked to find, a few years later, that Sarah has returned from living in America and that she is still unmarried.  Harold has now achieved his dream of becoming a Vicar but he is struggling spiritually and feels disconnected with the community...As his path continues to cross with Sarah, she points out his inadequacies and offers him advice.  Of course, who wants advice from a woman on how to be a good vicar?  But, when she insists to him that SHE would be a better vicar than he, well...what is a guy to do but stand back and watch.  Sarah proves her point as she charms the community as well as Harry.  

Do you think they could find it in their hearts to try to make a go at a relationship again?  

I won't tell you, but you should get your hands on this book to find out!  

The Heart of a Vicar is #7 in the list of Jonquil Brothers series but you do NOT have to read the others first to enjoy this book.  However, I will say that as soon as I read this one, I immediately requested the first 6 from the library!  You will want to know more about the rest of the Jonquils!

The Heart of a Vicar is available now from your favorite retailer.
