Reading Goals and Blogging with Jordan McKinney

Love Jordan McKinney! She is all about positivity and focusing on Jesus. Let's pray for my sister Jordan and her family together. 

Jordan became an author this year and we are SO STOKED FOR HER!

And this week she shared her favorite verse that is helping her through this season is Psalm 27:13-14:

"I remain confident of this:
    I will see the goodness of the Lord
    in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
    be strong and take heart
    and wait for the Lord."

She also encourages us with some reading goals this year. Jordan gives us 7 steps to become a better reader in 2021.

Reading Goals for 2021:

1. Start small

2. No pressure from popular reading lists

3. Push to page 50

4. Sample audiobooks! Not all narrators are created equal

5. Self-reflection can come from any genre

6. Find some book accounts to follow for inspiration

7. It’s okay to not finish
