Did you know that many libraries offer digital
resources like audiobooks? If you did, then great, I hope that means you are
using them. If you live in a traffic congested area or for some other reason
spend a great deal of time in your car, then why not make that time productive,
and maybe even a little less stressful? One way to do this would be
to use said digital resources from your local library and listen to audiobooks
while in the car. Hopefully this will allow you to better yourself during a
time when you ordinarily would only be listening to music, news, or getting
frustrated with the person in front of you that didn’t signal.
My local library (Sno-Isle Libraries www.sno-isle.org) utilizes a neat app called
Libby. This makes it incredibly easy for me, because it automatically downloads
audiobooks (or e-books) that I have placed on hold as they are available (you
can edit this if you don’t like it). That way I have all the books I am
currently listening to ready to go, even if I am in an area where cell service
is spotty because I am not streaming, and I don’t have to remember to download
ahead of time. Since it is on my phone, I always have it with me (now if I just
start taking headphones with me so I can listen when I am waiting for
appointments). While I am driving I can just connect my phone via Bluetooth and
enjoy audiobooks through the car stereo system, assuming my daughters aren’t
screaming.
If you don’t have access to these resources then also
check-out christianaudio.com. They offer a free audiobook for download every
month. This may not always be something that can help you to be better in one
of your God-given roles, but if it ends up being a fiction work, at least it
will be wholesome fiction, not a Harlequin or something along those lines. Plus,
I wholly encourage reading for fun and relaxation as well as to better
yourself.
