Making Good Habits, Breaking Bad Habits: 14 New Behaviors That Will Energize Your Life #SheReformedReads

-
Hey fellow booklovers,

Today I am sharing another book recommendation from one of my favourite authors Joyce Meyer. One thing I love about Joyce Meyer besides her no nonsense approach is that she has a way of making you feel like she is talking to you directly and knows exactly what's going on in your mind and heart. She is relatable and conversational in her writing, something I think a lot of people can resonate with in her books.
In her teachings and sermons she is known to have tough love approach however her message has always been that no matter who you are and what you have gone through, you can do better and that you absolutely can enjoy your life. 










 This is a book that instigates action and builds you up where you're saying to yourself - the only person in my way is me and the enemy who loves to get in my way.
One thing I personally got from reading this book was realising just how much my habits were holding me back.

Something Joyce said that was so powerful is that our words affect us and the people around us. They also affect what God is able to do for us. We cannot have a negative mouth and a positive life.







As people and perfectionists we can limit ourselves by having a habit of giving up before we even try, or we might have a habit of talking down to ourselves. God knows our potential and has the final say of what we are capable of doing, not people. For me it is liberating to think that it's only Him who can put limitations on us (not people!). He sees far more in us than we allow for our lives.






This book was insightful and a blessing to read and it really got me reflecting about the bad habits I have and what I can do to improve and take action.
It made me realise I have quite a lot to work on! BUT I have the best helper on my team to encourage and guide me.
Like many of her books, this is one that should be read more than once because there is so much to be gotten out of it.



What have you currently been reading? I'd love to know!

Dear Girls - A letter from Steven Mcleish

Dear girls, I have something to say to you:  the stuff you're listening to just isn't true  and I hope this gets through to you. You are not ugly, dumb or unattractive you need to take every thought captive because you captivate.  You are not just another stereotype and as you type your status know that you are more than your status and likes. You say you're fat and ugly but that is not what you post to be, a princess and daughter of the KING is what you're supposed to be. You are beautiful, unique, one in a billion, one of a kind, awesome, brilliant, creative,powerful,stunning, smart and a woman after God's own heart. And whether you think you're fat or thin just be comfortable in your own skin. And next time you think of the word beautiful don't forget to count yourself in. You are precious, a trusted diamond, boys who don't wait for you are not wise men because you are one of the most valued commodities there is.   And know you will never look like th

LEARNING FROM SEASONS: MALACHI 3:6

Hey sisters, Hope you're all enjoying the festivities that come with this time of year! Ok ok I have to admit, I'm such a winter baby. I'm all about the cooler weather, winter fashion, the aesthetic and of course CHRISTMAS. One thing I also love about this time of the year is the transition of season from winter to spring; flowers blossoming and the change in weather. It has always been a reminder to me of seasons of life. Life consists of so many seasons, some good and some more difficult. One thing we can be certain of however: Seasons change, the world is changing everyday but God NEVER changes. He is true to His word and His promises. He is the One that remains above all. “I, the Lord, do not change” (Malachi 3:6) He was mighty yesterday, is today and will be tomorrow. I wrote a post earlier in the year titled the best foundation - and it links with what was on my heart to write today. When we stand on the word and promises of God it becomes our

KNOWING HIM: DELIVERER

-
I just love reading about the different people in the bible that God delivered from all sorts of complex, difficult situations. For example, there was Paul and Silas who God delivered from prison (see Acts 16:23-26). There was also Daniel in the lion's den, whom God delivered from certain death by keeping the mouths of the lions shut! God also delivered David from afflictions; to be precise the mouth of the lion and the paw of a bear! (see 1 Samuel 17:37). These are just some of many stories that you can read about where God came through and brought them out the other side.  God is indeed a deliverer. Just like so many people in the bible, we will all face affliction at some point or another. Where we are hit with a brick wall and we think "now what?". There have been many times in my life where I was stuck in the lions den, the enemy would have loved so much for me to just bow and give up then and there. There is something we can do however: we can withstan
