book club~book #2
categories: i recommend, Uncategorized
| well, i’ll admit it. no, i never finished book #1 from the busy mom’s book club. i bought it, i started off good and then….lost track. i read fiction a lot, but for some reason, i never finished the book. i did enjoy it and learn from it. i should have kept going, but i didn’t.
anyways….lisa has announced book #2. “Captivating” by John & Stasi Eldredge. i am hoping to pick up the book in the next day or two. go ahead! pick up a copy for yourself. grab your book and snuggle up with it under a warm blanket and a hot cup of coffee (or hot chocolate, tea, whatever your pleasure) and dig into the next book with us. join us! i’m sure you will enjoy the discussions that she offers on her website. |

LITTLE CHOICES
by Gail Rogers
The tiny wrinkles around my eyes seemed to appear almost overnight. One day I was very aware of them and knew I had better get that eye cream I was hearing about. I’d better try the “triple action”! I was amazed at the results…and in such a short time! This was good.
The waistband on my jeans felt tight. Could it be those wonderful cappuccinos I was regularly enjoying? I was amazed at the results… and in such a short time! This was not good.
I didn’t like the sand paper edge that seemed to spring up in a friendship of mine. I asked the Lord for patience and grace to bite my tongue. I was amazed at the results… and in such a short time! This was good.
Little decisions or changes peppered throughout the day push the edge of results to the negative or the positive.
It’s the same in your spiritual journey. Little changes… conscious little choices that push your walk with God in one direction or another. Little choices to let God in or to hold Him at a distance. Little choices of attitude; little choices of purity in thoughts or choices of entertainment. Little choices. Invite Him into them. You will be amazed at the results… and in such a short time!
“Create in me a clean heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me”
(Psalm 51:10).
This New Years don’t make grand resolutions that will fade in a few short weeks. Choose daily to let God be a part of the little choices…choose to be amazed …and in such a short time!
~Heavenly Father,
Thank you that You can create what is right and good in this heart of mine that often struggles with the little daily choices. Thank you that I can count on You to renew a right attitude within me. I am not making grand New Year’s resolutions that will fade, but I am asking You to help me make the right daily choices in the little things of life. I want to be changed in this New Year. I want You to renew right attitudes in me daily. Amaze me with the results, Father, as You guide me in the small things of my day. Thank you that I can face this New Year with freshness and anticipation because You are holding my hand! You will help me in the little things of my life. For this I give You my praise! In Jesus name I pray, Amen
