SUMMER READING
The Girl on the Train
Has anyone else read this book?  I typically do not read fiction - but I heard good things about this book, so I thought I would read it.  Plus, it is set in London - so right there, I am interested. So far - I am enjoying it.

Jesus Calling
I love this daily devotional. When I read the each one - I feel as though they were written specifically for me, and what I am dealing with.

"HOLD MY HAND— AND TRUST. So long as you are conscious of My Presence with you, all is well."

How to Win Friends & Influence People
This book has been on my reading list for quite some time.  I am currently reading it - it has some good advice.  We are to read everything twice - so that we remember it - and then put it into practice so not to forget it.

"Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain— and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving. “A great man shows his greatness,” said Carlyle, “by the way he treats little men.”"

#GirlBoss
I have mentioned this book before - but I enjoyed reading the story of how Sophia Amorusa started and grew her highly successful business.

"If you believe that what you’re doing will have positive results, it will—even if it's not immediately obvious."

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"Your goals should be your friends; they should excite you, and you should look forward to working toward them. Goals are not chores . In fact, if any begin to feel like a chore, you need to reevaluate. If a goal seems too hard, make it easier."

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

“There is a difference between Wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Closed minds do not inspire faith, courage, and belief.”

- Think and Grow Rich

To BELIEVE in yourself...  I think it is easy to get stuck in the negative - pity me thinking - and struggle with believing we can accomplish great things. We can feel overwhelmed and not know how to move forward on what we want. I know I am guilty of this and have eluded to it recently. I think it is something we all struggle with - especially in this very personal blogging community.  It is easy to get caught up in comparisons and the lack of courage to do our own thing. This idea of BELIEVING makes me think of a quote recently from the NBA finals, when LeBron responded to a reporter's question and said that he was the “best player in the world”.  This is a bold statement.  I do not think we should go around boosting that we are the best - but on the flip side - we need to believe in ourselves.  LeBron believes he is the best and he plays like he is the best, which I believe has a lot to do with his attitude. (He has also been blessed with amazing athletic ability.)  Contrary to boasting though, it is best to display a humble attitude with an internal belief in our abilities.  Internally, we need to BELIEVE we can accomplish great things through the One that strengthens us and has given us our unique abilities.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

"WAIT PATIENTLY WITH ME while I bless you. Don’t rush into My Presence with time-consciousness gnawing at your mind. I dwell in timelessness: I am, I was, I will always be."

- Jesus Calling

For me, PATIENCE is something I struggle with.  I am not a patient person - when it comes to getting things done, or waiting for something to happen, or even driving.  Slowly watching my blog grow - takes patience - wondering what the next steps are - is extremely difficult.  I like to run ahead - get things done - and not wait.  It is a daily reminder that I do not need to number my steps or plan my way on MY own - rather, I need to sit and listen - and hear what is next.  My ways are not always His ways (Isaiah 55:9).
