The One Day Way by Chantel Hobbs

-
Chantel Hobbs teaches you to take on a new life of fitness and faith one day at a time. Her strategy is to take each day as a challenge of it's own instead of setting huge goals of fitness or weight loss. You choose each day to live and eat right. This helps overcome the obstacle of failure and keeps you on track toward your goal one day at a time.

When I saw the book in the queue to be review at Random House, I thought, "Why not?" It's a new year and I could use something to freshen up my routine. I don't have any huge weight loss goal in mind, but I found myself encouraged anyway. Chantel is a Life Coach and it shows in her writing. Her words are empowering and speak victory. I was deeply impressed by her as she set challenges for every day in the stead of a long term goal. It encouraged me in every aspect of my life. Her teaching was completely intertwined with faith and kept the focus on God's ability to give us strength to meet our daily goals. I loved it. It was a great way to start the year. I am completely encouraged to press on with fresh vision in this new year.

"Self-sacrifice can offer something that regular indulgence can never deliver."

David Crowder's House Restoration

-

A recent edition of Waco Today featured David Crowder's six year renovation project(we had to go check it out). I said a quiet prayer that God would let our house be completed before six years was up for us and then I dove in to the details. David and his wife bought the home of the man who invented Dr. Pepper. It is encouraging to see something that took so much effort and energy come to completion. May we soon see the same thing. You can read the story of the Crowder renovation here .

A Writer's Callous

Alright, baby photo below. Quit emailing me! ;-) I remember having a writer's callous when I was five years old. In my adolescence I hated it. Now, I find it fascinating. Almost as long as I have been alive I have borne a mark that declares I am passionate about something in such a way that it bores into my skin. I have been blessed with wonderful Apple products to use and I still prefer writing things out. I heard Michelle Pfeiffer say David Kelley writes out all of his award winning shows on yellow legal pad. I like that. I prefer a journal and a real wood pencil (the kind that are stained, not the yellow ones.) There's something romantic about it to me. Writing is a choice medium in my relationship with God . I love to prayer journal. I pour out thanks for every minute that I get to spend doing it. In last weeks post I told you that God broke my Mac so I would spend some time alone with Him (then I can have it back in January). Shortly thereafter the enemy came in tel...

Miscarriage | Infertility | Hope

I encountered Jesus as a young child in a church pew in the balcony of an old country church. Through a lifetime of trial, I knew he was there. I did not always know or understand what he wanted of me, but I knew I was wanted. We could go through all of the pain and abuse of my life and unpack each tiny detail, but that is not what this is really about. I love what Frederick Buechner said, “Pain is not the biggest thing that has ever happened to you.” That is true. I have beheld far greater glory. As I clung to his word through all of this, I knew he was there.   My story about trying begins long before I began trying to have children. I tell you this because almost half of the population has been abused in some way. The attack on my uterus began when I was four-years-old. I spent most of my life believing that I was broken and I was crippled by shame. I carried that shame into every relationship I had. As I encountered people in the church, I never felt safe enough to ask for...
