I am so new to this so please share your thoughts and advice!<\/p>\n
Recently I have started a cover to cover 90 day bible challenge, and boy is it a challenge! I will say first off for me reading my bible from beginning to end is not easy. I often forget. I get distracted and I really have to remind myself everyday to read my bible so much so that I have taken to just carrying my bible with me everywhere I go (which is not a bad habit whatsoever). Through this journey though, I have already learned so much about patience and kindness and the love God has for not only me, but all of his children. I have really been working on myself and my thoughts my habits and also what I put into my mind.<\/p>\n
I love reading and so the reading part of reading my bible is really great. The discipline of sitting down and reading is another thing, but through learning that discipline I have learned to have a lot of discipline in the rest of my life. I am able to control habits I wasn’t able to before. I have come to realize in the few weeks I have been reading my bible god has worked in me even if the text that I am reading that day does not speak to me directly.<\/p>\n
In the process of cleaning up my mind and what I put in it, I have started listening to Jeff and Alyssa Bethke’s podcast. I have been following Jeff’s videos and Facebook page for a while now and I was so excited to see that they were so high up on the list in the Christian podcast category on iTunes. They have such a great mentality on life and happiness and gods grace! I have learned so much from them and because of them I have started to look at life so much differently and more positively.<\/p>\n
Alyssa co-wrote a book with Robin James Gunn called Spoken For<\/em> that has seriously inspired me. It’s written for girls and women, but is really for girls between 13-18. As a 21 year old though I have really benefited from it. They write all about how before time God had already claimed you as his own. You don’t need the love of a boy or a girl or anyone at that, because God loves you and he always will whether you are following him or not. I have been so extremely inspired by this book and its taught me a lot about the self love and self worth that I never thought about before!<\/p>\n I am extremely excited about God’s work in my life and I will continue sharing not only about gods love but all my happy travels throughout Europe and Switzerland!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I am so new to this so please share your thoughts and advice!
