Hey Friends of NLD,<\/p>\n
I am planing on getting back to the 23rd Psalm series this week….I promise!\u00a0 But I have just a quick moment to share with you some things that I am reading and have just finished reading and I would highly recommend these books!<\/p>\n
The first is Captivating<\/strong> by John & Stasi Eldredge.\u00a0 It was fantastic and very much what I needed.\u00a0 A little excerpt off the back cover says this, “Your heart matters more than anything else in all creation.\u00a0 The desires you had as a little girl and the longings you still feel as a woman-they are telling you of the life God created you to live.\u00a0 He offers to come now as the Hero of your story, to rescue your heart and release you to live as a fully alive and feminine woman.\u00a0 A woman who is truly captivating.”<\/p>\n The second is So Long Insecurity, you’ve been a bad friend to us<\/strong> by Beth Moore.\u00a0 I am still reading this and I am in chapter 12.\u00a0 It is a great read as well.\u00a0 Beth so identifies with the heart of a woman and knows our language.\u00a0 She communicates tough truths in a way that we can hear and receive them.\u00a0 Let me share some thoughts from the back cover.\u00a0<\/p>\n “You’re considering the book because you saw the word insecurity<\/em>…and all your buried insecurities surfaced.\u00a0 You know you’re insecure.\u00a0 So either you rushed to snatch the book up, not caring who saw, or you casually strolled over, hoping no one would see you as you slyly picked it up.\u00a0 You know you need help.\u00a0 (You’re not alone).\u00a0<\/p>\n Maybe you’re ok for the most part…but there are those insecurities you could work on.\u00a0 THings could be better.\u00a0 You’re wondering, Can I really say, “So long” to my insecurities?<\/em> (Yes, you can.)\u00a0<\/p>\n Or maybe you’re just curious.\u00a0 You’re fine.\u00a0 You wonder what on earth there is for so many women to be insecure about.\u00a0 And has Beth Moore, of all people, struggled with insecurity?\u00a0 (Yes, she has.)<\/p>\n Whoever you are, this book is for you, because you have it in you to be secure”.<\/em><\/p>\n So….if you are looking for some good reading material check these out!\u00a0 Are you on spring break this week??\u00a0 Share with us what your family is doing as we are stuck here in the office peering out the window and the wonderful sunshine and warmth!<\/p>\n See you back in the 23rd Psalm in the next post!!<\/p>\n Dana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hey Friends of NLD, I am planing on getting back to the 23rd Psalm series this week….I promise!\u00a0 But I have just a quick moment to share with you some things that I am reading and have just finished reading and I would highly recommend these books!
