Ironically, I let life get the best of me and stopped reading this book for a while. But I'm back on the wagon. This quote is just what I needed!
Deciding to go back to school for my Bachelor's degree at the age of 35 is my small decision. I've been stuck in the same rut for years. Now that I'm accepted for the summer... That small decision is part of a bigger decision that will pay off.
Yesterday was National Book Day but it's never too late to share what I'm reading! #NationalBookDay
Chapter 15 talked about finding "an" answer - not "the" answer. Basically that means that where ever you are in life, you have to accept that even if you don't have the answer of where you want to be or go... You have to find an answer (any answer) and act on it. Little accomplishments become big accomplishments. You just have to trust the process. I felt that.
"Just because it hurt you doesn't mean it had to define you"
If I had a dime for every time I let someone words or thoughts about me keep me back, I'd be rich. It's harder to get over the pain than it is to take the pain. When I'm in pain, I sleep all day or scroll FB, not looking to better my situation. I still have a long way to go, but I learned over time to stop letting other people's words hold me back. No one can hold me back but me.
But while distractions might seem to give you life, the reality is that they can steal your life.
Chapter 4 spoke to me. Crystal spoke about her own particular drift in life but it is so much similar to mine. A romantic relationship can cause you to go so far away from who you was meant to be. As I think about how I was as a teenager prior to meeting my 1st boyfriend, I realized how creative I was and how much of a dreamer I use to be. I'm now trying to get back to that girl. I'm determined to not let my past control my future.
I had to own my story in order to fix my story.
pickFinished this one for #BOOKED2019 as my "related to a pod cast" pick. I'm glad I choose it in audio format. It was great to hear Chrystal read it herself. The book was very inspiring and functionally applicable. It's a book that will serve as a good resource as it's reader negotiates all her seasons of life.
Hannah, my audio book partner tonight. It's been a long day for her. the rain and storms have keeps us indoors 😒

pickSimilar to other Chritian inspiration books.
so-soThis was an okay read for me! I had no idea that it would be so religious, I guess I should have done some deeper research. It has some common sense advice and it was relatable, I just don't think that I'm necessarily the target audience. 😂
pickI found She‘s Still There inspirational and applicable in equal measures, I just loved it. Once I begun, I couldn‘t put it down and found myself reading it late into the night muttering “Amen, sister” several times as I related to the author‘s journey, jotting notes of things to try and highlighting sections of wisdom. It is such a needed message!
