Currently Reading...

 

[via & via]

I mentioned in this post and also this post that I have decided to disbelieve the lies in my head that "nothing good will ever happen" and that "I have no skills or talent to offer." These lies had led me to stop pitching, working, writing and connecting like I should.


I am choosing to believe Christ when He says "He is working all things together for my good."

One other thing I dumped at the wayside in my season of inaction was reading. I had the desire to read, but no energy or motivation. That was weird for me, because I am a voracious reader.

I also mentioned in my post on Tuesday that I have decided to take some action steps to help eliminate inaction and oppose these lies. One step is to get back to reading and reading a lot. When I read, I generate ideas and write better. That means I need to get back on my 2012 Reading List, because I am performing woefully as it is. :(

I am currently reading "Produced by Faith" by DeVon Franklin and "How Laziness Saved my Life" by Okechukwu Ofili.

I actually finished "Produced by Faith" last night; it is an inspiring book and it speaks a lot to the season of life I find myself. Thus, I am going to make it my second bible for the next few weeks or months. I will be going through each sentence, paragraph and chapter step by step...meditating and reflecting as I re-read through.

I started "How Laziness Saved my Life" last night. It was written by a new friend I met in the social media world, and I am rooting for him. He is not only an ambitious personality, but a passionate and brave one.  I have posted one or two posts about his new book, and I am excited to read it. I will also be interviewing him for Genevieve Magazine Online...I need to finish the book so I can get some interesting questions and conversation going.

In other news and as I get back into action, I am meeting with a potential client later today, a fun non-profit based in Washington DC. I am excited, and I feel more like myself this week. Wish me luck!

Beloved, You are Loved Absolutely!
