Congrats to you Lynne!  

ENJOY

This whole Gabby Moms review program is turning out to be very taxing on my emotions. 

Last month when I found out I was reviewing a magazine called "True Treasures" I was shaking in fear.  

Now this month I've been asked to review an e-newsletter entitled Encouraging Moments and I'm filled with the feeling of hatred dislike.   Not a fan of e-anything!

As I was preparing to bow out of this month's review, I felt a gentle prompting in my spirit.  That still small voice saying to me:  "ok,'know-it-all'....maybe, just maybe, some mom/wife/home schooler in this big-wide-wonderful world that I've created actually LIKES e-newsletters! AND needs some encouragement! Ever think of THAT?"  

God has been teaching me that just because I believe or like something  differently than someone else doesn't make them wrong...just different.  So, I decided to take a step back and look at this e-newsletter for content.

So to the desktop I go, 'cuz my laptop is taking a vacation.....(I'm sure there a lesson for me there, but I'm going to wait on exploring that one!)

When I opened it up the first words I see are:  "Dear Cindy".....good start...nice and personal!

First sentence reads:  "Spiritual strongholds are sinful ways of thinking that have probably been part of our personality for so long we hardly even see them"  Again I hear that still small voice asking, "Could this be like thinking everyone has to think/feel/believe the same as you do or they are wrong?"   Sounds like this e-newletter has something in it I need to read.....

Continuing on-----

I am reminded that I need to "take out the garbage" that feeds that wrongful thought and replace it with a "Bible bath".  Read, study, meditate and memorize God's Word daily until it comes a part of me. 

Nothing really earth-shattering or new.  I KNOW all that, but do I LIVE all that?  The knowing part comes easily to me, but the living part, um, not so much.

The newsletter continues with some advertising of products offered at Eternal Encouragement Magazine, Lorrie's speaking schedule, quotes from Facebook, a section called Chick Flicks for Mom, another article with link about staying within a budget which talks about a favorite author of mine, Dave Ramsey!!! (I am offering a giveaway of his book The Total Money Makeover w/workbook here ).  

This weekly encouragement is  "short and sweet".  You can read it in probably 10 minutes or less.  Who doesn't have 10 minutes a week to be encouraged?

My lack of enjoying digital books leads to a blessing to someone reading this.
