The 4:8 Principle

I mentioned a while back that I had joined a "book club!" Some good Christian girls reading books that teach us more about our Faith and God's word. So, the first book we finished was called The 4:8 Principle, based on Philippian's 4:8

"Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

One of the most amazing parts of reading this book was actually watching God work through each of us during the process. Some of us had wonderful things happen and some of us had sad things happen...but we know that they are all part of God's plan for each of us.

The one thing I am walking away from this book with is the strategy to think more like God. Positive thoughts!!!! I catch myself constantly thinking something negative...1) If I catch one more red light, 2) How am I going to pay these bills, 3) What if something goes wrong in my relationship with my boyfriend...constantly negative. BUT...this book taught us to think positively and focus on what is good about every situation the Lord has put us in!! Our thoughts are present in our attitudes and our actions...so why not think positively!!!

Thanks so much Joy, Ashley, and Annie!!!
Can't wait for "Calm My Anxious Heart!" and "Crazy Love!"
