Reshaping it All - Day 54

Reshaping it All - Day 54


For those following along in the book, we are on to chapter sixteen today titled, "It is Well With My Soul." In this chapter, Candace shares a beautiful testimony about a time in their lives when their faith was tested. I hope you get a chance to read it!

We'll talk more about that chapter tomorrow. But before we move on, I want to share a pinch of practicality from chapter fifteen that offers a novel idea for those of us looking for a way to motivate ourselves. Candace writes:
Stop beating yourself up over mistakes you've made, and start rewarding yourself for the good choices you make. One way to do this is by keeping a jar close by into which you drop a coin each time you make a conscious effort that benefits your body, soul, or spirit.

You'll discover that the little choices we make add up quickly. Decide to use the money at the end of each month to reward yourself in some way. With the money you've saved, buy a pair of earrings, a lip gloss, or (if you've saved enough) a great pair of jeans. It will make you feel good and encourage you to make wise decisions more often. Reshaping it All, page 187

  1. I appreciate the advice to reward yourself for caring for yourself. I love that. I recently made a tin can and placed a picture of an Eiffel Tower on the outside. I'm saving for a trip to Paris and other parts of Europe. I call it Dream in a Tin Can.

  5. What a blessing this book has been in my journey to reshaping my life. I realize that it's not even so much my eating habits that need to change, but several other contributing factors!! Thanks for this giveaway!

  7. I have been reading your book and have found it very motivational. When I finish I am going to start it again. There is so much to get out of it reading it once would not be enough. I try to read a little each day to get me focused and keep my mind in line with this new way of thinking. I would love to win a copy to give to my daughter.

  8. In chapter 15 Candace talks about it being pointed out to her that what she was doing was sin. I needed to be reminded of that again. Sometimes it is so easy to think that it's not wrong, because we need food to live.

  12. Thanks for today's thoughts on caring for yourself! It can be doubly hard as an Army wife when hubby's away and you're tasked with all the extra's as well!

    Would LOVE to win this but am sure it will go to the best person God has in mind!

    Blessings to you and your family

  17. What a great blog post, I needed that right now. We have just got to learn to give it to him, he will take all our cares and worries away. It's so hard and yet so easy. I would like to give your book to my sister who had her first baby exactly one week ago. I think she could use some friendly advice from someone who's faith is so strong in God. Take care. Warmly,
