My new Bible

Thank you so much to Jeff Noble for my new Bible! It arrived yesterday, so I have started reading it right now, but stopped for a minute to blog. He has challenged me to read this everyday for a week, and then share something I have learned with someone.

So, I opened the Bible up and read the first page I opened to, and it was perfect for me. It was talking about being content with what you have, and not wishing for more. I struggle with this daily, and have always had problems with this! It reminded me of a scripture that I have recited to myself over and over again, but I think it falls on my deaf ears! Phillipians 11-13....I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances......It also talked about starting a blessings journal, which I have been reading on Becky's G.'s blog that she has started one, and I was thinking about it. I think this is something I REALLY need to do, b/c I am EXTREMELY blessed, and won't let myself be grateful for it b/c I am do busy wishing for more! I have never allowed myself to just be happy, and this is a constant internal struggle. It is like I take it as a personal failure b/c I do not have all of what I THINK I need. It is crazy....and odd how one part of my brain knows how dumb I am for feeling and thinking the way I do, while the other part of my brain won't shut off constantly being discontent!

So, it is late, my battery is almost dead, and I am just rambling! You get the jest of it.....I like my new Bible, and I am really going to take my studying seriously! So, the page just flipped to finding the right church.....another struggle I have been having lately. So, I am off to read.

THANK YOU, JEFF!!!
