A New Year, A New You...

So far in this new year things are going well. I'm reading a few books to keep me encouraged and positive. I'm following a new, healthy diet, readjusting my priorities and pursuits in life, and seeking God's guidance through it all because without Him I am a helpless mess lol. Some of the books I'm reading include: the Bible, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God, and The Myth of Happiness: Discovering a Joy You Never Thought Possible. All of these books are proving to be very helpful to me.

The first book I am reading is the Bible. I am attempting to read the Bible in one year which I thought sounded quite overwhelming at first. However, now that I have started reading a few chapters a day I find it quite enjoyable and I look forward it each day. The second book I am reading is Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God by Francis Chan. This book has really helped me so far and I have a hard time putting it down! The third book I am reading is The Myth of Happiness: Discovering a Joy You Never Thought Possible by Rich Wagner. This book is teaching me a lot about the idea contentment and joy vs. the idea of pursing happiness.

I would highly recommend any of these books, especially the Bible. My attitudes and outlook have been changing for the better since I started reading these books and I hope it continues throughout the year. Please let me know how your new year is going. If you decide to read any of these books please tell me about it. I hope that with God's help, reading these books changes you for the better as well.
