Surprise, Another Book!

I also bought another amazing book. Surprise. I hate reading, right? This one's called The Uncommon Woman: Making an Ordinary Life an Extraordinary One. And another surprise, the very first page already has a million jillion things that I like. It's amazing to me that these are all things I think about, but cannot seem to conjure up the way a "real" author does.

1. Accepting acceptance means having the courage to face foibles, without allowing them to diminish our value.
2. Refuse to let others define you, because GOD already has.
3. We learn to understand who we are by knowing whose we are.
4. People are not what they do-- they are people God loves.

"The uncommon woman believes the wonderful truth about herself. Moreover, she has the capacity to view others from this same heavenly perspective. Bursting from her heart is the conviction to do something about the injustices in her world. She walks with a purity that allows her to see God everywhere. And the Kingdom of God is so strong in her life that everywhere she places her feet suddenly becomes an uncommon and holy place-- because she's there. You can be that woman. You were meant to be that woman."
