THE POWER OF JOURNALING (1).

I love taking down notes during messages in church.

However, over the years I realized that I began to write more, during church service (because God can actually speak to me even before I hear the days message. I also began to write more during personal devotions, study, retreats, and when I have dreams or visions.

And by writing more I mean reflective thoughts, declarations, prayers, confessions, instructions. 

At this time I knew this was no longer a regular church note or journal. Then I began to refer to this writings as My Meditation Journal as I would often go back to them for many different reasons. 

"The art of taking notes is a skill and it can be cultivated."

HOW I IMPROVED ON MY DAILY SCRIPTURE READING

I finally found an app that was exactly the same reading plan as my hard cover NIV Bible.💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾

The Bible in One Year, which contains passages for each commentary from Psalms or Proverbs, the New Testament and the Old Testament.

The Bible readings are taken from the NIV Audio Bible read by David Suchet, which is available for download from the App Store. While the authors of the daily commentary are Nicky Gumble and Pippa Gumble. 

You can download The Bible In One Year App on Google play store. 

What I love most about the app:

*It is not a full bible (I still have my Amplified Bible App installed on my phone)

*The fact that the daily scriptures come into the App everyday.

*The daily commentary which can be read alongside the Scriptures to provide fresh understanding of the text.

Just a little update from My Bible in One Year Challenge. 

So are you using this App or any other Bible in one year App? Please let me know in the comments!

Love and Light,

Vicky.

READ | REPOSITION | REINVENT.

The first half of the year will be a wrap next month.

And as we already know, this is an unusual year because if you have been feeling comfortable and confident in some areas of your life, what the world is going through now is questioning your comfort and life as we've known it.

A lot of deep reflections are happening on our existing life style, attitudes in general, beliefs, economy, the future of work and faith.

The truth is, this is not a time to still be saying or writing and not doing.

It's not a time to just keep acquiring or absorbing knowledge!

It's a time to exercise knowledge!

It's a time for your knowledge to find expression!

It's not a time for procrastination!

It's not a time to be complacent!

It's a time to stretch ourselves beyond every limitations.

For a lot of people the month of June is a time to re-visit, re-assess, re-evaluate, and re-strategize the goals, plans and visions that they have made for the year. And for Mums it is also a time for decluttering and rearranging and some deep cleaning. 

But like the insertion on my vision board (find out how I prepared my vision board 2020 if you subscribe for all the issues of my online magazine, click on the last image of my gallery section) that says "Stretch Beyond Limitations," I want to do something challenging and unusual for willing Mums.

It's called Read, Reposition, and Reinvent yourself!
