Don't miss, “Your Words Are Powerful Be Careful What You Speak: Encouragement for 365 Days” by Suzi Yelvington!

 

“Your Words Are Powerful Be Careful What You Speak: Encouragement for 365 Days”

by Suzi Yelvington uses the scripture, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, speak life,” (Proverbs 18:21) in a powerful way.

 

I’ve told many people, read your Bible and read Suzi Yelvington. I think I have nearly all her books now, and I treasure each one. I’ve given always countless books so that I can feel like I am on the “same page” with those I love, as each day, we are reading the same book.

 

Woven between life experiences, Suzi speaks common sense ways of living and loving to us each day. You would think these were written by a much older woman, but she has beautifully learned wisdom young, because I believe, God knew she wouldn’t waste one gift that He gave her. There were so very many one sentence quotes that got me, or became words that I passed on, or just powerful words that I could hold on to.

This is a long overdue review. I want Suzi to know how much I appreciate her faithfulness to the Lord, our God. Although I am much older than she is, I recognize the gifts and knowledge within her and I am blessed every time I open a page of “Your Words Are Powerful Be Careful What You Speak! “

 

Here are just a few powerful quotes:

 

 Do not let what you see happening allow you forget the promises of God.”

 

“Declare: Today I am going to make everything around me beautiful, this will be my life.”

“The Lord hears his people when they call. I depend on God alone.”

“When it’s not in God’s plan, you cannot force it. But when it is in the plan of God nothing can stop it.”

And this might be my favorite quote: “Let God put you back together right in front of the ones that broke you. You are somebody’s blessing.”

 

In the years that I’ve been following Suzi Yelvington on Facebook, I’ve become more aware of my words. It seems, at times, that I’ve become quieter, as the message has sunk deep within my soul. But hopefully, also when I speak it will be with words of life. I truly recommend this book and all other books that Suzi has written. It makes me happy to say Suzi is local to the Daytona Beach area and is also a speaker.

Proverbs 18:2: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, speak life.

Love is a Verb Devotional and Winning Women Retreat

It was so cool to get my contributor's copy of:
Love is a Verb Devotional: 365 Daily Inspirations to Bring Love Alive [Hardcover] Gary Chapman (Author), James Stuart Bell (Author) I was honored to be included with so many others, including one of my favorite editors, Jeanette Gardner Littleton.

I will be leaving for GA in the morning to take part in a Winning Women for Christ Retreat. Here is part of my mini-session where I mention our somebody's Mother Online Prayer Support Group in “Dancing Through the Minefields of Life.” It is part testimony/part Bible Study:

As a family member we may feel like our problems are the worst ones anyone faces. The pain that our heart feels would indicate that, “Yes, they are the worst, no one knows what I am going through!” On the "Somebody’s Mother Online Prayer Support Group" we get letters every day of people crying out with so many problems. People in pain either in their body or their minds as they wrestle with family issues. So many of them deal with addictions and the addicts in their lives. Yet the family pain of your own children’s problems, even adult children, when they go through divorce, addictions and heartache can be overwhelming. As a parent you may want to shield them especially when you see your grandchildren hurting as a result; it is a most difficult dilemma.

Sometimes we feel like saying, "God take me, now, I can't bear it any longer!" or even better, "Come quickly Lord Jesus!" as Revelation 22:20-21 says: "He which testifies these things said, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus."

We have to put our loved ones Into His hands today and Pray (which is the #1 step) to be able to dance the dance of the survivor. The survivor dance might be likened to “The Stomp.

When Someone You Love No Longer Remembers

Cecil Murphey has written a beautiful book for family and caretakers of those with dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease. It truly is a gift book that you will want to put into anyone’s hands that may be facing these situations.
Beautifully illustrated by Michal Sparks, the artwork was amazing and I could picture it as a book to leave out at condos.


You can use this book as a daily devotional as I had started to do or just pick it up and read it whenever needed. After starting it, the stories gripped me and I wanted to devour the book and find the words of comfort and get them inside me.


As someone who has known several family members and friends diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease, I so wish this book had been written sooner.


Knowing the genetics link that is in my family can be a scary thing and I hope that the good ideas, hope and healing of the words will bring comfort to many people.


The Appendix, with helps like Take Care of Yourself, Communicating with Your Loved One, Expecting the Unexpected, and Help Your Visitors was a wealth of information that we all need.


I think you should do a sequel, Cecil, as there are a lot more stories out there, and perhaps do it as a daily devotional. Every family needs a copy of this gift book!
