Woman Unleashed

Breaking free of centuries of societal roles and learning to stop defining ourselves by the things we DO. God created women as human "be"-ings. When we learn to let go of our control, we free the woman inside our souls, the amazing, gifted woman God created us to BE.

WIN! Becoming the Woman I Want to Be

Becoming the Woman You Want to Be - A 90-Day Journey to Renewing Spirit, Soul, & Body - Donna Partow

As soon as I looked at this book, I knew I wanted to keep it. I need it. It's a daily devotional that takes you step by step through steps that feed your body, soul, and spirit. Each day gives you scriptures to memorize, a passage to read, guided prayer, prayer from your heart, an affirmation to recite, an action to take, an attitude adjustment, a dietary change, and an exercise.

The best part, is that Partow takes you with baby steps through 90 days that will change your life. If it takes 30 days to develop a habit, Partow makes sure that these positive steps become a forever part of your life.

Some of the steps Partow suggests: eat a salad today, bounce five minutes, take a multivitamin, fast today, drink hot lemon water, take a look at people's faces and give a word of encouragement to those who look discouraged. You may think you can do this on your own, but with Partow's words of wisdom, applicable scripture memorization, and attitude adjustment suggestions, you'll come away from these 90 days renewed.

She quotes Charlotte Mason during week 4 of the program. "It is not too much to say that 'habit is ten natures.' We have lost sight of the fact that habit is to life what [railroad tracks] are to [trains]. It follows that lines of habit must be laid down toward given ends and after careful survey, or the joltings and delays of life become insupportable. More, habit is inevitable. If we fail to ease life by laying down habits of right thinking and right acting, habits of wrong thinking and wrong acting fix themselves of their own accord."

When we change our habits we begin changing our lives. In Psalm 51:6, God desires truth on the inward parts. This speaks of truth entering the very core of our being at the deepest level. This takes place when meditating on God's Word becomes a habit--something we choose to do until we find ourselves at a place where we're not comfortable when we don't do it. As meditation becomes our habit, we are changed from glory to glory (2 Cor.3:18).

Terri, I enjoyed browsing your blog, which I linked to from your FCW post. The Donna Partow book looks good, and I especially like the "baby steps" approach. The idea of developing routines and habits changed my life about 4 years ago, thank the Lord!

Terri - I just found your site today - I'm a newbie at TWV2, and I really appreciate your posts. I'm presuming you gave this book away long ago, but I thought this would be a good place to comment since I am a woman in change! I'm going to get a copy of it myself - it sounds like it might be helpful as I transition from a full time executive to a full time mommy/part time writer. God always gives us an adventure!
