Losing Who You Are Trying To Become Someone You Aren’t

November 3, 2018November 3, 2018 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

In measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves to themselves, they lack understanding.
2 Corinthians 10:12

I mentioned in a post recently that I have been teaching a Bible study at my church using the book by Nicki Koziarz Why Her? 6 Truths You Need to Hear When Measuring Up leaves you Falling Behind.

Spending time preparing for the study, as well as spending time with the ladies that attend the study has made a big impact on my life! This book has so many great truths in it. One of the first truths that Nicki shares is “You Need to Be Honest”. Here are a few highlights that made an impression on me.

“Honesty teaches us to stop fearing what we don’t have so we can see what we do.

We often lose who we are while trying to become someone we aren’t.

Honesty can lead us to quiet places where we seek to understand rather than merely react.

You most likely won’t be broadcasting your biggest comparison struggles on Facebook tomorrow. But we all have a place—a place that frequently makes us see ourselves as less-than in comparison to someone else. A place where we feel the most intimidated, perhaps a place that goes back to something deeply rooted in our lives. Something rarely shared because we love to shout our successes but seldom show our secret sorrows.
But the more honest we can become about these areas that threaten our souls the most, the sooner we’ll feel empowered enough to escape this comparison chase. So let’s start by being honest right here, starting with the one verse that uncovered this whole struggle in me. Honesty through the filter of God’s Word brings an understanding that goes beyond our capacity.” WhyHer Nicki Koziarz | lookingjoligood.blog

Love Never Fails

October 31, 2018October 27, 2018 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.
1 Corinthians 13:1‭-‬8

Turning Off the Noise and Getting Quiet

October 27, 2018 LauraJoli LookingJoliGood1 Comment

Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Psalms 46:10

Since around this time last year, I have been teaching a Bible study at my church. It is one of my favorite things to do to serve in my church. Spending time preparing for the study, as well as spending time with the ladies that attend the study has made a big impact on my life!

The last few months we have been doing our study from the book by Nicki Koziarz Why Her? 6 Truths You Need to Hear When Measuring Up leaves you Falling Behind. This book has so many great truths in it. I have learned so much in preparing for the study each week. I love it when God uses different ways to give us just what we need to hear.

“I’m amazed at how much our culture resists quiet. Most of our days are spent managing noise—noise from others, noise from our technology, noise from our inner thoughts.

Sometimes it feels like there’s so much going on in my head that I can’t even hear myself think, let alone hear God. When it seems like God is quiet, we need to get quiet.

When my soul is giving me a clue that it’s not well, even just getting quiet and still for a few moments helps me recognize where I’m struggling.

When it seems like God is quiet, we need to get quiet.”

Ps 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

As I mentioned last week, kickboxing is my favorite type of workout! I love getting an overall body workout in a short amount of time. I have been doing this Fitness blender kickboxing workout all this past week and I love it! I figured that I would share it with you so that you can love it too!

Last week’s Popsugar workout was 45 minutes and this one is only 25 minutes, twenty minutes shorter, yet, still an amazing workout!

If you are a person that needs music to workout with, you will need to add your own soundtrack because this workout doesn’t have any background music with it.

Daniel and Kelli at FitnessBlender have a great YouTub Channel with lots of great free workouts.

What Are Our Bodies Made For?

October 6, 2018 LauraJoli LookingJoliGoodLeave a comment

I love this Facebook post I read by Proverbs 31 Ministries.

You can check out the original post by clicking HERE.

“Do you ever find yourself in a group of women talking about their bodies? Everyone begins sharing what they don’t love or want to change, and it quickly becomes an overwhelming conversation of stirred up negativity.

In moments when we are tempted to feed the temptation to focus on what we don’t like about ourselves, we must remind our minds of truth about the bodies God gave us.

Our bodies are made in the Image of God. (Genesis 1:27)
Our bodies were made to be a living sacrifice. (Romans 12:1)
Our bodies were made for worship. (1 Corinthians 10:31)

Our bodies were not made for the approval of man, but for the glorification of God.

Has this ever been an area in your life that you have struggled with, or may be struggling with now? We would love to pray for you!”
