Review: Prayer Never Fails: Especially During Trials by Berney K. Dorton

I must admit the title of the book sparked my interest in the beginning, but after reading the synopsis I was really looking forward to reading this book. I could not have received this book at a better time. Not to mention, I could relate to many of the tragic events she shared. Therefore, it left me anxious and a little nervous to receive this book because of the many different emotions I was already dealing with.

Prayer Never Fails has 14 Chapters and is an easy and quick read. Although, I would recommend you taking your time and really digesting every scripture and story that is shared.  I found myself reading a few chapters more than once and crying during some. Also, every chapter begins with a scripture mainly taken from the New International Version (NIV).

Often times when we are going through trials we feel like giving up but Mrs. Dorton reminds us to continue to pray and have faith regardless of the circumstances. “Prayer should be our initial response instead of our last-ditch effort.”  She highlights five reasons to pray.

        1.       Pray to confess and confront the sin in our lives.

        2.       Pray to thank God for His blessings.

        3.       Pray to develop intimacy with God.

        4.       Pray for cleansing and restoration.

        5.       The righteous prayers availeth much.

I liked the concept of her using real life stories as examples of different trials she faced to insure the readers they are not alone and she is not exempt. Everyone will go through many different trials in life but with continuous prayer we will make it through.

I believe others could genuinely benefit from reading this book because it will encourage them to continue to pray while going through tough circumstances.

New year
- Mary Fairchild
Instead of making a New Year's resolution
Consider committing to a biblical solution
Your promises are easily broken
Empty words, though earnestly spoken
But God's Word transforms the soul
By His Holy Spirit making you whole
As you spend time alone with Him
He will change you from within!

Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33

 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17

All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. 2 Timothy 3:16

 

Don't Forget Jesus

Don't Forget Jesus


Christmas is a special time
To reflect on Jesus Christ,
The wonder of His lowly birth
Brings meaning to our lives

There really is no other reason,
We celebrate this day,
The birth of God’s precious son
And the life, He willingly gave

But so much seems to distract us
In the busy-ness of our lives,
We lose our focus in all the happenings,
Not knowing, we leave out Christ

We lose sight of the true meaning
As we endlessly rush about
Trying to find that perfect gift,
Seems to cloud our Saviour out

We need to stop and reflect awhile
Remembering our precious Lord,
His birth, His life and sacrifice
And all that He stands for

For though the world may celebrate,
It seems though for other reasons,
Let’s keep in mind that Jesus Christ
Is the true meaning of the season.

ShapelyGirl Fitness Challenge Wrap Up

For the entire month of October I have enjoyed the opportunity to participate in the ShapelyGirl Fitness Challenge. We had to commit to working out the minimum of three days a week. Now it is time for my final review of the Let's Get Moving! Low-Impact DVD.

I am happy to report that I have successfully completed the Challenge. I had a few minor setbacks but I was able to jump back up and get back into the swing of things. I did not let those obstacles get in the way of my goal. The days I was unable to workout I still maintain my healthy eating and water intake.

There was a time when something got in the way of me working out I would not even give it a second thought or it would have taken me what would seem like for ever to start back on my workout routine. NO. I did not do that this time. I have to thank Debra Mazda for that. Her motivation and inspiration is unbelievable.

Debra truly has the passion to see women of all sizes healthy and up moving. She is living proof that you don't have to be a size 2 to be "Fit and Fabulous."
 

"Fitness Comes In Many Sizes"

Debra recommends that you watch the entire Dvd before you begin the workout. This way you will know what to expect as far as the workout routine.

I must admit I am a huge fan of the Pre-Mixes. I am so glad those were included on the Dvds. These are 19 minute workouts for days when time does not allow you to do a full workout. I like working out in the morning time but there were some mornings I just did not feel like it and I did a Pre-Mix and did a full workout in the evening.

I'm not sure why I decided to get the Low-Impact Cardio Dvd. I guess because I hadn't worked out steadily in about a month or so. It's safe to say I was a little afraid I wasn't going to be able to handle anything else I guess. It didn't take long for me to get back to where I was physically and I wanted more as far as working out. So, I had to either do the routine morning and evening or use the Dvd along with another form of fitness.

Overall, I am pleased. I accomplished my goal of getting back on and maintaining my fitness routine and also  increased my energy level.

I would recommend this Dvd because I am still using this.
