Take This Book To Work With You

As a method of self improvement, I have been reading and implementing several strategies to improve my confidence. I finished this book last night and highly recommend it to anyone who has trouble asking for what they want. I have been feeling at a standstill in my current position, and decided as a result of reading this book to ask my supervisor for more responsibility. It was a request that was very well received.

I also was called into an unexpected meeting with the CEO of the company and was able to calm my inner nervousness by praying in my head and just moving forward and speaking with confidence. It works!! I just need to continue to practice implement ingthese recommendations; after all, it takes 21 days create a habit.

By the way, I did make it to work safely; the Lord was with me and the roads were salted more than what was originally stated on morning news.

Facing Icy Roads

This morning I am putting my trust in the Lord as I face icy roads on my morning commute to work. Last month, I experienced a potentially bad accident on the freeway as my car spun out eight times. As I nearly hit the medium, I was screaming "Jesus" and at the very last second, He stopped the car. My vehicle was facing the opposite direction, and amazingly, the freeway was empty. I was shaken up for the weekend, but thankful for the reminder that God is truly in control.

God is Good

I have a 45 minute commute to work each morning and prefer to spend that time with the Lord. As I prayed, I could feel my tension releasing and the sickness that I was feeling earlier lifted. God is good.

Pressing On

Today is my second day back to work after Christmas vacation. My stomach is tied in knots and I am feeling ill this morning. My natural inclination is to climb back in bed and stay all day, but I will press forward, trusting that God will take care of me. I am thankful to have a job in this economy as I build my business.

Welcome!

Personal definition of courage: presssing forward despite my fears

Welcome to the world of Courageous Mommy. I am a twenty something year old wife, mommy, full time employee, graduate student, and budding entreprenuer who is committing to utilizing this blog to chronicle my journey to courage.

I am a natural introvert who is happiest spending time alone; it is a daily challenge for me to boldly step out interact with others. In 2009, I am refusing to live my life in fear, or as Joyce Meyers stated in one of her sermons: False Evidene Appearing Real. I will put God first and let him take control. I wll lose 20 pounds this year. I will get out of 50K in credit card debt, and I will create two thriving businesses that will replace my current income.

I welcome you to be a part of my personal journey of courage.
