Make 1 Break 1 - Week 1 ~ The Anatomy of a Habit

We are so excited to start working on breaking some old BAD habits and starting some good ones!!!!  So many in our Tacking the Temple Facebook group are struggling with staying motivated, staying accountable, and are just plain tired of the insanity!!!  We work out for a week - then not at all, we eat healthy for a day or two, then we binge on ice cream or junk - we lose a few pounds and gain the same few pounds back.  There seems to be no consistency in our habits and we keep running in 'insane' circles.   We all know the definition of Insanity, right!?

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results- Albert Einstein

One of our ladies recommended we read 'Making Good Habits'  by Joyce Meyer together to see if we could get a grip....make some long term life style changes - starting with the one thing that makes a whole lot of sense......YES, by changing our habits!   Joyce says this book will teach us about 14 new behaviors that will energize your life!    I am not sure about you ladies, but I need all the energizing I can get!

On Sundays you will find your weekly assignment right here!  Next week I promise it won't be so late getting posted!   Then, each day one of our awesome leaders will be posting a blog right here that goes along with our reading assignment for that day.  On Day 1 of each week, Leanne is going to provide a reflection verse that goes along with that week's chapter.  What a GREAT way to learn even more bible verses that we can share, reflect upon, and use in our relationship with Jesus Christ and others!  Are you ready to break some habits!?!!?!  Are you ready to build new GOOD ones?  Let's do this!

Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father,  Thank you for the awesome ladies involved with Tacking The Temple - for their love and compassion and their desire to be accountable and helpful to each other.  Father, I pray that as we read and study your Word, our hearts may be soft and grow with a huge desire to break every bad habit, replacing it with new and better ones!  Bless this group, the leaders, and the participants.  May everything we do bring honor and glory to you.  Amen.
