I agree with you about not being preachy, and in truth, I was a bit nervous about this post because I'm NOT being preachy, just sharing my thoughts on my shortcomings and wanting to be a better person.<br /><br />I'm glad you stopped by! I love visiting with you!Blithely Bookishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12599750829566818793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5837929919161257558.post-24724127603905287892016-01-01T14:49:22.467-08:002016-01-01T14:49:22.467-08:00Great post!

I give myself 30 minutes before I'll eat a candy bar (because sometimes I'll change my mind). I try to get up more instead of waiting to do several things at one time. I'm not skinny but I'm thinner than I was 10 years ago.<br /><br />My walk with Christ is very important to me too. I try to live my life as a kind person which isn't always easy with how people are. I don't get preachy but if somebody asks, I'll talk about it. A lot of times they're surprised at how religious I am because they don't come across strong Christians who aren't judgey. I do not believe God put me on this earth to tell Him when people are doing something wrong and whether or not they're true believers. God will sort it out, not me. <br /><br />And that publisher's representative doesn't know what they're talking about. Your reviews have influenced my reading, which has influenced people that have followed me, down the line. Your reviews are so detailed, I always feel inadequate when comparing mine, which are about a paragraph most of the time. Just ignore that person because she's made a HUGE mistake. <br /><br />I hope your 2016 is wonderful - God bless!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206269224382126443noreply@blogger.com
