Book Description
Are you tired of living with the stress of an overwhelmed schedule and aching with the sadness of an underwhelmed soul? Do you find yourself unable to say no even when you should? Are you stuck under the weight of endless demands and responsibilities? The good news is: it doesn't have to be this way. In The Best Yes, New York Times bestselling author Lysa TerKeurst guides you through the insightful lessons she's learned about what it means to live out the purpose that God has in store for you. Lysa demonstrates the incredible power of two words--yes and no--and the way that these simple, daily decisions can shape the story of our lives. Lysa has learned firsthand that there's a big difference between saying yes to everyone and saying yes to God. Drawing from applicable scriptures and her own personal experiences, Lysa teaches us that if we know and believe that God has a plan for each of us, we'll live it out--serving as living proof of His never-ending grace and kindness. Throughout The Best Yes, Lysa will give you the practical tools you need to: Stop people-pleasing by embracing a biblical understanding of love Escape the guilt of disappointing others by learning the secret of the small no Overcome the agony of hard choices by grounding your decisions in wisdom Grow closer to God as you sharpen your own discernment Learn to be intentional with your time, your choices, and yourself Incorporate the Best Yes as a filter for your daily decision making If we take time to slow down and rise above the rush of the world's endless demands, we can rest assured that God's wisdom will help us make decisions that will still be good tomorrow. No matter what season of life you find yourself in, you deserve the chance to make decisions that bring out the best you.

A Good Idea at the Time

Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
AVA It seemed like a good idea at the time. I'd met Jasmina at an old school friend's wedding a couple of months ago. I happened to be sitting with Al, who'd been my boyfriend at the time, at the same table as she and her husband, Nick. At some point during the evening I'd mentioned that I did some house sitting along with temping as a PA. Then, a few weeks later she'd phoned me and asked if I'd be available to house sit for them for a month. Her husband was to be best man at a friend's wedding in Mauritius and they'd decided that they'd like to make a big holiday of it at the same time. It couldn't have come at a better time seeing that I was 'between boyfriends' (I'd discovered that Al was married, a small detail he'd failed to mention before). I was 'between homes', seeing that my landlord had given me two months' notice to vacate on account of he was selling up, and 'between jobs', because the girl I'd been doing maternity cover for had decided that she'd rather return to work early and put up with a hot-tempered boss everyday than a wailing baby. So, of course, I'd bitten their hands off; it would give me some breathing space and time to re-coup and anyway, what wouldn't be to like about living in a chocolate box cottage in the middle of the countryside for a month, not only rent free but getting paid for it too? I'd be a fool not to, wouldn't I? So okay, maybe I should have asked more about it and maybe I should have listened when she had told me that it wouldn't be just a straightforward house sit. But no, I'd been my usual impulsive self and I'd not asked any questions apart from when and how much. So here I was, up to my knees in mud, my armpits in vegetables and I'd better not even mention the chickens, dogs and goats, let alone the drop dead sexy guy from next door who always seemed to turn up at the wrong time.LUKEOkay, I'm not normally the nosey kind, I promise, but I didn't think I'd ever been so curious about anyone; I just couldn't make out my new temporary neighbour. She was like an incredibly sexy calamity Jane in a dishevelled, fiery sort of way that made me laugh one minute and horny the next. And her long blonde hair that she kept clipped up in a tangled mess on top of her head just cried out to be released and tamed into submission, and I wanted to be the one to do it.To be honest, she couldn't have arrived at a worse time because I was just in the process of starting my new architectural business, working from home, because after ten years I'd decided to line my own pockets instead of my ex-partner's, David. We'd come to blows for the last time about six months ago about my over loaded client list compared to his; all the while splitting everything fifty-fifty. He favoured golf, expensive lunches, long holidays, having more women that I'd care to count and doing as little work as possible. So I'd decided that I'd had enough and was going to go it on my own, taking my contacts with me. But I hadn't bargained for the distraction of this wild female next door, who'd arrived at my neighbour's cottage and looked as gorgeous in mud caked wellies as in strappy stilettos.I'll be honest, we hadn't got off to a good start and I was trying to make amends, but each time something happened and I invariably ended up looking like a prized prat. I knew that she wouldn't be here in the village for long and the best thing for me to do would be to keep my head down and ignore the draw she had on me. I needed to focus on my business, because this was my livelihood, but every time I tried, something would happen and I'd be either making a fool out of myself or making a fool out of her. So, I reckoned that all I needed to do was keep my head down and to focus on my work instead of her. How hard could it be?
