Y'all know I try to

live intentionally - 
Joyful Surrender – 7 Disciplines for the Believer’s Life 
 – by Elisabeth Elliot was recently re-released by Revell 
[a division of Baker Publishing Group] in April. 
Elisabeth Elliot was a former missionary and popular writer prior to her death in 2015 
and this book , while originally published in 1982, is timeless
 in its encouragement to believers – 
She speaks to having discipline in regard to the 
body, the mind, place, time, possessions, work, and feelings…
Some of my favorite parts are:  We should be intentional in how we treat our bodies – what we put in, how much we let it rest, and what activities we pursue to maintain health because our bodies [our SELVES] should be given to God daily for His purpose – 
So we want it to be the best gift we can give - and  
“A simple and orderly life represents a clean and orderly mind.” 
In our meditation we should set our mind on Christ and all the good He brings to this world.
These areas where God is consistently working with me - 
so I loved reading new and encouraging thoughts on the subjects.
Note: I received a copy of this book from the publisher for review purposes. 
All opinions are my own.
