Oh how this bible study speaks right to my heart! Our small group is currently right in the middle of the study, growing together, learning, and loving every minute of it! It has truely opened my eyes to so many things in my personal life, thank you so much for sharing your heart with us within this study.
Thank you for encouraging me to join this study! Love ya hun!
Another habit that speaks directly to me during my current circumstances. It is difficult to move forward and continue doing what I have been called to do at this time. I must follow through with my assignment, despite how I feel. People are depending on me and I must put my feelings aside. Thank you for another great reminder that will encourage me as I work through my current circumstances.
I love this study and love the refresher this celebration has given. You put into words exactly what season I am going through.
I need this playing in my head on repeat. Think I’ll add it to my morning affirmations 🙂 She follows through despite how she feels. She follows through despite how she feels . . . Thanks for another great reminder and word of encouragement! See ya tonight!
This habit means so much to me. This is the area I struggle the most. I couldn’t make it to the FB live last night, but I will tonight!! 🙂
I am very excited to revisit 5 Habits with you! It’s my all time favorite inspiration!!!
I think today’s prize is awesome!!!
Something I want to follow through with despite how I feel is going to the gym more. I was so good about it and then some sickness and injuries put me in a slump now I am finding it harder to get there
I’m being challenged to push through an assignment despite how I feel right now so this is a very timely reminder and I am grateful for it. Looking forward to hearing more on Facebook later.
So glad you are doung this????
I want to get my home organized, even though I feel overwhelmed and worn out!
Right there with you Tennille! It’s so easy to find other things to do (even if it’s a nap!), especially when you find yourself overwhelmed and worn out. God Bless You! <3 You can do this 🙂 (So can I! eeek!)
Something I want to continue to do even when I don’t feel like it is clean eating, exercising and buying local or fair trade. Things that are the best for us are sometimes not easily accessible. We live in a “right here, right now” environment in the USA and although I want to have patience, it can be hard when other things are easier to get to. I’ve had to learn to plan well!
“We live in a “right here, right now” environment” – most definitely! I fall into this all of the time. It’s so easy to go the easy route vs. the one we may have to climb and may take longer. Go Jenn!
I am so happy to be getting a chance to go through this study again this week!!!! As I have said many times this study changed my life! I needed to go through it again as a reminder going into the season of Lent and having surgery in April that I need to keep my focus upwards! It is a daily activity! I will definitely need to remember this step when going through the recovery after I get my knee replaced!
Nicki i must say i did the obs study my first and now i love them leaning so so much from the bible. Im currently re reading your book and taking notes
YAY! Book Birthday Week, day 2! Something I want to follow through despite how I feel is… finishing my “clearing out my house and garage project” so that I can just have this darn garage sale or donate everything. I know, seems silly… just do it, right?! But I lolly-gag with this project every year. I’d rather clean toilets. I realize that it really holds me back and my husband gets frustrated because I can’t put the car in the garage while I’m in the process but I tend to find other things to do instead and soon, I won’t have the weekends open to have a garage sale until July. So…date set. Garage sale or donation by March 11th. (of this year, of course! lol) LOVE #5HabitBook and the biblical tools provided. Thank you for this blessing!
I want to follow through with getting my house rearranged and reorganized!
Follow through my difficult marriage.
Following through when I don’t feel like it is something that I really don’t do well. When I’m tired, frazzled, frustrated, angry, whatever, I just want to throw in the towel. And usually do. There have been times in my life when I have pushed on, no matter what. I’d like to be able to do that all the time.
This is something I’ve had to do over and over again since my mother died in 2014. I’ve struggled so since then. Being her caregiver for the last 5 years of her life, I’ve been at a loss as to what to do and who I am. My whole life changed. There have been so many days I’ve just wanted to stay in bed with the covers over my head. But God!! Thankful that He has given me the strength to keep going and find joy and purpose in my life again. I still have my days, but I hang onto Him as He gently guides me through my day.
Bless you Debbie Brewer! Losing a loved one is very hard, I don’t know how *you* feel but I completely understand your struggle. <3
I want to follow through with my plans for Lent, as opposed to quitting about halfway though as in previous years.
Oh perfect timing for this post! My husband and I will be going through a major financial change starting in the next month or so. And I’m having a very hard time seeing how we will do it. So any encouragement about pushing through without saying “No I can’t do that!” would be great. I would love to have this book, but can’t afford to buy it right now! So just reading these posts and other people’s comments do help some.
This habit is one that God is always working on with me. I am such an emotional person. So, I really have to constantly try to keep myself focused on Christ, and how He would have me react to situations, instead of using my feelings. My feelings can talk me out of lots of things. Have a great day!
I want to follow through with my ministry! If though I feel in worthy to minister to other women.
Happy birthday to your book!! I absolutely LOVED reading it! It was as if I was hanging out with you! #awesomesauce
Can’t wait to get my hands on your new book when it releases!!
Wow: such a reminder to me today! Thanks for your powerful book.
I’m thoroughly enjoying this study! God is speaking directly to my heart and within my circumstances. Thank you for your obedience in writing this book and study. 🙂
I want to follow through with healthy eating and exercise! Even when I don’t feel like it!
Thank you for this post…it is a great reminder in many areas of my life!
I want to follow through no matter how I feel with my daily God time. There are times mornings get so crazy that I don’t get to spend as much time as I would like. Then by the afternoon or end of the day I’m so tired I don’t think I’ll get much out of my time. But I know I always get more out of doing it than not doing it.
I am loving this bible study! I’m currently doing this study and it is amazing. I never realized how much of a quitter I really am, or at least I never put that title to it. I have a lot of past hurts to work through and this study and the fellowship it is creating with some pretty amazing women in my church, is helping me take the steps needed to get past this and be a “Ruth” woman!
Today, I am currently struggling with the huge pile of dishes and laundry that NEED to be done and I don’t FEEL like doing them. But I’m gonna plug away at them. Also, struggling with wanting to cancel my counseling appointment… but I’m gonna go. Because I am a woman who doesn’t quit!
Thank you for teaching me this, Nicki! You’re amazing ????
I’m NOT quitting on my health and fitness program. Pushing it off and yes, laying in bed at 5am coming up with some really great excuses why not to go to the gym, but I’m not a quitter anymore!
Caught your replay from last night. I live in S America and with th time change it was too late. I’m so excited I get to catch you live tonight, it’s earlier!!!
Nicki you are so inspiring to me. You make me feel as if I’m not alone in my failings and I don’t have to quit altogether even though I try and fail . I am struggling with smoking, even though I know I need to give it up for my health, I pray for His strength and it works for awhile then I FAIL. I keep trying and keep talking to Jesus.
I am so excited to be revisiting this book! Once is not enough.
There are a couple of things I would like to complete this year. I want to declutter my whole house and I want to read the bible in one year. I’m off to a good start, but it hasn’t been easy. Sometimes I get too tired or overwhelmed.
I want to follow through with First5 every single morning, first thing upon waking. I also want to follow through with opening my bible daily and studying God’s word… especially on those days when I don’t feel like it, or when I feel too busy with other things, or have constant interruptions. I want these things to be my first priorities.
I want to follow through with making my health a priority again. There are always things I would rather be doing than exercise and it’s so tempting to just eat what everyone else is eating if it looks better than what’s on my plate 🙂 but I’m determined not to quit despite how I feel!
This year I will read through the entire bible – I won’t quit this time! 🙂
I am so thankful for this right now. I have been so tempted to quit in a couple areas of my life. The Lord encourages and pushes us on when we need it most.
Nicki, I began this study a while ago and how ironic that given the name of the study, I never finished. My grandson became ill and… I saved every email from the OBS and am inspired to begin again… God bless!
I have a whole long list of things it seems like of things I can do even though I don’t feel like it. Like exercising, eating better, organizing, cleaning the house, spending time with God, praying etc.
Have loved this book and am excited about the prizes!
Something I need to follow through with despite how I feel is minimizing in my house. We have too much stuff, and I know it will be worth is to get rid of some (or a lot) of it. It’s hard to get started, though! Maybe this refresher in the 5 Habits is just what I need to get me going!
I love and truly enjoyed this book. It helped me out in so many ways, its definitely a book I will keep going back to. I have been slacking a lot of many of things that I vowed not to quit on, so here I am ready to start again!!
Losing weight and having healthy habits.
Some days it’s so tempting to just give up, but I do my best to push through to the end. I’m better at that if others are expecting it or I have committed to others. If its something just for me, I tend to give up at times
Enjoyed your FB live last night and look forward to today’s FB live video! Love the giveaway today! Would love to win it!
Love this study Nicki! I look back at my notes often when I feel like quitting!! 🙂
Following through when I don’t feel like it has to be the hardest habit for me. My emotions really dictate my actions much more often than I would like to admit.
I love this study! It has stuck with me more than most other studies – and I average 3 studies at a time! Thank you Nicki!!
I love the journaling bibles and am enjoying this refresher at this season of my life
I hardly know where to begin with today’s topic for comments! The first thing that came to mind was staying on top of the folding and ironing of laundry, so I guess I’ll go with that.
I’m trying to push through staying committed to my bible study. The 5 habits study was the first study that I actually completed all the way! I’m finishing up the I AM Study now. I’m about a week behind but still keeping it part of my daily routine even if it’s only 2 minutes of reading.!
Happy to be doing this!!, Thanks, Nicki!! 🙂 Can’t wait to get a book!!! 🙂
Such a blessing to be revisiting this study!! It had such an impact on my life, then and now!
It takes follow through to get things done and it shows a person is a person of honor and integrity when they follow through. I want to be a woman of integrity who honors God.
I’m so very grateful that you wrote this book, and I’m excited to be hearing some of the Bible Study. I’m currently in a Bible study via Periscope and we are working through this book (we’re almost done with it). It is edifying, encouraging, insightful truly a wonderfully, albeit challenging book. Thank you NIcki!
I want to follow through with my initial goal in moving towards health, wholeness and freedom. I want to lose approximately 36 more pounds to have achieved a 50% TOTAL body weight loss (down 142 pounds).
I want to love God with all of my heart, soul, mind, and strength-even when I feel distracted or pulled down by the world. I want to love God before myself, my husband, my children so that I can give love them like Christ.
Something I want to follow through with despite how I feel… I would like to be a college graduate. School was hard for me growing up. I want to push through till the end and not quit. I will finish college despite how I feel.
Wow, this is so exciting, Nicki! The Bible looks so cool!
I never thought I would be going through an assignment of refinement like the one I’m going through now, but I know God has a plan and I need to get up every day and remind myself of that.
As far as following through with something, I think I need to pray for strength to use wisdom in my relationship decisions in the future…despite how I “feel”.
Habit Two, She follows through despite how she feels brought me the most freedom. So grateful to revisit these valuable lessons this week!
I plan to follow through on losing weight and reaching my goal weight of 135 lbs by the end of this year.
I have always felt it is important to follow through. I never want to be known as someone you can’t count on – not with other people or with God.
Amen! When I do what God calls me to, even if I don’t want to, there is such blessing!
I so badly want to follow through on many things, but I get lazy. I want to become someone who does not quit.
My word for the year is focus and I want to spend more time focusing on what God wants me to focus on vs what I want to focus on.
Today I am feeling led to write out some prayers, and this is not something I normally do.
These are such awesome giveaways. Thank you!
Something I want to follow through with despite how I feel is my daily quiet time with God. I get overwhelmed at times and sometimes give up when I get tired or distracted. I am doing better than I used to, though!
<3! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! Thank you!
Thank you for the give aways Nicki! Working on several things. Consistency in my Daily Bible reading, drinking more water and doing better on my food choices for my health, and working on some things for my husband.
So glad to have caught your Facebook Live event today when I came out of the grocery store! Haven’t been feelin’ it today! Thanks for the encouragement!
Love the book!!
Loving this review! Working on getting healthier (better eating and more sleep, water, & exercise)
Love this party. Could use some Journaling and coloring tools for study and serenity
Needed to hear this!
This was a life changing book for me, and one that I got all the way through when we studied it!
I am working on increasing activity and making healthier food choices to feel healthier and drawing closer to God through daily prayer and Bible readings. Thank you for the book and for this celebration reminding us of these powerful tools.
I need this refresher on 5 Habits in my life right now. Grief has me feeling crushed and overwhelmed and wanting to quit but Im reminded that I need to keep going day by day no matter how I feel. I can do this.
Working through these habits that I need to change is so good for me right now. I also think I’ll need to keep these in practice for the rest of my life. Im finding myself meditating on these habits that I need to change and I have hope for positive change in me.
Feelings get us into trouble in so many ways! We have to make conscious decisions and follow through.
Thank you for your video’s and post I love to listen to you and read your books, because I really feel like you are the kind of lady that I could just feel at home to talk to about things that I needed to, and even thought you know a lot you wouldn’t make me feel (dumb or stupid) about anything that I didn’t understand or needed to know Thank you and glad I found you and God Bless you
This refresher of the 5 Habits has come at the right time!! Thank you Nicki!!!
I have a habit of quitting; I get tired. I always start off well then the procrastination sets in and then at the eleventh hour I will get back in gear. Five Habits has been a big benefit to me for so many reasons and it’s a pleasure to be celebrating a first birthday with all of you!
I still can’t believe this book is celebrating its 1st birthday!!
I’m enjoying going back through all of this goodness and opening my book back up and seeing everything highlighted, starred, circled, underlined!!
I took away so many nuggets of wisdom from your book, Nicki.
Thank you!!!
I want to continue pushing myself in my struggle with agoraphobia even though I really don’t WANT to because it’s hard, scary and feels hopeless.
Homeschooling!! I want to keep giving my best to my family even though some days I don’t feel like it. God help me!! I love them and thank you for where you have me ❤
Loved Facebook live today! Thank you Nicki!
“She follows through despite how she feels!”
Oh how this hits home with me. Following through on some commitments can be so trying, when in all reality, it would be so much easier to just give up! In my younger days before I even knew Jesus, this was me! If it was too hard, took too much time, or inconvenienced my life in any way, BAM! I would be done, turn from it, walk away and never give it another thought. Not even considering who I might be letting down. This issue was one of the first things that God convicted me of when I became a Christian. I’m so glad He taught me how to follow through! This was one of my favorite chapters when we done the #5Habits study through #P31OBS!
There have been several areas of my life that I have been following through despite how I have felt. It hasn’t always been easy, but I’m coming out on the other side and as a result of following through, there will be no regrets. Now if I could just follow through with finishing the decluttering of our home. 🙂
This book has been an amazing journey. I am going to open my small business been putting off for over a year. i will continue on with it despite how I feel.
I so need this book!! Love your Fb live videos!!
I recently purchased the book Praying for Your Husband from Head to Toe by Sharon Jaynes. I would like to continue to pray scripture based prayers that cover him everyday.
I guess I am kind of OCD about follow through. I never want to be known as someone who doesn’t follow through. It was ingrained in me in my job and just carried through my entire life.
I working on following through with my weight loss.
The Five Habits birthday videos are such a blessing. I really needed this! I’m going to have to re-read the book!!
Thankful for this study; I never realized some of the things I’d given up were really “Quit”. Lots of learning to do and wisdom to gain from this! Looking forward to His work!
I have listened to the audio version of this book more than once and will probably revisit it over and over again. Will always be a recovering quitter I suppose! I am reading the whole bible this year with a bible plan and am trying to stay up to date with the daily reading as well as working on healthy eating and exercising–despite how I feel!
Oh this is hard to do! Thank you for the encouragement!
I love the idea of a journaling Bible! I don’t know why I don’t just buy one but, I never do. That would be amazing!
5 Habits is such an amazing study! I’m looking forward to listening to your teachings Nicki!!
