On a lighter note, curiosity about God

My curiosity about God started at a young age. My parents went away for about a week and my sister and I stayed with an aunt and uncle that lived in the area.

That particular aunt and uncle were very religious and we had to gather around and do nightly prayers as a group. All of us kids were gathered around on the floor, with our heads bowed, as my uncle stood and prayed to God.

At one point, my uncle said, "And may God look down upon us."

Well curious minds want to know, right. So right after he said those words, I looked up to see if God was looking down on us, and also to see what God looked like.

Up on the top of their tall bookshelf was their cat looking down on us. If you know me, then you know that I love cats! I almost laughed out loud as I wondered - Is God a cat!

Luckily I held back my laughter; I don't think my uncle would have approved! I don't recall anything else he said that night. I would like to think though that I must have also thought, that at least God has a since of humor, and must also love cats. But that is more of my adult mind thoughts; back then I was just enthralled and happy to see their cat as God.

If it's Saturday when you're reading this, then happy Saturday Caturday to you!

Proverbs as Affirmations Portable Book

If you are wanting a more portable version of Proverbs as Affirmations, it is now available.

This book still has the same spiritual affirmations, but without the lines. You are still welcome to write the affirmations for your own personal use, to help in reinforcing them; you will just need a separate journal type book if you choose to write them.

If you want the option with lines already as part of the book, the 8-1/2 by 11 inch version is also available.

Both versions of Proverbs as Affirmations are ready for purchase on Amazon. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Proverbs As Affirmations Two New Book Ideas

I have two ideas for creating new versions of Proverbs As Affirmations.

Idea 1:

The first one, that I've already started, is to have a smaller book, which will be 6 by 9 inches, that people can more easily carry with them. It can also be used for groups, making it easier to read from, and not used as a journal. There will be no lines. I can see it being used by individuals who just want the text, and also in new thought churches and groups that are wanting to easily follow along with other readers.

Update: I completed this book and it is now posted below.

Idea 2:

For my other idea, I thought about including a section in the back of the book that has categories. For instance, there would be a chapter for Eating. It would include all the affirmations throughout the original Proverbs As Affirmations that are about eating. Another chapter category would be Relationships; it would include all the affirmations throughout that are about relationships, etc.

This book would not include lines, to keep it a reasonable size.

I have found it helpful to use affirmations that are more related, together, rather than spread out, as they are in the original book. Would this be helpful to you?

Would you like to have lines to copy those affirmations for added reinforcement? Throughtout the whole book, or just in the category section? If so, it would probably be in the 8-1/2 by 11 inch size.

I welcome your input, so that I can make the best book(s) that like.

Please comment below. Order your own copy of the current Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

We are creators

I had said in my previous post that Proverbs as Affirmations wasn't an end all book for me, but that it gave me permission to start using affirmations again. It turned out to be a transition book. It gave me a way to grow my relationship with God, the Universe. Using these affirmations have led me to other books, people, and more of my own intuitive thoughts to help strengthen my path.

By having affirmations that were biblically based, Proverbs as Affirmations, gave me a way to fine tune my own personal affirmations to better enhance my life. It helped to erase doubt and build belief.

That is why lines are provided after each affirmation. You can write the affirmations as they are written in the book, or you can fine tune any of them to for your own individual desires. I.e., not everyone wants to get married, or become parents. You do have choice.

Everyone is already creating with God, through every thought that we think. We are already praying without ceasing, without being aware.

So lets cultivate good thoughts, which in turn, can help us to create the lives that we like.

God is not out there some place wanting us to beg and plead. That is what I was raised to believe. I have come to find out that the kingdom of God is within each and every one of us. We are already connected to God.

As the Bible says, we are created in God's image, and ye all are Gods. Therefore, we are creators. We are co-creating with God all the time.

Repetition is helpful. I have read this book numerous times, and each time, my spiritual learning has been enhanced.


May you be blessed with creating more of the life that you would like to have. Find guidance of integrity in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.

Give yourself permission to create

When I first started the process of transforming the verses of Proverbs into affirmations, I had wanted it to be an end all book. One that I could read and use and have everything fall perfectly into place.

As it turned out, it wasn't that kind of book at all; at least not for me. It turned out to be a book that gave me permission to use affirmations again, and with God's blessings.

There are many character building tips to use along the way: to be kinder, to bless, to believe in possibilities, and to know that the good that I sought was all okay with God. And that was important to me.

That had been my search, to do what was in line with what God wanted me to do. And with this book, that is what I found.

May your search and learning be easier than mine. Read more thoughts of transformation in Proverbs as Affirmations. The highlighted text links below the picture will take you to Amazon.
