Many years ago I had said that it would be really nice if someone took all the positive comments in the bible and just made a book out of them. I had even thought of doing it myself. But then I read the verses at the end of Revelations that said some things about what would happen to anyone who added to or took away from those words. At the time, I got scared off.
Fast forward to 2008, I became braver. I made my first rewrite of Proverbs, I called it Affirmational Proverbs. I took three different bibles to get the general meaning/intent, and to the best of my prayerful ability, I re-wrote Proverbs into affirmations. It was a start, but being an avid affirmation user, they still didn’t feel quite right.
Fast forward to 2009, I’m braver now than I was before. I’m rewriting Affirmational Proverbs into Proverbs as Affirmations. They are stronger now, more empowering.
As I started publishing them on Squidoo, I realized the bible as we know it has already been added to and taken away from. So, wow, in that sense, I’m not doing anything that hasn’t already been done, but I am making Proverbs into true affirmations.
There are 31 chapters in all, so there will be a continuing posting until I get all 31 days posted. As of this date, Chapters 1 through 7 are already posted. I hope you enjoy them and find them helpful. I know I do.
Your feedback and comments are welcome too. To start reading Proverbs as Affirmations, go to http://www.squidoo.com/Proverbs-as-Affirmations . I do have plans to also publish them in book form so that you can carry them with you too.
Many blessings to you.
