Galentine’s Day Movie Tips

Galentine’s Day Movie Tips

I assume you’re here because you’re looking for good Galentine’s Day Movie Tips but it’s funny that you’re coming to me for advice in one way. That’s because I think I’ve been living under a rock somehow and I’m just learned about Galentine’s Day… a little late to the party but I never like to miss a party 🙂 Serious FOMO with this girl.

What to girlfriend’s do, other than eat together? We watch Chick Flick’s, so I decided I would help you with a handy-dandy list of movies girls love. This list doesn’t just come from me, I asked some friends and the girls in the Soul H2O Splash group. Here’s a listing of our favourite movies to watch with Gal Pals. I’ll keep updating this list as I think of more good ones or friends share with me or you share them in the comments and I get to watch them and agree 🙂

Now, here’s the disclaimer, I don’t know your tolerance on movies and for sure movies on this list are not all appropriate for kids, but I’m assuming this is for mature adults.

Galentine’s Day Movie List of Chick Flicks
1. Little Women (2019)
2. Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants
3. Bridesmaid
4. Steel Magnolias (1989)
5. Sleepless In Seattle
6. You’ve God Mail
7. Pretty Woman
8. How To Lose a Guy In 10 Days
9. Sweet Home Alabama
10. Wonder
11. The Other Woman (2014)
You can read about my Galentine’s Day inspired devo and how the original Gal Pal Pack was from the Bible or get some Galentine’s Day Insp for celebrating your favourite girlfriends friends on these posts.

11 Practical Steps to Help You Control Your Thoughts

I published a devotion called, What Are You Thinking About? and felt it needed some practical suggestions to make it complete. So, here are just a few tips you could implement to help keep your thought-life in check.

11 PRACTICAL STEPS TO HELP YOU CONTROL YOUR THOUGHTS
1. Practice Breathing Exercises
2. Decrease Stress In Your Life
3. Eat a Healthy, Balanced Diet of Nutritious Food
4. Decrease Intake of processed, chemically created foods and drinks
5. Read Your Bible to help bring peace and renew your thinking
6. Spend time meditating on God’s Word
7. Put encouraging Scripture verses on cue-cards and strategically place them for easy access and frequent visibility
8. Spend time in prayer, brining your anxious thoughts to Him for help
9. Read Books That can help heal your soul wounds
10. Get Counseling to help heal your soul wounds
11. Talk to your doctor if you’ve done all these things and can’t get control of your thoughts
This list was not meant to condemn you, but to help you.

If controlling your thought life is an issue for you, then begin to work towards getting your soul healthy, so your mind can think right. There are great books to help you heal wounds you’ve experienced to your mind, will, and emotions. I recommend getting counseling because too often you can’t see the hidden things of your hearts and counselors are trained professionals to help you unearth what’s been buried, so it doesn’t keep popping up in your life {usually at the worst times}. If you’ve been working on getting your soul healthy, reading your Bible and praying on a regular basis but you can’t seem to get a handle on your thoughts (the meditations of your heart), then you might be struggling with depression or anxiety, or both.

An inability to control your thoughts is a clinical marker for depression.

I have created a page on my website to help discuss many of these issues. I’m not a health-care professional by any means but have experienced these struggles myself and so do close family members. As a result, I’ve done a lot of research and it’s helping so many people. Click here to explore my mental health page and find resources that might help you, especially the videos at the bottom of the page.

“May the words of my mouth
and
the meditations of my heart
be pleasing to you”

I Hope You’re Having a Great Summer

I hope your summer’s going well. Mine is going amazing! Here’s a picture of Todd and I from our long weekend adventure volunteering and riding in the Hogs For Hospice fundraiser, held in our beautiful town of Leamington. We had soooo much fun! Man I love spending time with this guy!

The break has been just what the doctor ordered. After I wrote the post: I Needed To Fill Up My Well in June, I quickly recognized that a few days rest wasn’t going to be enough for this girl to fill up her well. More time was required to see those levels rise in the reservoir.

But now I feel really bad {Insert pouty face 🙁 } I had every intention to stick to my word and have my Soul H2O devotions to start back up this week after my July Summer Break.

During the break, I decided it was time to switch the host for my websites. It’s one of those things I’ve been putting off for tooooooo long. Because the old host company didn’t make this easy it took longer than it should have. Sadly, I’m stuck in a waiting mode until the transfers are completed. I’m posting this on my website too, but I’m not sure it will stay up. There may be some downtime over the next few days.

To at least whet your whistle for the Word, Look below for some Scripture images I created on the new You Version Bible App‘s app called Bible Lens. It’s so much fun! You just select a picture from your camera roll on your phone and it suggests related scriptures and merges the two into an image. They’re great to put on your phone, computer, tablet or to print out and frame. I imported the Bible Lens images into Canva to add borders and my site name. You should try it out!

Everything will be sorted out in the next few days and I’ll be back for good. As I’ve taken time to rest, God’s given me some clear direction on how to get more refreshing to you. Part of that is my commitment to not overwork and take a Sabbath day EVERY week so I’m refreshed to be a refreshing. I’ve stuck to it for two weeks already Woot! Woot! Who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks 🙂 Over the next few months I’ll be implementing these changes that I pray will bless your life! So get a towel ready, ’cause the water’s gonna flow!

In His Grip,

6 Power-Packed Prayer Meetings In The Bible

I was writing my weekly Soul H₂O Devotion about how God Still Answers Our Prayers and it started getting toooooo long, so I decided to make this another post to just include these incredibly inspiring stories! I’m hoping you’ll possibly use this post as a Bible Study to help increase your faith.

6 Power-Packed Prayer Meetings In The Bible

1. Oh Baby! {Luke 1:5-25}

This corporate prayer meeting (vs. 10) resulted in an angelic visitation followed by the miraculous conception and birth of John the Baptist to a woman past menopause!

2. Gift Received {Acts 1:4-5, 12-15, 2:1-4}

At Jesus ascension, his last words of instruction to his disciples (both men & women) were to stay and pray; waiting for the power of God to come on them to witness through the power that would come from the baptism of the Holy Spirit. And boy did it come! The believers praying in the Upper Room received the baptism and began speaking in tongues, which caused such a stir in the town that it led to Peter began to walk into his destiny and began to preach. About 3000 people got saved that day alone (Acts 2:41) and the church moved forward in boldness and power!

3. Pre-Service Prayer {Acts 3:1-10}

When Peter & John were on their way to prayer meeting (vs.1) they saw a man who couldn’t walk. In boldness, they were used by God to see the man miraculously healed and then Peter spoke boldly and told every there for the prayer meeting about Jesus.

4. A Holy Shaking {Acts 4:12-31}

When Peter & John were brought before the authorities and threatened not to continue preaching about Jesus, the church got together and prayed for boldness to testify more about Jesus. It says that when they prayed the place shook and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and went out to speak the word boldly!

5. Who’s Knocking At The Door? {Acts 12:1-17}

When Peter was thrown into prison, the church began praying at John Mark’s house for him (vs. 3). Miraculously, the angel of the Lord visits Peter in jail and sets him free! Peter’s chains literally fell off when he began to move forward as the angel said. I think this is the only sleep-walking miracle in the Bible (vs.11) 🙂 Peter runs to John Mark’s house where they’re all praying for him and when Rhoda hears Peter’s voice at the door she’s so shocked that she leaves him standing outside waiting while they all argue that it couldn’t be Peter! Oh, I wish we weren’t like this; doubting God’s answers to what we’ve prayed about.

6. Chains Breaking {Acts 16:25-40}

This two-person prison prayer & praise meeting resulted in the miraculous release of Paul and Silas’ from jail. The Bible records that when they prayed together it caused an earthquake that broke open their shackles and those of all the prisoners! How crazy is that! When the Jailer woke up he feared the prisoners had all run away and was going to kill himself before the Romans killed him. Paul calls out and lets him know they were all there. Paul proceeds to boldly witness about Jesus to the jailer whose whole family comes to faith in Christ! Next, the authorities come and personally escort Paul and Silas out of jail and they went straight to Lydia’s house to see the brothers. Could they have been holding a prayer meeting too? We’ll never know until heaven. One of the many questions I’ll be asking up there 🙂

This is just a few of the prayer meetings recorded in the Bible. I hope reading about them has sparked your interest to believe what I said in the Soul H2O Devotion God Still Answers Our Prayers…

Guatemala 2018 Update

Hey Girls! I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing to update you on the Guatemala 2018 Woman’s Project Missions Trip. I can’t tell you how excited I am about it!!!!

If you want to know why I’m passionate about the women in Guatemala, I hope you take a little time and read this article Being A Girl in Guatemala. They’ve gone through unspeakable horrors and continue to live difficult lives. It may just break your heart for them too!

We have donators on board to help bless the women in abundance! Each lady will leave events with a bag full of items that will refresh her in every way. There will be:

A Signed copy of Soul H₂O in Spanish, Toiletry Products (possibly a bottle of perfume each—see below), Hair care Products, Feminine Care products, Candies, treats

…and…anything else you might collect!

Wendy Hagar of Sew on Fire Ministries said her organization can provide creatively designed bags, themed for our events. So cool! The women will love these reusable bags, hand-made with love by Canadian women.

Laci Corso, Co-founder of Scents of The Spirit has committed to help bring in donations of perfume. She’s adding to her amazing product line next month and when she does, she’s putting a pop-up for online purchases that will ask women if they want to donate money towards purchasing perfume for a mom in Guatemala!!! How awesome is that? Donation amounts will decide if each Guatemalan lady receives a bottle, or if we have a set amount for Door Prizes at events. If you haven’t sampled her perfume at one of my events, ‘whatcha been waitin’ fer’??? 🙂 It’s so delish!

My friend; Claudia Raymundo who provides translation services for the Canadian government, has finished translating Soul H₂O into Spanish and we’re working on the publishing and printing of it!!! This is a dream Claudia and I have had for about four years. She knows the hunger in the Latin community for spiritual refreshing resources and is passionate to get my books into the hands of Spanish speaking believers around the globe.

I’m working on jewelry from Goodworks ® Makes A Difference! Final donation amounts will decide if each Guatemalan lady receives a bracelet, or if we have a set amount for Door Prizes at events. I know a bunch of you have purchased some of the Goodworks ® jewelry at my tables and love it! Wouldn’t you just freak out inside wrapping a bracelet around one of their wrists!!!! I know I would 🙂

We’re set to build a home for a single mom and her kids on the trip and meet other needs as they arise…and they always do in Guatemala. We might visit the families who live in the dump, help at the school or build onto the school. Sammy from Possibilities International keeps it exciting!

The excitement is building…details are falling into place…all we need is…YOU!

This is the time where we need you to sign up, so we can properly prepare for the trip. Please reply to this email and let me know if you can make the trip and sign up on the Possibilities International Website.

[imic_button colour=”btn-success” type=”enabled” link=”https://sherrystahl.com/dreams-taking-flight-in-guatemala/” target=”_blank” extraclass=”” size=””]INTERESTED–I Just Need More Info[/imic_button]
