What book are you reading right now?
There’s something about having multiple books cracked open at the same time that makes me feel like I’m sitting in a living room full of mentors. Each one offering a different angle, a different temperature of truth, a different nudge toward the person I’m becoming. So when people ask me what I’m reading right now, the real answer is… more than one. Always more than one.
Two of the books holding me lately are Vibrate Higher Daily and The Big Book of Quotes. Between those pages, I feel both shaken awake and deeply reassured. It’s like having God whisper through one page, challenge me through another, then pat me on the shoulder with a reminder that growth isn’t always gentle, but it’s always worth it.
As I read, I keep thinking of that line in Proverbs where it says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” That’s the whole spirit of Vibrate Higher Daily. Protect your inner world so your outer world doesn’t swallow you. And honestly, that’s a discipline I’m still training for.
The Books Teaching Me In This Season
1. Vibrate Higher Daily — Lalah Delia
This book isn’t fluffy inspiration. It’s a recalibration manual. Lalah Delia writes with conviction, reminding you that alignment isn’t optional if you want peace. One of my favorite lines so far is her reminder that “Your energy introduces you before you even speak.” Reading that made me pause, because it echoed Jesus’s words in Matthew 5 where He says that we are the light of the world and that a city on a hill cannot be hidden. Light speaks before language. So does energy. And both are powerful.
This book has me paying attention to my rhythms. My reactions. My soul posture. And on the days when the world tries to drain me before noon, I find myself flipping to a random page for a spiritual boost.
2. The Big Book of Quotes
This one is more like a treasure chest. I open it when I need perspective, challenge, or just someone wiser than me to remind me that I’m a work in progress. It’s a mix of philosophers, thinkers, poets, people who lived boldly and thought deeply.
I came across a line by Anaïs Nin that struck me: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” That felt timely. Between writing my books, building my creative life, and growing spiritually, courage isn’t a luxury. It’s the assignment. And it reminds me of Joshua 1:9, where God literally commands us to be strong and courageous because He is with us wherever we go.
Sometimes a quote becomes a mirror. Other times a map. This book gives me both.
Why These Books Matter In This Season
I’m in a chapter of my life where I’m pruning old stories, realigning my habits, and becoming more intentional with the kind of woman I’m growing into. Books like these catch me mid-thought, mid-doubt, mid-transition and gently say, “Let God finish the work.”
Paul writes in Philippians that “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion.” That scripture rests differently when you’re in the middle of the uncomfortable stretch. These books are helping me make peace with the stretch.
And maybe that’s why I gravitate toward this type of reading. They don’t just entertain. They sharpen me. They challenge the complacency out of me. They pull me closer to the life God keeps nudging me toward.
Soul Insights
1. Your inner world must be tended before your outer world can thrive.
Reading Vibrate Higher Daily made me realize how easy it is to let life pull you in every direction except upward. When your soul is unsettled, everything feels heavier. When you steward what’s internal, clarity returns. And when clarity returns, you walk differently. You decide differently. You speak with intention.
2. Strength is cultivated through awareness, not avoidance.
Both books remind me that honesty with myself is the starting line of transformation. You cannot fix what you refuse to acknowledge. Awareness is not weakness. Avoidance is. When I lean into the hard truth, God meets me there with unexpected peace and direction.
3. Inspiration is a daily discipline, not a random spark.
It’s easy to wait for motivation, but these books show me that inspiration is something you choose by feeding your mind with better thoughts. When you read daily, you’re not just consuming words; you’re shaping your mindset. A strong mindset is built one page at a time.
4. Courage grows when you let wisdom challenge your comfort zone.
That Anaïs Nin quote lingered with me because courage doesn’t arrive ready-made. It grows every time you choose expansion over safety. Books that make you uncomfortable often become the ones that change you the most. Courage starts internally long before anything externally shifts.
5. Your spiritual growth will always reflect what you’re consuming.
Scripture, quotes, and soul-centered books create a different atmosphere within you. They shift your prayers, your expectations, your reactions, and the way you show up in the world. What you read is quietly shaping who you’re becoming. And that’s responsibility worth honoring.
Final Thoughts
Books come to you in the season you’re meant to grow through. These two remind me that elevation doesn’t happen by accident. It’s a daily choice. A surrendered choice. A faith-filled choice.
If you’re feeling stuck, stagnant, or spiritually out of alignment, pick up something that challenges the dullness out of your spirit. Let wisdom rearrange your thinking. Let truth build you. Let God anchor you.
