What Did You Just Think? Think Again

  Today has been a difficult day for me.  I have to decide whether or not I can do ministry anymore.  My time and family are being strained, and I have several time sensitive situations that need an answer soon.  I have to decide if I am going back to school full time, working full time, working part-time, or staying my current course.  I've been struggling with feeling sorry for myself and angry that nothing seems to be working like I expected or wanted.  I have been edgy anyway because I haven't been getting my Word like I need it lately. I feel like a beached whale waiting to be gutted.  Thank God that I have hope in Jesus.  I was reading a Joyce Meyer book and she reminded me that in order to change my situation all I have to do is change my mind.  The Word puts it like this "and be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." Romans 12:2.

   I love how whenever I have a problem the solutions come to me! God showed me that I needed to start working out more rigorously in every part of my wellness. I am attacking this lethargy physically as well as psychologically and spiritually to get every part of me going in the right direction. To get your body going in the right direction after your devotion (or during it if you've got those type of skills) try this great and intense work out regime Click Here! . When I exercise I can think more clearly and focus much better. When I am renewing my thinking and working my body, I feel great!  The main thing that I remind myself of is the love that God has for me.
   Do you realize how much God loves all of us?  Romans 8:38-39 says   " For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." If you think that nothing is going right for you, think again. When you think that all hope is gone, think again, and this time institute the positive truth's of the word of God into your life.  If you think that I am staying in this funk for any amount of time, think again. I've got too much to smile about to allow any situation to take my vitality away.

5 things that could keep you from getting so angry

So I find that there are certain things that when done make for a much better day than when I don't do them.  As a single mom sometimes it gets hard to do these and then everything seems to be a bigger ordeal for me. Lord help me to do better with that.  I would tell you don't judge me, but I know you are going to do it anyway so I will say please be gracious toward me.  1.  Start the snowball of positive thinking : For me this means prayers of thanks, reading my Bible, listening to positive music, writing a letter to God or to myself, even watching some Veggie Tales (what do you know about those Veggies?)  with my son sometimes.   The reality is there is enough negative that comes at me; why would I invite anything other than a flood of positive truth into my mind and my life? This is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice and be glad in it...or else!!!  haha just kidding (sort of) 2.  Wash up!: Remember when I said be gracious?...

Mr. Sandman Where are you?

I was told that by 6 months old or so my son should be effectively sleeping through the night. Well, Tomorrow is his first birthday and he has already woken up twice...make that three times because he woke up while I was writing this! I really miss sleeping and I want my little one to get sleep too. He wakes up every two or three hours to nurse. I try to get him to go back to sleep, but a baby who is standing up and pulling on the side of his crib isn't going back to sleep easily. I sing, swing, shush , and attempt to swaddle, but he won't have any of it. Sometimes I let him cry his way back to sleep, but it only last for about a half hour before he reawakens more determined than before. The screaming wears on my nerves and the lack of sleep is wearing on my days. Some days I think "This is it. This is my life now. I will never feel rested again, and I will never be fully alert again." I expected to lose sleep when I found out I was pregnant. I expected to be tired, b...

I have a dream

I used to dream all the time that I was witnessing to people.  People would ask me questions and I would begin to speak about the goodness of the Lord, and how Jesus was the solution to all of their problems or desires.  I feel anointed to be having those dreams again.  Maybe someone needs these words.  I talk about my journey of faith, but maybe you haven't begun that journey yet so let me tell you about Jesus.  Jesus is the Christ, the savior of the world, the messiah, the only begotten son of God.  Jesus is God in humanity. He came down to earth, lived a human life, did miraculous things to show people who he was and how much he loved them.  Jesus felt every human emotion that any of us have ever felt. Jesus taught us how to live as people of God.  Then he died so that we wouldn't have to be separated from him anymore.   You see sin separates us from God because he is holy.  We all have sinned therefore we all should be separated fro...
