The War Of The Mind & Tounge

So often we get ourselves in trouble because of that unruly tongue. God can change a situation faster than it came about. We just have to allow Him!

I am still learning to believe this.... We can judge circumstances and commit ourself to misery all because we acted on our time frame instead of God's.

Never make decisions when emotions are high. Trust in Jesus. He loves you and you are not alone.

It's not uncommon to say things we don't mean when we are put in stressful situations.

However, when the tides change our words are still out there and we have to live with whatever consequences they have brought.

I am still learning to operate in the spirit and not allow my flesh to pop out!! We are all human and flawed!

*Ephesians 6: 10-12

10. Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Pray the Armor over your life!

Having a daily routine of prayer and consecration with God will give you the tools you need to conquer your flesh!

The greatest war you will ever fight is the war of your mind which is why we must learn to operate in the Spirit! Our mind will lead us to what is not true and if we aren't careful we can allow it to manifest a problem that doesn't exist.

So, back to my original thought.... You don't always know what you see! Think and make sure you KNOW the facts before you speak.

The tricks of our mind can destroy our happiness.

Don't live in misery because you manifest false truths in your mind. I've been there and it's an unhappy way of life!

Seek first the Kingdom! Have a Marvelous Monday!

Fathomless Billows Of Love

On this day 12 years ago I lost my brother. I remember the sound of the voice on the other side of the phone telling us to come to the hospital. I remember being cold. I remember the sounds of the chaos around me. I remember the chair I sat in as I watched my mom try to be strong. I remember so many little details but mainly I remember the giant hole it left in my heart! Nothing can ever separate us from [God's] love . ... I remember singing Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! What does "Fathomless billows of love" even mean Fathomless means something that can't be understood; a billow is like a cloud swelling because of a sudden surge. So...... as many times as I questioned God's presence, his love never failed. It comes in waves and blows into my soul in a way that I can't understand. It soothes just when I can't handle another blow. It embraces me when...

To Be A Pillar

It's easy to be weak but it's hard to be strong! What do you want your life to say about you? "The wise woman builds not only for herself but for those who follow along behind her." -Joy Haney You have to confidently know that God will fulfill every promise he has every made to you & trust that it will happen in his timing. It's when we get impatient and want it our way that we become weak and fall short. God has called each of us to be a servant in his kingdom and sometimes we get caught up and forget its not about me or you! Its always about the kingdom, you can't serve people and bring them to the kingdom without being a people person or without being about His business! If the world can't see Jesus in you and through you why would they want it? Sometimes by being still and silent you are standing tall & speaking loud! It is ignorant and careless to share every thought and opinion that we have. Think before you speak, blog, tweet or text!!...

The Young Minister's Wife, So Harshly Judged

A life lesson I had to learn the hard way was: IT'S OK TO SAY "NO" I am not backslid or a stuck up snob if I can't attend every Ladies Meeting and Youth Event in Georgia. At the stage of life I'm in, I have 2 small boys who need and deserve the majority of my time. Not to mention I am a Pastor's Wife/Music Director. They always come first and that sometimes means I have to decline an invitation. It's unfortunate that it is said "She uses her kids as a crutch" or "She isn't in the altar praying for everyone, she's just in the back socializing" If you could really understand what a Ministers Wife with small children truly has to conquer in order to just be at an event we would give them gold stars and nothing but praise every chance we get. I don't think we should walk on egg shells or take on more than we can handle because we are afraid of what everyone else thinks about us sitting with our children instea...
