I am currently re-reading and leading a weekly book discussion on Winning the War in Your Mind by Craig Groeschel. I have been working on my mind-management consistently for about 5 years. I didn’t know that’s what I was doing at first. I didn’t set out to change my thinking. I just knew there had …

let’s change our thinking.
We each have our own set of circumstances in life, our own hardships, troubles, trials, challenges, illnesses, weaknesses, struggles, misfortunes, sadness’s, and our own set of joys, pleasures, happiness’s, blessings, strengths, celebrations, and enjoyments. We get to choose how we think about our lives, about every experience. We determine what the circumstances mean by our …
awareness.
We must realize, understand, and know that negative situations will occur. Know that we will make a mistake. Know that we will fail at times. Know that things will break or not work. Know that we will overreact. Know that things will sometimes not go as we expect or plan. This is all part of …
comparison.
Last week I shared that I had read “we are not judged by how we compare to others” in my daily devotional. So, God is not judging us by how we compare to others. But then I found myself judging me by how I think I compare to others. How quick we are to judge, …
continued thoughts on transformation.

Fruit.
These are some thoughts and questions gathered after I listened to The Eternal Current podcast with Aaron and Shauna Niequist called Good Fruit. I've been thinking about, Jesus' words in John 15..."remain in life-union with me...your life will be fruitless unless you live your life intimately joined to me...as you live in union with me …
Untangled.
If, or really I should say when, we become entangled which will happen because we are human and the Bible tells us we become easily entangled. But God! Thankfully God will provide us with the tools, patience, and determination we need to become untangled if we ask Him and if we are willing to do …
Entangled.
I recently ordered a new bathing suit, a bottom and a tankini top. As I was trying it on the other day, I felt entangled by the top. Even though I ordered my normal size, the Lycra was so tight and the inside well I’ll just say it was complicated. The whole experience of trying …
