Life Is A Journey

I must admit my thinking hasn't been what it should be. It's a process daily to think and take on the mind of Christ. Good thoughts and bad thoughts come into our minds throughout the day. However its up to us all to fix our minds on the things of God. the Bible confirms to us that "so as a man thinks so is he." If majority of our thoughts are fleshly we are less spiritually minded than we think. Join in this week "Fix Your stinking thinking."

Too many times in life have I allowed worry to control my life. It also is a form of living from a place of fear. Worry hinders us from thinking Christ like, and walking in purpose. God came that we may have life and life more abundantly, join in this week " Worry is a Hindrance".

Recently as I was reading my daily scripture, I received a self check. As we know when we read the word of God it reads us and directs us as well. Allow it to make you better not make you feel like; I can't do this or can't do that. As one person said it, its for you to become who he created you to be. Join in this week "What are You Clothed in?"

Key Scripture/ Colossians 3:12 NIV

We have so many things and people that we are connected to in life, wifi, jobs, our spouse, our children etc. It is important that we remain connected to God, for he is the source of where our help and strength and so much more comes from.

There are so many thoughts that we process daily and honestly the number is outstanding of the thoughts we have on the day to day basis. Some of those thoughts are positive and some negative. As of late I've been processing a lot of thoughts and things in life. What's more important is how we allow God to resonate with our spiritual man to properly filter these thoughts and things that are on our minds. Join in this week " What's On Your Mind??"

This last week has been a bit rough, and to be honest this month is a bitter sweet month for me. Although it's my birthday month, and that I just celebrated my 35th Birthday (TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!) it's not the same. Lost of loved ones and facing adversity is a part of life. But for me I'm learning that God is still right there in the midst of it all. He's working on me and making me and you who he called us to be.
