Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going to eat you?


     Sometimes it is easy to let our thoughts go wild. Our mind is like a playground to the Devil.  If we let Him,  he will rule our thoughts.  Our thoughts must be under control at all times.  Everyone has their own way of dealing with these "racing thoughts," as some call them.  These racing thoughts make you feel so tired when we let them loose. Which brings me to the central question, " Do you ever feel like your thoughts are going to eat you? Well, do you? What do you do about the situation?
Do you go walking, or pick up a good book to read, or put on a good song? What helps you to centralize your thoughts when they go crazy? Am I the only one that ever has a bad day?
      If we do not control our thoughts they eventually will eat us because whatever is in our hearts will eventually come out our mouths.  The tongue is something that is very difficult to keep under control to begin with, so we must keep our thoughts at all times. For me walking is the a best therapy to ease my poor little busy mind.   It will keep on going if I do not let it rest and focus on the good things of life.  Positivity is key when you have goals to reach.  Do not let anyone tell say you can not catch your dreams if you know it is within arms reach.
    There is however, a difference in dreaming and reality.  We must not let our minds focus on merely just the dreams because they only exist in our minds. Reality is something we face on an every day basis so that must be the first question we ask ourselves.  These "racing thoughts" must be overcome with some tender loving care and we must be the ones to take the first step  After determine whether the goal is reachable or not, we must decide what triggers these negative thoughts to kick in and destroy our positivity!
      For some, these thoughts come as a thief in the night, out of nowhere because we have fear or worry that builds up over time.  Digging down to the root of the problem is a terrible process but must be done. The Devil knows how to wear us down and He will use any tool to try to get us where He wants us. We must always remember that God has already won the war and there is nothing that the ole Devil can really do.
      So I am really trying to focus on things I can do well and things that give praise to God.  There will always be trials and temptations, but it is up to us to overcome them. Keeping our minds busy is always one thing that we can do to keep the Devil away. That is the most important thing that we can do.  Thinking on things above is what God commanded us to do cause He knew that each one of us would have our own special tasks.  #22q#beblessed#giveGodglory



     Phillipians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Motivational Monday

Think of ten things that you don't believe you can accomplish. 1. Everyone else is achieving their goals right now.... 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Now, re script them and say how you can accomplish them. 1. Success doesn't come over night. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. You don't have to tell me.....I'm not going to tell you mine./ I have them though.....I did write one example. The thing is, everyone has goals that they would like to accomplish in life, but we won't be able to get to all of them. Nobody will. God still loves us just the same. He knows there will be things in life that we would enjoy doing, but He also knows that we won't be able to accomplish all which is why He gave us the verse Matthew 6:33 which reads as following, " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." I have had this verse memorized since high school. It's one of those verses that real
