Thursday Thoughts

Mornin' Gals!! First of all let me say, holy cow. I didn't remember that part being in the love dare. I almost debated on leaving that one out, but don't we ladies "leave that part out" enough? Enough said on that subject! Amen?

Ok, ladies. I have to be brutally honest with you. If I ever sound like I'm preaching on here (like I probably did yesterday), I need for you to know that I'm mostly preaching to myself. Today's love dare calendar really hit home. I don't seem to honor anyone with my words lately, and that verse scares me because, I don't want those things to be in my heart. (It doesn't help that my husband told me that the last few Sunday school lessons were for me (and yep, you guessed it, they were talking about the mouth.) That James, you gotta love him, right? He shoots it straight! Count all your trials as joy, tame your tongue, and lots of wonderful other things, that I need to do! So, I'm wondering, do any of you have problems with these things, or am I just a crazy bad person. I have tried "taking every thought captive" and I end up with a battle going on in my mind. The fleshly part of me wanting to get mad, or upset, then the spiritual part of me saying, "love your neighbor as yourself" "let it go" "it doesn't matter" "count it all joy" , then I can't explain what happens. It's like I get upset with myself, have fights with myself, inside my mind, then I end up getting angry with whoever talks to me next. Please pray for me. I am striving to be a better person, but I'm not doing so good at it.
I'm also good at the "woe is me" attitude. "I do so much" is what my mind tells me, WHEN I DON'T!! Self pity isn't pretty!!!!!

Does anyone have the Joyce Meyer book "Battlefield of the Mind" that I could borrow? Or any other thing like that? Maybe I need electroshock therapy!! LOL!!

Anyway, didn't mean to be so glum this morning. I just had to get it off my chest, and I love you ladies and know you'll pray for me.

CREATE IN ME A NEW HEART, O LORD!!!


I found the following poem online. It's an oldie but a goodie!! Love ya'll!
