Psalm 19:14

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

Think about this verse here for a minute. What we say is a reflection of our heart. We should really consider the things we dwell on. The things we let run through our mind. It is proven that the average person has 60,000 thoughts a day and 80% of those thoughts are negative. We let negative thoughts control us because its easy to be down on yourself it's easy to just give up. Life is out trying, life is about striving. No matter how hard it is.

I wish I didn't fail so easily, but it's the fact of life. Thankfully we have Jesus who forgives us so quickly, forgets completely and understands our failures like no one else. Even better than we understand ourselves.

Even as I say this I think about how hard it is going to be to not let my thoughts go wayward.

So, today I am double checking what I am meditating in my heart.

I want to be acceptable in the sight of the Lord.

To me, this week is a new week. I'm excited because I feel like it's going to be a good week. A different week.

I want to influence someone, I want to be a light and always let my light shine.

When I pray I feel peace and my burdens are lifted. Honestly pray to Jesus, He will listen and will bring you peace. Not always are our questions or requests answered but patience is a virture and with patience we get more than we can imagine.

Life is all in Gods timing. I am learning to accept this.

I want to be a wonderful woman in God, a wonderful Godly wife.

But the world sucks you in so easily. This week I'm not having any of it.

No gossiping (that goes on a lot when you work with all women ), no bitterness towards my husband, no mean thoughts, no road rage ( I get that )!!

Lord, help me be a light for you today and always.

Thanks for the comment. It is amazing. You're right, what we think really is a big deal. I was actually thinking about the gossip issue this morning. For me there is a fine line between gossiping and talking about a situation . And usually I'm on the wrong side of that line. Thanks for the reminder that I can control it. In HIs love, Brittany
