The Lies I Believe

I read a good word this morning!  Nahum 1:12 “From now on I’m taking the yoke from your neck and splitting it up for kindling.
I’m cutting you free from the ropes of your bondage.”

There are many lies I have come to believe in my life and thank God I have been set free from the things that threatened to destroy me. I have tasted the freedom that comes when God shines His truth on those lies and I can see clearly the situation, myself, or whatever it is, as He sees.  There are times though when, if I am not guarding my heart and my mind, when if I am not taking every thought captive, I can feel the fiery darts of self-doubt and lies attacking my mind.  It is in those moments, in that 10 second window, where I make a decision to stand my ground.  To make sure the enemy knows I have been set free. The yolk, the chains, the lies no longer have me in bondage.  It is not that I won’t face fears and the lies. They are going to come my way!  The truth is they have lost their power.  And I am set Free!

There is nothing as powerful as a changed mind!

There is nothing as powerful as a changed mind.

That is the title of my blog and the title of the message I listened to from TD Jakes this past Monday. (click on it for the service- stick with it and get to the message you won’t be sorry)

SO my blog today may be a little lengthy in that I want to share with you where I am but also my notes and thoughts on this message that, as I have listened to it over and over again, has started to change me on the inside. (my default settings)

My life is not unlike others.  I struggle with all the same things.  It hasn’t been easy but, who ever said it would be!  This past few years have been especially difficult and I have shared on many occasions on various things touching my life.  Even as I…

2015!

WOW! I can not even believe how long it has been since I set down to write.  Has it really been since February 2013?  So much has happened. February 2013 found me taking care of my then 18 year old son who broke his arm in two above the elbow in a dune buggy accident.  That is where I remember life getting too crazy to write.  There would be no real way to share all the craziness of two years but, I am back!  I am now a grandmother of two amazing little ones.  Aubrey who is about to turn ONE and is my little princess.  Jeremiah is right behind her and will be one in April!  He is my little prince.  They have taught my heart a new level of love I never even knew existed. I have graduated Kody from high school and have ushered Brett into his Freshman year.  I have started a new career and with that made some incredible new friends.  I am in a better place then I have ever been.  SO many more exciting things I could tell you!  Too much to even try to recapture and explain!  So for tonight it will suffice to say- I step boldly into 2015 and look forward to getting back to my writing.

It feels like home!

Nope…never mind….

Day 38 Project 365

I was going to blog tonight but I think it is safer for anyone that might read this if I decline to comment on the many very frustrating aspects of my day! I am going to bed now and after a much-needed nights sleep with no drama ( I pray) maybe tomorrow I can resume some part of my life.

Drive by

Day 33 Project 365

Just a quick “drive by”. Been struggling with headache and not feeling so great so heading off to bed. Praying I can get some rest and finally accomplish the things I set out to do today tomorrow!

Ready to get back to feeling like me. Seems like its been weeks. Probably because it has!

Night

Probably won’t but I should

Day 32 Project 365

Been awhile since I did more than a quick post from my phone. Though I am actually logged in tonight I am not quite in a place where I am ready to really write. I am recovering from feeling like death warmed over and still not myself. I am exhausted and emotionally feel like I have been ran over. I can’t quite explain that either. I mean I can, but, I probably won’t. I am stuck and feeling like I am going through motions. I know what I would like to do, but, I probably won’t. On that note I need to go back to some basics. Some things I know pull me out of this place. I need a new direction. I need ………to catch my breath!

Here I am again

Day 31 Project 365

Here I am again but still just a note! Feeling blah and overly stressed out! For tonight…. That’s all!
