You Are What You Think

Have you ever heard the phrase,"You are what you eat."? I want to make some people think out there. How about this: "You are what you think." What you think will determine how you feel. How you feel will determine the choices you make. I consider myself to be a pretty positive person. You might consider yourself to be fairly positive as well. But unfortunately, we can entertain thoughts of negativity. This poor thinking is a robber. A culprit that steals our happiness and fogs our minds. 

If we only could challenge this way of thinking. 

Proverbs 16:23, "Much food is uncultivated in land of the poor. For lack of justice it is swept away." 

So much food stays in the ground. So many answers. So much potential stays hidden in the ground, because of a poverty way of thinking. Can we challenge our thinking and line up our thoughts with God's thoughts. 

"I know that thoughts that I think towards you, thoughts of peace, hope and a bright future." Jeremiah 29:11

Concrete Truth

So it's been pretty hot lately and I must say... I LOVE IT! I prefer hot over cold any day! I like the heat, I don't know why. I don't really sweat, so maybe that's why. Today, as with every day, I went to check the mail. I always (except for in the winter) check the mail without any shoes on. This is my idea of camping. Today the concrete was a little warm. The minute I stepped on the driveway, it brought back a memory of when I was a little girl living in Mertzon, TX. I remember playing outside and the concrete was so incredibly hot that it felt like it was really really cold. Do you know what I'm talking about? Today when I remembered this, I looked down at my toes like I used to when I was little. I remember that it used to weird me out because my feet felt cold concrete although I knew that the truth was that it was really very very hot.

It reminded me that we sometimes we allow our circumstances to dictate how we feel. The heat of the concrete was telling my feet to feel cold, when that clearly was not the truth.

Becareful not to let your concrete tell you how to feel. Stand on the Truth.
