I would like to purge a few things today,

starting with my attitude.

I have some "stuff" I need to let go of.

I'm finishing up on my morning routine.

Coffee meditation and journal time certainly have paved the way

for a better day.

"Simple abundance:

1: and inner journey;

2: a spiritual and practical course in creative living;

3: a tapestry of contentment."

And here are some journal highlights from this morning...

Ask God to control your mind.

Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait

and trust God in the dark.

See your difficulties as setting the scene

for God's goodness and intervention.

God is actively working in your situation & guiding

you even when you don't perceive Him.

"He understands the cries of your heart, and the confusion

you feel when you don't know what direction to take."

He is teaching you genuine abiding faith.

He will give you just enough light on the path

to walk with Him one step at a time.

Know the power of your words.

Whatever you say to yourself today, let it be good.

Tell yourself nice things.

Weed out the  negative chatter.

Self-affirming words & actions are necessary

to counteract the unpleasant things you

 encounter.

Let go of the illusion that others are the 

source of your happiness.

Evaluating your worth based on how you look,

to yourself or others,

is always a trap.

A well nurtured soul can improve your appearance.

Learn to be a catalyst for your own change.

You already possess all you need to be genuinely happy.

You reach it through an inner journey

of emotional, psychological, and spiritual growth.

"Every once in a while you do something that surprises you

& catch a glimpse of the person you were meant to be.

As you do, you glimpse for a moment why God made you."

He is guiding you toward your best self all the time.

He is not in a hurry.

Your life is His project, not yours.

"If your in a period of waiting, take a deep breath &

know that all good things take time."

be well...

xoxo
