Self-thoughts

I was in the middle of learning a Tai Chi step....(solo...with observers)

 when the music randomly switched from meditative to 

 a 60's pop song, and I broke out into a dance.

My instructor got tickled, then went to change the music.

 She giggled for the remainder of our session.

Hubby took a pause from work to join me at the library to view the winning photos

they chose to hang.

Four of them were mine.

I was sitting on the stoop earlier, my nose felt a lil' drippy....

so I grabbed a tissue from my basket.

 I unfolded it, and nestled inside was a lady bug.

I remembered a time when I was back home hiking at the falls.

My sister-in-law had just passed.

A girl came up to me and said there was a lady bug

on my shirt.

 She let it climb onto her finger, then held it in front of me & told me to make a wish.

I did.

 And then it flew off.

So I made a wish this morning, and then it flew off.

Life truly is a reflection of what we believe.

What if we believe that it is working for us, not against us?

What if we let go of what we think we need,

and think about all that we already have?

What if we believe in the good?

What if we believe that we can ?

 

 I was sitting on the stoop with my coffee, and the journal on my lap.

Revisiting my notes from this morning.

 A tiny, yellow, maple leaf came out of nowhere and landed right where I

was reading.

It rested on a message about thoughts.

My journal notes on thoughts:

There is a battle going on for control of your mind.

The world exerts a downward pull on our thoughts.

God's spirit fills our mind with life and peace.

Our day-to-day perseverance in dependence on Him

keeps us from despair.

He blesses us in ways unique to our needs,

and His design of us.

Guard your thoughts diligently.

Good thoughts keep you close to Him.

Fixing your thoughts on Him will be an ongoing struggle.

Poor sleep, health or nutrition, lack of fresh air,

exercise, worries of the world, and excessive busyness

all affect your ability to think.

It is possible to exert control over your thinking.

Don't let you thoughts run freely. 

Be self-controlled and alert.

Be present.

He didn't save us to let us flounder in uncertainty and

negative thoughts.

He doesn't leave us alone to plot our own course

to spiritual maturity.

He teaches us in the way we learn best.

He never gives up on you.

He won't stop transforming you-

so don't give up on yourself.

Talk to God about your struggles, make your thoughts a

conversation with Him. He's all ears.

His motives are never shadowy or manipulative.

His motive is always love.

He is the best healer, counselor, and friend.

His motive is always unconditional Love

Persevere in making good thought choices and enjoy

His refreshing Presence.

He gives you life itself.

be well...

"Every cell in your body is

eavesdropping on your thoughts.

Think stress, create stress hormones.

Think calm, create healing compounds.

Your mind is a powerful pharmacy."
