What are you thinking?
Hey Friend!
I’m actually writing you a day EARLY! 🎉 This is possible thanks to two kids at day camp (loving life), one kid with my mom (Thanks Ama!), and my oldest having friends over to swim (four of the sweetest 13 year old boys you’ll ever meet). Life is good today.
However, sometimes life isn’t so good and sometimes that’s because of our thoughts. Our thoughts determine our attitude…our attitude determines our direction…our direction determines the course of our life. You can probably guess that I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about this topic lately. 😉 I have because I was asked recently to share a brief video devotion for Rising Above Ministries. (This is a ministry near and dear to our family’s heart and they are doing incredible things for families with special needs. Check them out!)
As soon as I was asked, I started telling myself reasons why I couldn’t/shouldn’t do this. I started looking at other videos shared and comparing myself to them. “I can’t share a clear message on video, I will look ridiculous, What would I even talk about?, etc.” This went through my mind on and off for days. Can you relate? We talk ourselves out of things before we even really try! It has to stop.
Soon, the Lord reminded me of two verses that I try my best to live by and I knew, like it or not, I needed to be obedient to share them. So I did. Feeling completely relieved, I deleted the video from my phone and moved on. Mission Accomplished! Then the Lord started nudging me again. This time, to share the message with you. So, I recovered the video from my phone and decided to close my eyes, take a breath and hit send on this message to you. I hope it speaks to your heart and helps you change how you think.
