June 1st, 2011 marked the beginning of my one-poem-a-day-for-a-year quest. I finished that and so January 1st, 2013 marks the beginning of my "you learn something new every day" journey. Follow me as I document what I learn on a daily basis for the entire 2013 calendar year. I DON'T LEARN SOMETHING NEW EVERYDAY!! So I've stopped that blog and now onto something new...

You Will...
You WILL get what you talk yourself into...
positive or negative it will come to fruition!
I am living proof that this is quite true. For so many years I lived with a half glass empty perspective. As a young adult I had a LOT of fears and insecurities. I still have my fair share. I remember talking to God and saying here are my worst nightmares God.. if these things happen I wont make it. Guess what they ALL HAPPENED. As I thought about why is that? God why are you punishing me and YES I was mad at God.. thought he hated me... Then as I matured (years later) I realize that those things that happened were not God's doing.... A lot of it was ME. I constantly lived my life trying to "AVOID" those things that I feared would happen. always trying to prevent and instead I perpetuated the issue. Satan knew my fears... He used them against me but ONLY because I allowed him to. I had to learn to live in the FULLNESS of Christ not the FULLNESS of my fears (satan realm).
"As a man thinketh so he is and therefore acts".
"What we think about we bring about."
I would say that is why the scriptures Romans 12:2 talks about And do not (C)be conformed to (D)this [c]world, but be transformed by the (E)renewing of your mind, so that you may [d](F)prove what the will of God is, that which is good and [e]acceptable and perfect.
What consumes my thoughts today? hmmmm.....Something to think about especially if it is anything other than total intimacy with God and being about his Kingdom.
