uh oh - that was the title of my devotion today........I'm in for it!! LOL
First - I wanted to update you on my Mother's day weekend - it was great! The weekend was filled with stuff and went by entirely too fast - but it was great. Friday - I spent the evening with my hubby and little boy.............then Saturday - I spent it all day shopping with the ladies from my church at Old Town Spring - it was so much fun (ok - maybe it was just fun because I was without the "boys") I shopped and shopped!!! Then, we went to this great little coffee cafe' on Cypresswood and Stuebner Airline called Rao's.............OMG is all I can say. Desserts out the wazoo and they are fabulous....it's my new favorite place. If you are in the Houston area and are out and about and have time to just go and eat dessert and have coffee - you must try it out............
While I was out shopping - my hubby spent the day with Jake......took him to Whataburger for lunch (Jake's favorite) and then to the swimming pool.....they had a great time....however, it was funny because Jake's shoulders got burned - he got him everywhere with sun screen except his shoulders.....lol....mommie would never do that would I??? LOL. After the pool - they came home and made mommy a card for Mother's day - aren't those the ones that are so precious??? Too cute.....when I got home from all my shopping - Jake wanted to give me his cards right then - however, Mark compromised and gave me one of my gifts instead - a beautiful turquoise ring.
Sunday - we got up - Mark made breakfast and Jake gave me my card - too cute! Went to church - had a great service and then came home and Mark's parents came over. Mark grilled steaks so I wouldn't have to cook and we had a great time......
the week has flown by as well - wow - it's already Wednesday - mid week! whew - school is almost out......
OK - devotion..............this is from Becoming - women's devotional.......
"What kind of thoughts have already stolen too much of your life? Maybe you think, "I've got too much to do, so maybe later. I'm in too deep, and I'll never get out. I've tried and failed a million times. No one else understands. It looks like I'm just destined to live this way." If you're like me, Satan tries to paralyse you by attacking your mind. He's convincing and you can hear his defeating thoughts in your head every day. But too many years are already gone. As for me, I refuse to live the next forty years inside the prison these berating thoughts build around my heart.
Did you know that you learn to believe what you focus on, whether it's actually true or not? At times, I have focused on my own rejection to the point that I began to live like I was only worthy of rejection. That is a complete mind game formulated by Satan to steal our confidence. That kind of thinking will limit and frustrate the work God intends to do in and through his children.
IN order to live as the woman God planned, you and I are going to have to capture these sinful thoughts and push them away so that we can confidently obey the truths of Christ. We must change our focus. Since we believe what we focus on, you and I must center our lives around Jesus. Thinking Jesus, believing Jesus, responding like Jesus, and loving like Jesus."
Man - when I get these thoughts that keep berating me - I just claim the blood over my thoughts and walk around repeating "I have the mind of Christ".....it's amazing when you pray the word over yourself - things begin to change.
Get bold - speak the word over yourself - it will NOT return void.
be blessed.
