Bitterness

Do you have bitterness that you need to let go? Bitterness keeps our hearts in a place where we are not able to forgive and move on. It affects our outlook on life, and our health. If you have bitterness towards someone today, work on letting it go.

What Do You Need This Week?

What do you need this week? Rest, peace, to overcome, to be bold, boundaries, to leave fear behind, to disconnect from technology to reconnect with reality, balance, fun, laughter, family time, to let worry go, ..............? In the next week, work on it, intentionally, and see what changes you can make in a week. You have to take that first step to begin any type of change. 

This week, I need boundaries, and I have been setting them today. Life has been out of control busy and I need to take a step back, realign a few things, and say no to a few other things. I will report in next week on how well I stuck with them. 

Please share what you will work on this week.

It's A Choice

Each day we have choices to make about how we will handle the day and what  we do with our time.

What will you choose?

Fresh Start

Each day is a fresh start.  

Don't live in regret.  

Make the most of each moment, they are all gifts! 

Comfort Zone

Are you living in your comfort zone, or are you stepping out of it, and really living life?  Live a life of no regrets, think you can do it, and reach for some goals.  Leave behind the fear, and live a life of purpose and passion. 

No Fear

What would you do if you let fear go?

Learn To Laugh

Learn to laugh at yourself and at the world. Instead of getting bogged down in the mud of worry and fear, laugh and be happy because I am by your side. Just as parents delight in the laughter of their children, so I delight in hearing you laugh. I feel happy when you trust Me enough to enjoy your life." -Jesus Calling for Kids by Sarah Young

Let.It.Go

There is enough heartache and sorrow in this life without our adding to it through our own stubbornness, bitterness, and resentment. –Dieter F. Uchdorf   

Seeds of bitterness, left unchecked, can harbor into a full-blown anger that consumes us. It festers and eats away at us.  It destroys our happiness and steals our joy.  Ultimately, bitterness only hurts ourselves, and not the person we are angry with.  Letting go of bitterness is a conscious, intentional act.  Letting go of bitterness restores our joy, and gives us freedom to truly live life again.  

Take A Break

"Take a break. For a little while, put aside your to-do list. Stop trying to figure everything out, and hang out with Me. I created you to need rest. Not just the kind of rest that comes from sleeping, but the kind that comes only from spending time with Me—rest for your soul." -Jesus Calling by Sarah Young

Worry

Worry robs our lives of joy, and causes health problems. 

Let. It. Go.

Battle For The Mind

Most of the battles in life are won or lost in our mind. To overcome those battles, we need to learn to control our anxiety, fear, and negative self talk.







Our beliefs affect how we act. We first need to examine what we believe, and make changes where needed. When we change our thinking, changing our behavior will come much easier.

Next Breath

When we stop seeing reasons to give thanks, we stop thinking there are reasons to live. When we don’t focus on what we can thank God for, we can’t focus on living for God. 

Giving thanks can help us want to take —

the next breath.

Overcome or Overwhelmed?

Which handle do you grab for each morning?  We all have a choice to either be overwhelmed or to overcome.
