I loved reading this in an appointment with God yesterday with my daughter, Ember. We were taking a break from organizing inventory at our office. This was also a reminder to include me in that fresh start. I was beating up myself all that day that our stock had gotten to such a disorganized state, and I was not aware of it.
Quite frankly, in looking back, I was thinking about the wrong things. The worries, insecurities, frustrations, disappointments, sadness, and fears had gotten the best of me. But today is a new day and like my wise sister taught me, “When you know better, you do better!” So, today I’m in my sneakers, jeans and office shirt with no make-up because I’m joining the crew in Operation Get Inventory Organized.
Again, I’m aiming to be the best in everything I do! No crying over what’s happened in the past. I’m giving the world and myself a fresh start!
Glory to God for His unbelievable help in all of this! From helping me to see my life more clearly and where I’ve been getting it wrong. The most important job I have from Him is to be my most loving and forgiving self in every situation and experience. From that loving perspective, I can then respond to whatever comes my way from a calm, gentle and forgiving spirit asking God to direct my thoughts and actions on a moment by moment basis.
The fasting has been a tremendous help. It is teaching me to catch myself when my mind wants to get caught up in thinking about the wrong things and to have the discipline to change my thoughts. Like John Joseph taught me, once you can control the tongue, which fasting is showing me, I can train the rest of my body, including my mind.
Now, instead of negative, cluttered thinking, my mind is thinking all the higher things of life and learning to LOVE EVERY MOMENT. Yesterday that meant with all the work, jamming our fav music and making it a fun and enjoyable exercise. That’s how we do!
“Today, and every day is a beautiful day simply because God made it.”
KEEP CALM—YOU’RE ROLLING WITH GOD
