Controlling My Mouth!
Ok, let's face it, a lot of us (me, me, me) get in trouble because of our words. I did a bible study last night with a dear friend of mine and we focused on controlling our words. I guess I have known for some time now that our words and thoughts are key to what is going on in our life but until now I am not sure I fully comprehended the magnitude of how true that is.
In a online sermon we listened to, it was said that our tongues, like a rudder on a ship, sets the course of where we go in life. We need to take control of our words and start using them the way God intended us to. Life and death are in the power of the tongue..........gosh, that is so true. As a part of everyday life we use words and phrases like "my head is killing me" and "I was so embarrased I just wanted to die". WOW.....do we really have a clue what we are saying? I know I have said those type of things on a daily basis.
I for one am going to begin to retrain how I speak and certainly what thoughts I entertain. I want to speak life and words are the seeds to do that. I am going to quit saying what I see or what I feel and start saying what God's words says. The confession that we make is key to the destiny we arrive at.
This sermon went on to say that you will never climb any higher than your willing to speak. I think that says it all; our words are so powerful, I want to use them wisely.

Time To Reflect
It has been a month since I last blogged and so much has gone on. Skip and I took a much needed long weekend and went to North Carolina, it was absolutely beautiful. What I didn't love was that we were caught in a snow storm in Blowing Rock, NC, needless to say we called that phase of our trip done and moved on........we ended up in Gatlinburg. It was cold and not my kind of weather at all but we had a good time. We took the time to just be together and let our day to day stuff of life rest for a few days.
I am looking forward to this weekend; Friday night at church, Tina Hutchinson is doing a Holding Out Hope concert. This is a perfect way to kick off the weekend..........she is so annointed and full of God's love that when she sings I am always moved and experience God's spirit in a powerful way. I wouldn't miss this for the world!
Then on Saturday I am hosting our 2nd Annual God's Girls Spring Fling..........and I am so excited! We always have so much fun when us girls get together and just enjoy one anothers company. There is just something about girl time......I find it so refreshing and almost therapeutic. When we allow ourselves to take a break from being super moms and wives I feel like it gives us a new perspective on things and enables us to go back to our familes and give all the more. I am so thankful that God has given me these ladies; I have never met such loving and giving women in all my life. We have become a family and I treasure the times spent together and realize how blessed I am to have that in my life.
To say God is good is such an understatment.............there is none like Him!
