Release your sweet self!

I got up this morning and had me an ugly! I just felt narky for no very good reason.... nothing had changed in my world all was well but I stank on the inside of who I was.... not good eh? I was actually relieved when the kids went to school and I could get some alone time to thrash things out with God.

As I meditated I realized my thoughts that morning were all pretty negative and I'd allowed na actually enjoyed a few of them. You see, when we allow guff to reside on our inside we very quickly start to stink...which is exactly what satan wants...cause when we're smelly and our minds are filled with junk we're ineffective and depleted in power. I love that the Holy Spirit is so gracious in highlighting such stuff in my world so I don't carry it for too long.PHEW! If you're having an ugly... ask the holy Spirit to help you release you sweet self...because the truth is God made you to be sweet...

2 Cor 2 v 14 Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him".

The Nearness of You!

No matter how life seems God is with you and He loves you so very much... But that can be hard to believe when you don't feel it? I was thinking about the nearness of God the other day and remembered something I studied about perception in psychology.... There's a process involved between unconscious awareness and conscious awareness... I think sometimes God very near but our perception of Him is limited by our humanness.... you see there is a time frame between processing information at an unconscious level until we become fully aware of whatever the external stimuli is. In our humanness we may not realize He is near already... it takes us time to process His presence until we're actually conscious of it...

If you feel God is far away today... be still and know that He is God, He is near, He loves you.... being open to the fact it may just take a wee bit of time for what you know to become what you feel.

Enjoy Yourself ..!

Do you remember that song... I've been struck recently by the amount of stuff I genuinely want to do but don't because I procrastinate... It's easy to get bogged down and wade through the day only to fall into bed at the end of it.(anybody feelin me here?)Beloved God did not create us to eek out an existence to shuffle along and just get through life. He created us to enjoy His creation and each other... so... as the bar man said to the horse why the long face...? Why are so many of us on a treadmill of life doing the same old same old?

When was the last time you peed your pants cause you laughed so hard?

Today is your day you'll never have it back... Choose to build some fun into your world... Ask yourself what's fun for me then do it this week. OR try something new that'll take you out of your comfort zone... you'll be glad you did...

Go on enjoy yourself to the glory of God the devil can't stand it!
