I'm excited about this week because I have so much to share with all of you! As I said last week, these next few weeks are going to be about the things that I have learned about myself, about God, and how we can change our lives.
I know that the tools that the Lord gave me won't work the same way for any of you because the Lord has a different journey for each one of us. But you may be able to get something, that I didn't out of the very things that I used.
As you set out to get control of your thoughts and your life, don't be in a hurry. We spend way too much time rushing around trying to figure things out and trying to keep up with the world. And it's in that rush, that we miss some of the most important things.
Set about everyday as a new chance to gain control of the random thoughts that come into your mind and getting them under control. Again, the more you make yourself aware of them, the easier it gets. Do whatever works for you to replace them with positive affirmations. Whether they're Bible verses or positive attributes about yourself. There is no wrong way to do this!
Now while you are working on that I want to give you the second tip that will help you on your journey and will heighten your awareness that there is a God, and He is in control.
If you're one of those people that finds yourself in situations where you say,"What a coincidence," stop saying that! There is no such thing!
Every step you take, place you go, and person that you meet, is all part of God's plan. And, again, if you're not aware, then you may miss the biggest opportunity of your life and never even realize it.
If your remove the word "coincidence" from your life and treat these occasions like doors being opened by none other that God Himself, you will begin to see something AMAZING! He is at work in your life everyday, everywhere!
Look at the people you meet and the places you end up by coincidence as things that were supposed to happen. People you were supposed to meet at that particular time and places that you were sent to for a reason.
Ask yourself if that person maybe needs your help, or the place that you ended up in kept something bad from happening to you. Or the many other questions that you can think of that may apply to the situation at the time. It may even be something so important that God lets you know, without a doubt, why you're there.
Just pay attention to those thoughts that keep coming up that are maybe telling you to do something that you've been putting off. Those are the thoughts that you need to pay attention to.
A good example is my writing this blog entry. I knew it was something that I was supposed to do along with an email I've been meaning to write to a friend. But I kept putting it off until God just wouldn't leave me alone until I did it.
I was doing some work, that I thought was more important, but my mind kept going back to this and the email. It got to the point that it was pretty clear what He wanted me to do. So I stopped what I was doing and after I get done with this, I will be sending that email. And only then will He let me focus on my work.
So until next time remember these 2 key things: Focus on your thoughts and there is no such thing as a coincidence. We will meet back here in a week for the next few steps you can take to gain insight into your life. And until then, if you know anybody who can use this wonderful knowledge that the Lord has blessed me with, please share this with them. I would live to have more readers:)
Thanks again for all of you that take the time to read my blog. See you soon!
