Mental Attitude Cont'd

Within ourselves, it is easy for us to reflect back on our mistakes, our failures, and what we feel , is our successes. Who is keeping track of all of this? No one ~~~~~ we are the only ones that are keeping track of our accomplishments and failures and judging ourselves harshly, because we look at what the world is doing and feel we are not succeeding at all!  Ugh! I know I have compared myself and what I have done or not done in life and when I realized why I wasn't happy or successful, I took a long look at me and decided it is time to truly evaluate what it is I am doing wrong. And when I did that I found out through God's word that NOTHING is wrong with me. There is more right than wrong!



Many of us women, and there are very few who do not, tend to compare ourselves. We look at this woman who is thin, or this woman who has long flowing hair, or this woman whose teeth is straight and white, or this woman whose is built nice - - - - - - - -- -Who said we had to be perfect to achieve anything good in life and to receive anything good in life? When we compare, first of all ladies, we set ourselves up for failure. God molded us into who we are today and in His eyes we are perfect and wonderfully made. I am not saying we should become haughtly or conceited; but I am saying we should love ourselves enough so that we can have healthy relationships with others. Constantly having a negative attitude will keep us down, unhappy, and at times, depressed. Who are we trying to please, man or God?

To be on this path of a good mental attitude about ourselves does not happen overnight, in fact, it does not happen at all without effort on your part, and to want to live a healthy God-filled life, we have to want to grow, change and become all He wants us to be! Take a good look at yourself tonight before you go to bed and truly look at yourself in the mirror and evaluate you! Do not look at what is wrong with you, but focus on what you do like about you and keep going from there! It's a mountain you are going to climb, but with God's help, you will not climb it alone!

Appetizer # 7

# 7 Objectives (n) - something your working towards Increase! ---Hmmm! Increase in what? I'm not sure what you mean by increase! Increase in finances maybe ~ or increase in knowledge ~ or perhaps you mean increase in healthy friendships!  All of these are attainable; however, they are not accomplished without work on our part to obtain them ~ and keep them. Maybe you want to increase your household! Uh Oh! (Big Smile) ~ VUALA ~ here's your baby! Wow that would be wonderful if it worked out that way, but we know better huh?  How many of you have really sat down with a goal in mind and established a step by step plan to reach that goal? I have never done that, I have always flown by the seat of my pants and they would always work out! NOW? It's not that easy. I have had to think things through more, pray about them and believe they will happen!  What I mean by that is, I became independent of Christ (sure of my own works), instead of dependent (leaning totally ...

Appetizer # 8

# 8 Self-Respect (n) - proper pride; dignity Oh yes, I did not do well in Business Law. To be honest, I could have cared less about court cases, what the law says about landlord rights, tenant rights, labor law rights, etc. After all, I had a home, a full time job (that at the time, I had no intention of leaving), and I was married with children. I decided to go back to college after the kids were school age, to better my life and theirs~so I thought! I was working third shift, 40 hours a week; and juggling Motherhood and being a wife. Well - all of that together did not mix well at all!  Of course I was tired. In between classes, I would go to the student lounge and sleep ~ there was also times I would doze while driving their and back home. One day while driving home, I was so sleepy, I just could not keep my eyes open. However, when I did realize I had fallen asleep,  I was heading towards the median on a four lane highway. You talk about being scared straight. I kn...

Appetizer # 6 - Dreams

Appetizer #6 Dreams - Images in the mind For years, I would have the same dream of entering a beautiful mansion and I could remember being awestruck of how beautiful it was. I would marvel at the quality of its craftsmanship.  I would slowly walk down the beautiful marble staircase into the basement.  Once I got to the bottom of the stairs, there was this black door that had a little window on it. Imagine going into a dungeon and the only way anyone could see out was through this peep hole and vice versa.  When I went to open the door, an evil spirit would come near me and I would wake up immediately! As I mentioned this dream went on for years, until I realized that it was the devil. As soon as I confronted him that he will no longer allow me to live in fear of God's blessings and that he had no power over me either, the dream stopped immediately. I know that my ways are not God's ways and my thoughts are not God's thoughts, but to live a life filled with God's ...
