Move that mountain

What is Your mountain that needs to be moved?



Matthew 17:20  


 20He replied, "Because you have so little faith. 
I tell you the truth, 
if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, 
you can say to this mountain, 
'Move from here to there' and it will move. 
Nothing will be impossible for you.

Need I say more?

Salute!  To your Health and Wellness


Oh, my
I just was glancing through old post and Saw March 15, 2010
Crazy me.... I used the same title tonight.  And... last March I said that
  I am the mountain that needs to be moved!    Careful, I see a pattern here!

A moment of Anger

For his anger endureth but a moment;
 in his favour is life: 
weeping may endure for a night, 
but joy cometh in the morning.

Am I better than God?  If His anger endureth but a moment.... then .....
When something occurs that causes me anger I need to only allow it but for a "moment".  Easier said than Done!

Ok, so I had someone say something and I developed feelings of  "anger" stirring inside of me.  

I closed my eye's took a deep breath and visualized myself Blowing it away.  Nope, still there.  Then I said to myself  ;
 "Self, why would you let this Rob you of your Joy?"  

The person has no power over you.  
So, what they said only has power to rob you if YOU LET IT.  Ok, go deep.

Reach inside your mind and take this though that lit your anger and diffuse it. 

Go back to what you've learned. 
TWO EMOTIONS:  Love and Fear

Anger is birthed in Fear

Freak....

What am I afraid of..... Oh, right... I got it....

Afraid that what was said to me is right.  AHHH HA!  

So, let me think about this. Is what was said "right".  I'll exam this and then be honest with myself.  Is it a right thing that was said to me or is what was said only a statement to intimidate me and control me.  AHHH HA!  A Fear of someone being able to intimidated me and use it to control me.

I will not be scared or intimidated by anyone.   I'll hold myself up before the light of Christ and exam myself.   If this person was right, then I'll ask God to expose and heal me. If this person was wrong, then I'll dismiss what was said as "coming from the source" and has no power  over me.  

I will use what happened as a seed to help me GROW! 

There,  Diffused!  Yea.... Joy back

Nice!

Now, Shuddup a yourface!  HA HA HA

I think I'll just sing a Happy song out loud right now and then laugh at my antics ... 

Ahhhh Joy cometh in the morning!   YEA

Salute! To the Health and Wellness of  your SOUL!

AMAZING how life is  really played out in your head !

Learn from a child

It was a reminder yesterday as I watched my Grandchildren play.  
                             How delightful that they live in the moment.


They are free to explore and laugh and taken in what is happening around them.  No preoccupation about what will be happening tomorrow.  Not even what will be happening in an hour!


We are HIS children.  Rest in Him.  


 Sometimes we're so eager grow up.  Like when you hear the child say "no, Mommy, I can do it myself".   
Sometimes we need to stop pulling away (from Him).

Think about it
His hands to guide you
His hands to comfort you
His hands to hold you
His hands to discipline you
His hands to clap for you
His hands to feed you
His hands are always open

Take his hand, Be his Child 

Now,  Go Play!

Salute!

"chasing the wind"

The wise King Solomon knew about what really makes us happy in life

Living in the Moment

Fear can Rob you of your Joy
Worry can Rob you of your Health
Toxic emotions: Anger, Unforgiveness, Resentment, Envy can Rob you of your peace


When you choose to live in the Moment You have to consciously take your thoughts and turn them towards what is happening at that moment.


The Phrase "stop and smell the Roses..." is just about that.


STOP your thoughts of something in the past and something in the future and turn towards where you are at that moment. 
LOOK around you "what do you See"
LISTEN to your heart at that moment...
                       (Like you tell the kids when they are learning to cross the street. 
                              If they don't stop, look and listen they can get hit by a car)


CHOOSE to see around you with the "eye's of Christ.
CHOOSE to hear with the ear's of Jesus
CHOOSE to listen to melody of that environment


This mean's when you stop and see the overcast sky.... you may say - "there is a sun hiding behind all that"  POSITIVE THOUGHTS
You may see a see of humanity at the store - right in front of you in the check out lane.  Embrace the moment and see those people as Christ would.  Notice their face-  wonder about their story .... may contemplate about that...
Or the opportunity to STAND still for a moment in a line.... BREATH!  
CHOOSE to see life in a whole new way.


Point is.... my quest for Health and Wellness goes beyond the number on the scale.
It goes beyond the number on the lab test.  It goes beyond, into the place where you
elevate your thoughts towards WHO YOU ARE in Christ and WHY YOU'RE even alive.


It's the health and well being of your thoughts and how you enjoy your life.


Don't allow yourself to be ROBBED today.  
(sometimes our own thoughts are the thieves that rob us).  


Take a Moment to ask the Lord to help you LIVE IN THE MOMENT!


Yesterday I noticed the beautiful Coronado Bridge.  It was a thought of how I hate to drive on the outside lane over this very high bridge over water.  Yet, in order to get to a favorite Hotel of mine, The Hotel Del.... It's the best way to get there with out driving miles out of the way.  


Yes, just like the Royal Gorge Bridge... the highest suspension Bridge in the US (maybe the world).  The view is incredible on this bridge.... but freakin crazy scary to me since under your feet are wood planks that you can see between.  Yes, you can see to the bottom of the gorge! Ahhh the view, spectacular.  When you get to the other side there's so much to do and see at this tourist destination in Colorado.  You just HAVE to get across the bridge to have the opportunity to enjoy what's waiting for you. 


Well,  it's a truth in life.  Sometimes we need to go out of our comfort zone to get somewhere.  Sometimes we need to take a very high Bridge in our life.


Find the strength and courage in HIM.  
Trust HIM.  
Don't allow yourself to be robbed of the enjoyment of the amazing view from that bridge  on your path.  It's a beautiful, spectacular and amazing life when your not robbed by your fears.


I sought the LORD, and he answered me; 
he delivered me from all my fears.

Again,  live in the moment without fear... trusting Him.

Live it, Love it....

Salute!  To your health and Wellness
