My Prayer today is that I will walk with the Lord in my Thoughts and Choices.
I will see the world through the Eye's, ears and Heart of Christ.
I will have the mind of Christ.
Then I will have a day of strength, Joy and LAUGHTER!
Philippians 2:5
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Matthew 22:37
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Romans 8:6
For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Romans 8:27
And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ephesians 4:23
And be renewed in the spirit of your mind
Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee
Galatians 6:3
For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
THINK about it with your MIND.
This is where it starts and this is were it will END.
Salute! To your Mind

Day 11
Trying to keep UP!
Yikes..... What was I thinking to day I needed to write on the blog.
.... ummmm OH ya
New mantra
" I want it, but I don't need it.... therefore I don't want it"
Yap, That's it
Stop and think... THINK, THink before you reach for something and Say this.
Also, I'm really trying to keep my "thoughts" in check.
What am I thinking.... is it TRUE? is it a life giving thought? Kind?
Is it a thought founded in Love or Fear?
I'm believing more and more that all thoughts (emotional thoughts) are rooted in either LOVE or Fear
1 John 4:18 (King James Version)
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear hath torment.
He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
Salute!

the battle is on
Struggle!
not so much with choices of food or exercise - actually that's great.
it's the war inside my spirit.
there is something blocking my joy.
Maybe, just maybe it is my answer. It's what I've been seeking to complete the concept of living a balanced life.
Yes, I think so.
It's the recognition that something in me needs attention.
I thought this morning it was about "nutrition". Yes, that can difficulty cause a change in energy and then attitude.
Then I thought it was from Lack of Sunshine (a week of overcast clouds!) But, I've had marvelous times in this kind of weather when visiting Disneyland.... or when in the arms of my love... SO NO!
Now, I know.... it's something that ONLY CHRIST can reveal and heal. Oh, I know.... I could spend a kazillion dollars on a therapist. But studies show that the success of most therapy is .... TIME. THen I thought, it's a relationship issue, something bugging me with work, family.... situational! But..... get a grip. Nothing has really changed in my life. It's how I perceive, think... no... something deep that I just can't get my hands on.
So, I'm ready to have a talk with Jesus.
He, completes me.
He, satisfies me.
He, protects me.
He, gives me hope.
He, gives me strength
He, .... yes HE is whom I need to center and balance my life in.
I'm seeking, I'm knocking... I'm calling...
I'm ready for the Lord to help me draw out this toxin in me that is stopping me from having Life "abundantly and full of Joy".
Yes, buzz word of this decade.... Toxic! You got it. It's also something to take seriously regarding our Spiritual walk.
Toxic thoughts, Toxic foods, Toxic Spirits...
yada yada ya!... and blog blog blog.......
I'm now going to pump up the music in my Iphone to sounds and words that cleanse and heal my spirit!
Oh, How grateful I am for Christ and what he did on the Cross.
Thank yo LORD
Salute! To YOUR Health and Wellness

day NINE
Live what we know
Know what we Live
Acknowledge what we don't know
Be teachable
Balance! If we are not balanced when we stand... We fall.
If we are not balanced in our mind with our thoughts... we Fail?
If we are not balanced in our bodies than we...become Ill?
So, as I struggled this morning - knowing what to do in my mind... but my body not cooperating
It occurs to me "balance".....
Are my food choices contributing to the war inside me....
Freak YES, Oh my I just realized that on the 7th I ate pizza (carbs.... ) wine (sugars) and then pigged out on a bag of cookies (gingersnaps) saying to me self "I know I'm cranky about something.... whatever....I don't care".
Oh, my - like a drug addict I ate food that caused me to be unbalanced, I failed to put HEALTHY foods... I'm probably starving for vitamins, minerals, oxygen, water... proteins.... YES, WE ARE A PRODUCT of the choices we make. What we PUT IN OUR BODIES, MINDS, SPIRITS.
What came first? The thoughts..... well of course.... I didn't catch my self,
well actually I caught myself thinking the thoughts of "unhappiness" but then I made a CHOICE to give in and not give out unto the Lord with Speaking Words of FAITH, TRUTH...
So now here the past 48 hrs I have the seeds of unhappiness, guilt, failure that are haunting me. The WAR in Me.
waking up ..... putting on my BIG SMILE.... CONFESSING Scriptures... yet freakin laying in bed complaining about the dreary NO sunshine outside. Dear Lord, I'd die in Seattle! It's my choice to make excuses or STOP THAT
It's my choice to act in accordance with my Goals. BUT my choices are made from my thoughts....
my thoughts are IMPACTED FROM BODY (lack of nutrients, hormones, illness etc) BUT IT IS STILL MY CHOICE!
LOVE ME as Christ LOVES me.... I AM WORTHY! If I fail.... then "tap my forehead and say, I could of had a V-8" and get going!
Self discovery is such a wicked ride sometimes.
I need to PURCHASE my ticket today and jump on the train that takes me to my GOAL.
My Goal of "living life abundantly, full of Joy".... One day at a time until I meet my Savior.
One day at a time.... living my life to bring to OTHERS the gift that Christ has given me.
HOPE! FAITH! JOY! LOVE! PEACE! ...... The true Gift
Now, go do the right thing - Live by faith not by sight (feelings), eat LIFE giving FOODs, Choose thoughts that a rooted in God's Truth. Walk with GOD every step of the way.
Salute!
PS : become acutely aware of the SIGNS ( sometimes symptoms of self defeat) take them seriously when they happen. DON"T ignore them... take them to the CROSS.
Know what we Live

Day 8
Keep it simple!
Day EIGHT (July 8th)
"who is in control?" Well, actually..... I'm in control of my choices. That's where it starts and that is were it ends.
The Law of life controls that happens to my choices. For instance, If I choose to have a tantrum (although I wouldn't think of such a thing)... and I throw a glass - My choice - the glass will probably shatter and create a dangerous mess. The consequence of my choice to throw the glass effects ..... the glass, the area in which it breaks causing broken glass which is dangerous... the person who has to clean it up.... etc....
Simple stupid example, but oh so true.
Ok.... I choose to eat a piece of pie.... My choice! The moment it's ingested into my body - No longer in my control and no longer my choice what happens. The pie breaks down and my body absorbs and processes the pie.... sugar rushes into my blood, the calories, fat's become .... well, YA know! Most likely my body has to FIGHT to survive the attack of a NON nutritional product.
Point is
The free WILL that God gave us allows us to make choices.
Our choices are made from our thoughts!
Our thoughts are OUR CHOICE. Confusing isn't it. Yes, You may have a thought, but your mind aka brain gives you a choice to accept the thought or Not. Your Choice.
We are truly a product of ourselves. Science is now proving that we can CHOOSE our thoughts and therefore change the actually structures of cells in our Brains. Free Will.
I'm reading and listening to some authors (Physician's) and honestly I'm amazed at what I'm learning.
Once again I have confirmed that the Word of God is the beginning and the end.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things.
WE HAVE the GOD GIVEN Power to define Ourselves! In his Image
Salute!
