Doing You Well Wednesday - #5

"Back To The Drawing Board"
by Trinity



When things in life are ever so tough,

Sometimes, your best just isn't enough.

Go back to the drawing board,

Devise a new plan.

Always seek the Lord!

Start anew,

Try again.

So, when things in life are ever so tough,

And, you know that your best is just not enough.

Seek the Lord in all thy ways,

Trust in HIM - there are better days!


On this Doing You Well Wednesday, I have to redo some areas in my life.  Life is filled with challenges - ups and downs.  I refuse to get stuck on this road.  I'm taking a detour.  But, in the end, I will reach my destination!  Because, with God, all things are possible.

Happy Sunday! Beauty For Ashes

Isaiah 61:3
King James Version (KJV)

To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

Doing You Well Wednesday #4 - Don't Be SNIOP(ed)!

Don't Be SNIOP(ed)!

When I was in college, I remember an instructor teaching that we should not wear our emotions on our shoulder. She used an acronym -SNIOP (Sensitive to the Negative Influences of Other People). Although my instructor did not coin this phrase, she often talked about it. From time to time, I think about how so many of us are far too sensitive to negative energy ,influences, and vibes from other people. We allow this sensitivity to negatively alter our attitudes and to sometimes pressure us into making choices we may not be comfortable with. Very few of us intend to do this - it just happens. The following are common examples of being SNIOP(ed).

1. We allow the attitudes of others to alter our mood.

2. A misinterpreted look from someone could be perceived as rejection.

3. A group of people talking may be misread as anything from a ploy to get us fired to a plan to physically harm us. 

When we don't take our thoughts captive, the mind plays dirty tricks on us. From time to time, we have all probably fallen victim to being SNIOP(ed). Therefore, we must make a conscious effort to not be SNIOP(ed). So, today, I challenge you to take your thoughts captive and do as the Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10:5 - bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

Happy Sunday!

I AM More Than A Conqueror!

 

Mali Music - "Conqueror"

Romans 8:37
King James Version (KJV)


Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Doing You Well Wednesday #3 - "Letting Go"

Letting go of emotional pain is a choice. It is a choice that we must make if we are ever going to be free.

Although we wish that certain things never occurred in our lives, there is nothing that we can do to erase the painful memoirs that are forever etched into our past.

Too often, we replay
· every horrible act that was ever committed against us,
· every humiliating moment that we ever experienced,
· and all of the times that we were disappointed because of 
  something that someone else failed to do.
Although we want to forget and let go, we tend to rehearse all of the cruel suffering we ever endured. At the same time, we vow to never again allow anyone to inflict upon us this kind of pain.



We must not continue to live in it.

We must learn from it.



I don't know what you need to let go of, but I do know that it is time to stop allowing it to keep you in bondage.



So, tonight, I am making a vow to let _________________ go. Will you make that vow with me?  

Fill in the blank with whatever it is that you're letting go.

　


Philippians 3:13-14

...forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
