Good Morning

This morning I don't really have any cohesive thoughts, it's a random jump around in my brain day.

I did just remember that if I direct my thoughts to concentrate on Jesus, I will have perfect peace, and I do. Just nothing ground breaking to write about.
So this is an exercise in (here's that word again) discipline.
Doing what I have said in my heart I will do.

As I look around at the house God provided, and the home he has created thru me, I can only be thankful.
Oh it will never be in a better homes and garden spread, but when prople enter it, the Peace of God gives them a big hug, even before I do.
I remember back to the various get togethers I have hosted for family and friends,
The one thing that every one has said, beside the food was great, (I love cooking for people) is that the atmosphere is so wonderful here, no drama, no hassles, just a good time had by all. Even those who usually carry a ship load of drama with them whereever they go, have laid it down outside the door before they enter.
I guess it is something I have always just accepted as normal.
But after having been to a few gatherings outside of my home territory, I have seen it isn't that way for every one.
So, I had to find out what the difference is.
In three words, The Holy Spirit!
He lives here in me and in my husband, and He keeps the peace, because He said He would and we just take Him at His word.
Faith in God's word has more power than anything else on this planet.
I have in the past walked in this truth, without consciously relizing what I was doing.
My goal this year and the coming years, it to make it a conscious decision each moment of my life.
Wow I just found my first goal for this year.
Amen!!!
I'm more then Kinda excited, cause I stopped having goals a long time ago, and if I might have one in mind I certainly never, ever shared them with people; they can too easily turn on you and destroy your hopes, dreams and goals.
This is a new page in my life because for the first time in a very _x10) long time; there is no fear in sharing.
I have promises from God.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
and
Isaiah 54:17
No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
I think that is a pretty good place for me to start!!!
Have a blessed day!
