I'm Learning!!!!

God commands that we be holy. It's repeated constantly throughout the Bible. - Not a revelation to me. But what I learned this morning and MUST implement into my life this moment and every moment from now on is. Jesus said in Matthew 15:17-20 "Don't you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body?But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart,and these make a man 'unclean." For out of the hear come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what make a man "unclean'; but eating with unwashed hands does not make him 'unclean' " What we say, what comes out of our hearts- must be holy to glorify God. I can't let Satan fill my heart with hurt and anger. I can't let him steal my peace. Those thoughts must be pushed away so I can be filled with faith, hope, love and compassion and share that for God's glory.

A New Year A New Focus

This is as good as time as any to get on the right road. Financially, spiritually, physically, emotionally. It's going to be a tough journey, but nothing like Moses did. It's going to require sacrifices, but nothing like Job did. I started during last year to make some changes. I have a little momentum to start the new year. I know I won't get it all right. I will stumble, have bad days. But everyday starts a new day. A day to be better focused on the goals at hand. I feel a lot of changes coming this year and they are all going to be coming from within me. How exciting is that?? I can't change those around me all I can do is change myself. I'm done living life the way I have been. It's not getting me where I feel God wants me to be. I only have one life to get it right and I'm running out of time. It's time to get out of my comfort zone and get to it. I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!
