I Feel Change

It is amazing. I really can feel God working in my life. This weekend was a long and hard weekend for me. We were having the Dawson Christmas at our house. I have been working on getting our house organized for a while and I needed to get the house cleaned because for some reason when i organize stuff it seems the house just gets messy. Probably because i am pulling stuff out of one room to put in another room and so on and so forth. Well anyways. I had a lot to do come Fri and Sat. I thought Jon Had Sat. off which gave me great peace. I knew he could watch the kids and I could get my stuff done. Well It didn't work out that way which I don't do good with Change. He had to work. Well I started to get mad because i had so much to do it seemed like and I had to watch the kids as well. Which is not always easy, when I have a lot to do. Well as i was finding my self talking to my self in not such a good way. So I remembered what I read. CHANGE YOUR SELF TALK. I am the only one who can make my self stay mad and I am the one to change it. So i stepped out side and prayed that God would help me change the way I was talking to my self. I started to talk more positive to myself and I changed my self talk. Very Quickly my mood changed. Of course I had to keep reminding my self but I didn't let my self get angry and hold on to it. I let it go and The next day while Jon was working I got my stuff done earlier then i thought I would. Praise God.

1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
I love this verse. It is a reminder to control my mind and Have self-control over it. And that is where a lot of anger hides and I can control my mind by preparing it with Gods word and controlling it by the way I talk to my self.

One of the major things that has really helped me is to just HIDE THE WORD OF GOD IN MY HEART. I am not sure where it says that in the bible but that is what we are told to do. I have not always been good with that but I am really trying. I look on Biblegateway.com a lot and just type in a word and read the verses it pulls up. There are so many that I love and remind me of who God wants me to be.
