What's your cause?

I must say, I really liked the last Warrior message, the one about the passive Warrior.
This blog is really just to honor my husband....He is a wonderful man who definitely is not a passive Warrior but he is by far a passionate WARRIOR....

I know that he would fight for Amelia and I...I know he tries to protect us...he is a wonderful provider, always looking to make sure we spend our money wisely...always trying to make the best decision for our family. He recently has stopped bring his computer home, which has made it so he cant work from home! We love him very much...

ALSO, the second part to that message was a passionate warrior wants and looks for ways to advance the kingdom! That is exactly what God has told Steve to do. I know he gets frustrate sometimes, and feels like giving up...But he stands strong, and does what God tells him to do. :) He is a wonderful man, who is doing what God wants him to do, he listens and obeys, regardless of what other people think! I am so proud of him...and love him very much.

Thanks hunny for being a GREAT Warrior....we love you!

Stop the Clock

Its time to slow down
I feel like a circus clown,
All around me the sound
Of time ticking around and around...

There is always so much we need to do,
But wait, is it a need a want, Do we always have to try something new?

I look back on my day
Only to say,
what have I accomplished today?

Is that all that really matters,
What's written in our notebooks, the checklists that are tattered.

I need to slow down to think
Just why am I here and what is making me sink?

What are my priorities? God, family and friends...
Am I doing good in these areas and if not which ones do I need to mend?

Stop the sound,
The ticking that goes round
Where are you spending your time?
Is that worth a dime?

Pray and ask God for answer
For what in your life should really matter.

Sometimes I go through a whole week and think back on it, and think....what did I do that made a good memory for my family or friends? Did I spend enough time with God? It is crazy how fast time flies by, and its scary...I don't want to wake up one day, and say, HEY! :) j/k, but for real....

I am challenging everyone to see what is a priority in their lives....and are you putting that first or just going with the world....and filling up your time with stuff that in the end doesn't really matter?

cont..from Where is your mind? (2 blogs)

Where is your mind?
Is it in a bind?

How do you control,
What you think you already know

The thoughts just come,
Should I turn around and run?

And if I can’t run
How do I just give them to the Son?

We must try to think positive and obey,
Maybe we just need to get down on our knees and pray, pray, pray

Jesus said he will lead the way,
So give him your thoughts and worries to God and have a great day! :)

Where is your mind?

I have started reading a really good book, its called 'The 4:8 Principle' by Tommy Newberry...(wonderful book) and it all about how to change the way you think...

The book in general talks about how to filter your thoughts, how to think positively about everything, and not to dwell on the negative. One thing he said that was very interesting in this book was, "What you persistently think eventually but inevitably crystallizes into the words you speak and then the things you do..." ISN'T THAT INTERESTING...

I am wondering how people filter their minds...what do you do when you have a disturbing thought, or you start thinking negatively? I am only in the beginning of this book, but I would love to hear what people do to really try to control their mind and focus only on what God would have you focus or think about?
