Mama’s losin it!

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

I have a bad habit! Ok, I have a ton of them really. But one that really needs to go is my ability to freak out over things and say stuff like….”I’m going to lose my mind!”. Or….”I think I’m going nuts!”. I do that over stupid things. I do it over big things too. I have to stop it! Or I just may…well, you know! 🙂

Tonight as I hopped in bed….I clicked on Wednesdays with Beth @ Life Today with James & Betty Robison (I LOVE THEM!!!). James reminds me so much of my FIL, Bert! Beth was teaching on one of my favorite verses ever…. 2 Timothy 1:7 “God has not given us the Spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind”. I love that verse and use it almost every single day.

But…do I LIVE IT? Sometimes. Other times I’m no different than anyone else and fold up like a total wimp! I use terms such as “I think I’m going crazy” when I get stressed or under pressure. Really? That’s not what God’s word says…..I have HIS help, why am I not tapping into it? Silly!

After listening to Beth mention some key issues we as women face….I felt so convicted about the foolish words I use. I am defeating myself (nevermind about satan)….me, myself, I’m dooming my own fate with my weak thinking. Tell me I’m not the only one?!! Like she said….I have the living word of God at my fingertips, why would I live in anything but victory?

I’ve never read Breaking Free. I have heard so many people say that it literally changed their lives. After tonight, I’m convinced that I must have that book. I need to be free of some bondage that doesn’t belong in the life of this believer! I plan to change some bad habits into something positive.

God,
I love you! Thank you for great teacher’s that remind us of your power. I’m ready to make some changes. Help me…..think like you!
Amen.
