Think About It Tuesday

"The ancestor of every action is a thought." ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ever have one of those days when you cannot focus? Usually, it is very frustrating for me. Today, it just wasn't.  I wish I could say my workday was productive...

I prayed and chatted with my boys, as usual. By the time I got to my desk there was an extreme calm that came over me. I worked quietly, nodding to some worship music. My mind was racing all over the place; recalling all the visions, dreams, and blessings of late. I gave thanks and embraced the moment. I then prayed with my accountability circle. That was even more encouraging... 

Ever have that moment when you not only see God's vision for your life, but you actually see Him working? I had that moment today. 

We've all endured pain, willingly and unwillingly. 

Was there a lesson, blessing, or was it in vain? That part is up to you. 

Ponder your thought life for a moment...

Think about this:

"Women think more about what men think than men spend thinking." ~Unknown

While I think this is hilarious, it is also my truth. Ladies, you know it's true too. 

Have you said the following:

*What were you thinking?

*What are you thinking about?

*Men don't think.

*Tell me what you think.

*Are you listening to me?

*What's that face for?

*What does that mean?

*I need details.

(I laughed out loud as I wrote these questions.)

I over think things quite often. I create so many scenarios, which creates anxiety then stress then frustration. I can just hear Kenny saying, "Babe, you're way ahead of this thing, getting worked up for nothing." My response, "you think?" 

All of that to say, we must stop allowing our thoughts to get the best of us. We know what people tell us and show us, never what they're truly thinking.

"Do not worry about what may come. You're here to live, to love, and to learn every step of the way. You have the full support of your Creator and when you know this, all obstacles will fall away."
