8 Things

Think on these 8 things daily...





Know that you are loved..For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 (NIV) You probably know this verse by "heart" and have repeated it a thousand times but do you truly believe it in your "heart?"



Refuse to live in fear; fear and worry are tools of the enemy. Fear and Faith cannot occupy the same space.





Be positive and think positive thoughts - do go negative.


  • In Philippians 4:8 gives us our thought pattern - whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. (I like how it reads in the KJV)

Recover from setbacks quickly. I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13 (KJV)


Avoid comparisons.



Take action - Faith is an action word. Without faith it is impossible to please God. Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)


  • What comes to mind when you think about God is what you really think about God.

Don't live in "if only" or "what if." Don't live in the past - move forward. Forget the past look to the future. (Isaiah 43:18 - NIV)
  • God is able to make a new beginning - He makes ALL thing new. He turns or test into testimonies and our messes into messages.

Don't always play it safe. If you always do what you've always done and expect a different result - that my friends is the definition of insanity! Try something new and different - a new hairstyle, new lipstick shade, take the scenic route instead of the quickest route. 
  • God turns endings into new beginning.




















Be blessed and be a blessings!


I've been reading through some of my old journals and this leaped off the page, so I thought I would share. From the pages of my journal dated July 26, 2013

On each of the four Sundays preceding Christmas, an Advent candle is lit. The 4 candles of Advent are Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace, representing the virtues Jesus brought us.
