You have made known to me the path of life; You will fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. Psalm 16:11
It's the weekend! YAhooooo...who cares! Oh my, oh my, oh my, the shrew is ITCHING,KICKING, and SCREAMING to be released!Take cover everyone.
I'm not in a good place mentally right now. I know I'm pmsing and this month is a BIG battle. I find every other month, I have a very difficult time with depression, meloncholy feelings, struggle with food issues, anger, laziness and just being an absolue SHREW!
As you can gather by what I'm writing so far, it's the 'shrew month' right now.
It's 9 a.m. I'm still in my pj's. Nothing new about that, back in the day. These last few months though, I have been able to get dressed, presentably I may add. Not that I was dressing provocatively, more like a slob.
I slept in till 7:30 a.m. I DON'T ever do that. I find this week I have been falling asleep, than waking up a few hours later not even realizing I had fallen asleep while watching a show. Which has been VERY irritating I may add. I missed a half hour of LOST!! I can't believe it! lol. I missed a half hour of CSI Las Vegas. I can't believe it. So any of you that watch them, tell me what happened pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeee!
This scripture was taken from my Promises from God. I'll be honest with ya, these were my thoughts when I read them, and can you tell, VERY fleshy thoughts.
You have made known to me the path of life; ya, well I don't like this path. You will fill me with joy in Your presence, ya, well I don't feel any joy at all. with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. I'm not feeling very pleasurable. I want to crawl back to bed and lay there, I want to walk around the house and scream at everyone just because!
Now I will write in my spirit, my inner man.
You have made known to me the path of life; Father God, I am crying out to You this morning in Christ Jesus' Name, give me the strength to take that path of life, for my flesh is wallowing in the muck of despair and trying to drag my spirit down there. You have set before me the path of life Father and I CHOOSE this day to walk in it. I choose to take my thoughts captive, my words captive and bring them to obedience in Christ Jesus. I choose to destroy all arguments and pretensions that are setting themselves up against Your knowledge! You will fill me with joy in Your presence. Father God, forgive me for not staying in Your presence this morning. Forgive me for turning aside to walk in the flesh, to get my eyes off of Christ and onto me myself and I! Father, thank You for this morning while I spent time in Your Word, joy filled me spirit, and I could literally feel prayers being sent up on my behalf from the saints that You have surrounded me with. I smiled. I thanked You. with eternal pleasures at Your right hand. Father God, thank You for the pleasures of a right mind, a right attitude, right words spoken over my life and my family. Thank You for NEVER giving up on me NOR leaving me in the state of pity party that I could have with me myself and I.
So now I'm choosing to get up, wash up, dress up and out the door I go with hubby to do grocery shopping. Run a few errands, than come home and get busy making my house a home.
I'm choosing to walk in the fruits of the Spirit today. Galatians 5:22. I am choosing to think on thoughts of Philippians 4:8.
What are you choosing today? What will your attitude be like today, your thoughts, your words, and your actions?
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22
Thy Kingdom come on earth Father as it is in Heaven.
amen amen amen

Live not in what has happened, or fear of what may come tomorrow. Live Well! in the here and now, and treat this as your defining moment.
This is in my little box today on the side bar. Thank You Jesus!
I'm choosing to love instead of hate...obedience instead of rebellion...Jesus instead of satan, amen? Love ya girl...wish you would've called me last night. Call me today when you've got a sec.
Love ya mucho!
Paula, I choose to wallow in the shrewness thank you very much...LOL. ((hugs)) Just getting ready to go grocery shopping hon..will call later.
Wow, I just tried to comment and it didn't work, lol. Oh well, here goes again.
Sounds like you're having "a day", for sure. I feel for ya, I surely do. Been there, done that...constantly, lol.
Well if you'd like, I'll say some prayers for you today (in between fighting with a spitting, screaming 7 yr old, lol.)
love ya sis!
dove
I get that way at 'that time of the month" too. It can be really hard.
At least you are working though it. Not giving up. Good for you!
I had to giggle when you mentioned the Fruits of The Spirit. Tony is doing his confirmation this spring and he came home the other day and said.."It's so STUPID! We have to study all this stuff for Confirmation. Somthing about the Spirit of Fruits!" ... I had to laugh...
Hope you are feeling better soon!
Hugs..

Hey, when you get into menopause, you won't have pms anymore. Not to say that you won't have mood swings, but it is not as intense. Fa-get about it! LOL!
((((HUGS)))))
ginny
Well, Dove, let me tell ya, God has answered your prayers. So far my day has been 'wiping off the dust' Isaiah 52:2..God has been so amazing. I'll try to post the videos of what I did this morning, and also in the afternoon ...((hugs)) Hope your day is going well .
Hey Laura..((hugs)) I loved that comment that your son made..the Spirit of the fruits...I alwasy think of the nine traits of the Spirit in the image of fruit also. My diningroom was done in all fruits when we first moved here so that the writing on the wall Galatians 5:22 would show the meaning, and display the fruit..
I'm doing SO much better..I kept calling out to Jesus, praying to God and asking for forgivness for a wrong attitude and heart. God is good!!
Hey Ginny,,your prezzie it out in the mail girl. Mailed it today!! ((hugs)) Thanks for stopping by girl...and good,,won't be that big a shrew than will I? lol
I just love how real you are! Thank you for sharing when you struggle. I've had a mixed day. Not exactly shrew-like, just having fearful thoughts again. :-/ I really needed to read something good and I found it here! :-D
Susanne, I will tell you, this week my thought life was REALLY struggling. I realized today that I was not 'fasting from foreboding thoughts' It's a bible study that we have been working on since September. I have usually been very consistent with taking those negative, fearful thoughts captive, saying in my mind, sometimes outloud, "Lord, I'm fasting from these thoughts, they have no place in a child of Your's". It dawned on me this morning that I have become weak, lazy, not mindful on how important it is to NOT even start meditating for a few minutes any negativity! It creeps up REAL fast and takes a HOLD,right around your heart, your mind, your neck, your breath and sucks the living life out of ya!!
Sooooooooo..I'm back to working out my faith muscles and destroying all those arguments and pretensions that sets themselves up against the knowledge of God, and taking captive those thoughts and bringing them to the obedience of Christ Jesus!!
I praise God He was able to minister to you and touch your heart my beloved sister.
Ha, ha.... better go check my blog. Someone posted about you just now. ;-)

Thanks so much for your words!
Ang, again here I see a picture of myself when I WAS PMSing! Can definately relate. It's our body going thru changes. I used to be like, God when I get to heaven I want to ask You why You made us this way! Then I realised when we're there it won't matter & we won't even remember it in His Glory!
Lois,,((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))
Hugs back to you!!
