Rejoice in the Lord always, again I say rejoice. Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Philippians 4:4-6
The peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
The peace of God which transcends all human and worldly understanding will guard...
Do I feel like rejoicing always?
Of course not.
But I have decided!
Do I feel like being gentle in all circumstances?
Hello people, remember who is writing this here...
The one who's motto used to be, 'you mess with me I mess with you.'
The one that has LOTS of messy people around her!
But I have decided!
Do I feel like not being anxious?
I counted seven birds attacking this woman's mind.
She got off easy as far as I'm concerned!
But I have decided!
Do I feel like praying for everything?
The one that wants everyone to just 'get with the program' so my life would be easier?
But I have decided!
Do I feel like being thankful?
Need I remind you she ONLY has seven birds peaking at her mind!
If you could ONLY see into the spiritual realm of my mind and what's buzzing around there, trying to get the upper hand.
But I have decided!
Last night as Randy and I were coming home from working out at the YMCA, I was 'talkin' to the Lord and going through some things. Like a mini devotional happening in my head to write about. Tossing it to the Lord and seeing what He thought.
I was 'saying'...
I'm sick of being sick.
Than I felt the Holy Spirit rise up within me, telling me.
Angela, your still sick if your sick of being sick..
"Your right!"
"I'm DONE with being sick."
Much better Angela.
"I've decided, I'm determined! No more. I'm done with being sick."
Even better Angela.
So precious ones, I'm done!
I've decided!
I WILL rejoice in the Lord always.
Again, I'm telling you...
I WILL rejoice.
I have decided to let my gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near and He will definitely guide my actions. He will steer me on the right course.
I have decided to pray pray pray pray!
I have decided to be thankful.
My goodness gracious, God IS good. No matter what I have been facing, that does not diminish HOW good God is!
Let the hearts of those rejoice who seek the Lord! Seek the Lord and His strength; yearn for and seek His face and to be in His presence continually! (Earnestly) remember the marvelous deeds which He has done, His miracles, and the judgments He uttered.
1 Chronicles 16:10-12
Like the song goes..
count your blessings, name them one by one.
Thy Kingdom come Father God on earth as it is in heaven.
amen amen amen

Amen, amen and amen!! I'm done with being sick...sick thinkin', sick acting. I will rejoice always. I'm not waiting for a scale to show me that I've truly been set free. I AM free, it doesn't matter if I weigh 145 or 130, I AM free indeed!!! I think this comment will be a post on my blog, lol.
Paula is sounding a little Martin Luther King up there, isn't she? LOL
Beautiful post. I'm sick of being sick too.
I remember hearing somewhere.. just act the way you want to be and sooner or later you really WILL be that way.
To be more loving, grateful, at peace.. those are the things I wish for myself.
((Hugs))

Great post. Thanks for sharing.
Good decision making, Ang. Amen! Who wants to continue to deal with a sick soul.
"There is a balm in Gilead, to heal the sin sick soul....."
Beautiful! God has given you such a way of the expression of your heart and His Word! I make a commitment to stop focusing on "sick", I am tired of it to! God has so much more waiting for us! We are free, IF we choose to be that way! Love you, Sister!
I'm So sick and tired of being sick AND tired. But, I cannot seem to say I'm done with it. It's a weakness right now, i"m hoping it'll turn around soon, though!
Happy New Year, Angela!
the mind is a powerful thing..because frankly HE resides there..so in HIM (our mind) we CAN DO ALL THINGS!!!
Praise the LORD! You have been set free..now remember this ;)
