Ever Gain From Worrying?

Worry makes things seem bigger than they are. 

I am curious, has anyone ever gained from worrying? 

I don't have any record of this. 

Why do we allow our fears and expectations to grow inside of us and gain strength in our minds and hearts? 

Our human nature is prone to this and free will allows this to happen, robbing us of our peace and stealing our energy and focus. 

Did you know that you can trade those worries, fears, and expectations for grace? 

Try this for the next few days. 

Every time you catch yourself building a case for a good worry, write it down on a piece of paper and put it in a drawer that can serve as your God box. 

Tell God the worry is now His and move on with your day! 

You can do this. 

It works….

“There you will find release from care, boredom, and worry.” Big Book pg. 152 

Lord let us fill our God box with our fears, worries, and troubles and leave them with You, allowing us to move forward and see how we can turn our focus to helping others, AMEN. 

 “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7 

Have a blessed day y’all!

Exercising in the Spirit

Exercising in the Spirit. 

It seems that just about everyone has a physical fitness routine they try to follow daily. 

From gym memberships to hiking, biking, or running, most folks I know are doing something daily to keep their bodies healthy and in shape. 

Heck, even I finally traded in "sport-eating" for a real fitness program involving healthy food choices and exercise 5 years ago!

Thanks, Tim Berry, Miss Kim, Miss Jenna, and Dillon! 

The point is that physical fitness involving healthy food choices and exercise is now a part of our culture. 

Being physically healthy is something we need to own but what about our spiritual health? 

How are we building up our spiritual fitness? 

The good news is that it is just like our physical gym... we can keep spiritually fit too. 

Daily time spent in the Word, prayer, as well as frequent contact with other believers, can and does build up our spiritual fitness. 

What does your daily spiritual fitness routine include?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Assuming we are spiritually fit, we can do all sorts of things” Big Book pg 100 

Lord, let us grow spiritually healthy through daily time spent in Your Word and in prayer, AMEN. 

“Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart.” 1Timothy 4:8-9 

Have a blessed day y’all!

Attitude / Outlook Change

Change must come from within… 

It’s such a blessing to be around folks who are sharing the changes they are making in themselves! 

Their positive motivation and encouragement inspire me to continue to work on myself. 

The key word here for me is WORK. 

Maybe your results have been different, but I have not been able to just think my way to positive change within me and my life. 

I have had to provide the needed actions to change my attitudes, beliefs, habits, and behaviors too. 

The blessing for me in all of this activity is that not only do I begin to become the person God intended me to be, but also, I am building new friendships and relationships as I grow. 

How are you bringing change to yourself?.. 

Check your experience… 

“Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.” Big Book pg. 84 

 Lord, let us provide the action and willingness to bring about the needed changes in our lives, AMEN.

 “Get rid of all the sins you have done and get for yourselves a new heart and a new way of thinking.” Ezekiel 18:31 

Have a blessed day y’all!
