~Renew & Take Captive~

Some of you may have read the following already if we are friends on Facebook...

I am taking bits of verses to my heart and mind...Romans 12:2..."...be transformed by the renewal of your mind."...2 Corinthians 10:5..."...and take every thought captive to obey Christ." Those bits from those verses have been my prayer lately. It's easy for my mind to get bogged down and fogged with my adventure with cancer. But God's word tells me to renew my mind and to take every thought captive...so, I honestly turn my mind over to Jesus. He renews it and takes any negative thoughts captive! I am so thankful that He loves me so much to clear my mind and fill it with Joy and Peace! 

I read something today that touched my soul...

Walk with Me to learn to trust Me more. Let Me show you what I see when I look at you. Let Me calm you, as you keep your eyes on Me. Let Me be your familiar place, your source of energy and inspiration and passion and joy. 

Let Me reveal in you more of Me, more of the true, unharnessed beautiful, wild you who is unafraid of what comes next because I will be what’s next. 

I am what’s next, child.

Don’t worry about details regarding how to live your life safely. Simply choose to be trained by Me. I am your coach, your teacher, your rest, your energy, your drive, your passion, your fire, your water and food and air. 

I am it. 

Lay yourself down again. 

I am here. 

With you. 

You waste this life with fear.

Read that again...all of it...S L O W L Y!!!Focus on each break/thought...walk with ME (pause/reflect)learn to trust ME more (pause/reflect)...Let me show you what I see when I look at you (pause/reflect)....read each sentence or thought in that manner....maybe even whisper your thoughts to Jesus after each pause/reflection...thanking Him...or asking for His help in an area. He is your dearest and closest friend.

He does renew my mind daily as I ask for Him to do so daily...He takes my thoughts captive so that I mentally focus on His Peace and Joy...LIFE with and in Him. He is  my LIFE! He is who I live for! I can have some pretty rough mental times when I don't allow Him to take my mind. When He takes my mind...I honestly feel "light" (heavenly?) headed! My focus is on WHAT I can do for Him...what I can do for others...I am so thankful that He wants to renew my mind and make my thoughts more like His.

I am posting a song here that his my soul the other day. It's only about 3 minutes...PLEASE take the time to listen to it!

God bless!
