Great entry from my desktop encouragement....
The key is to choose the right thoughts, to keep your mind set. Not just when you feel good, but even in the tough times of life-especially in the difficult times-you must keep your mind set on the good things of God. Stay Focused. Stay full of faith. Stay full of joy. Stay full of hope. Make a conscious decision that you are going to stay in a positive frame of mind. (Joel Osteen)
So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised. Hebrews 10:35-36
There are so many people in my life that are going through a lot of hard things. I pray this entry over their lives. Life is not easy and God never promised it would be. I have to be someone that chooses to keep my eyes on Jesus and not be moved by the wind...but have my feet planted on the Rock. It is so wild to see my own mind and flesh play tricks on me....to tempt me to choose what I think I want over what I know I need. And EVERYTIME I choose from the "wholes" in my heart instead of what God wants for me....I feel empty. God calls us "saints" or "holy ones"....I need to remember who I am in Christ....and let go of who I am not. Help me Lord to make the decisions I need to make...one day at a time.
My friends and loved ones in Christ...pray for me as I pray for you.

I continue to be amazed at how God is working in almost parallel ways in our lives.
I took that same page from Joels Calandar and put it on a co-workers desk after we had a conversation on how I need to read more positive God stuff to change the negative only junk thats in my head.
Be encouraged sister...It is always too soon to give up on God.
