Random Thoughts...

Interesting that I haven't posted here in so long... of course mostly because life has been good. Most of my hypergraphia occurs during periods of depression. When life is comfortable it is as if the urge to write wans and I am content reading instead of writing... wierdo I know.

So my random thoughts for the day...

I was contemplating things with my little house today. I officially do not like this house. I am overwhelmed by all the little things in it that just don't work right. I dislike that it does not function with our family. Now I know it is in part because we are dysfunctional as a whole... but most of this is just the way the house is designed. It was not built to house 7 people of various ages, both sex's with multiple interests and hobbies. It just does not work for us.

So my random thought for the day is HOW do we get out of this house and into a bigger, more efficient home for our little family????

Life is so...

1 Corinthians 10:13
The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure.

A rather interesting thought came to me tonight...

I was struggling with a situation, knowing what the right thing was to do but really wanting to do the wrong thing. It wasn't to be disobediant to God that was I considering the wrong thing. It was because it felt better than doing the right thing. In doing the wrong thing, I would have been receiving the things I felt missing.

In the end, I knew I had to do the right thing.

I love God so very much and I want to do what is right in His eyes, so I knew that if I gave into the temptation to do the wrong thing, God would be hurt and other people could be hurt as well.

The way out of the temptation I was feeling was simple ~ just turn away and go focus on the good in my life instead of the negative in my life.

I have been convicted in my heart of the truth of Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.

It is in focusing on these things that our lives are made perfect and whole.

In 2 Corinthians 10:5 it tells us "We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

It is truth that if we focus on the positives in our lives, take our thoughts and make them obedient to Christ, it takes away the control Satan has in our life to tempt us.
