Listen to Your Heart
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: ”The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips” (Proverbs 16:23, NKJV)
TODAY’S WORD: (taken from from Joel and Victoria Osteen’s website) Choosing your words is very important. The scripture tells us that life and death are in the power of the tongue. You can bless your future with your words, or you can curse it. God Himself spoke the worlds into existence by the creative power of words. There are many influences over our words. In the heat of the moment, we can let our emotions tell us what to say. We can listen to what others say and allow them to influence our words. We can even be influenced by what we watch on TV, the internet, or read in the news. But notice what today’s verse tells us that a wise person does—a wise person listens to their heart and lets their heart teach them what to say. As a believer, when you listen to your heart, you are tuning in to what the Spirit of God is saying to you. You are coming into agreement with Him. Today, listen to your heart. Take time to be still and quiet before the Lord. Allow Him to teach you what to say. As you submit your words and ways to Him, He will direct your path. A PRAYER FOR TODAY: Father God, thank You for giving me power in the words of my mouth. Help me to stay tuned into You by listening to my heart. Teach me to use my words to always speak life and bless others. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Hello Friends,
Forgive the cut and paste – and if I have offended any of you with “religiosity” – again, forgive me. I felt compelled to share this today for a couple of reasons:
1. To show you all that I have moved on from that last blog. Ugh. I was in a PLACE! It’s so crazy how sometimes you let your environment ruin you. I’m not sure I saw it coming. I knew I’d been feeling a certain kind of way – with all of the stress I’d been experiencing in the last several months – but when I realized how angry and stuck I was I had to stop and just be…
2. I realize that no matter how we access our words – our thoughts, our voice or even a written word – we can direct our moods, our actions, and how we interact with people. And, if it’s all negative – then how are we best serving ourselves?
3. My prayer, wish, mediation for all of us today is to be positive. Think it. Speak it. Be it.
I trust in the spiritual laws and while sometimes we become wayward – the universe is there waiting for us to return to order, to realign our selves and become centered again.
So, for all of us (today and always) – onward and upward.
An order has been placed.
