Anger

"The root of anger is the perception that something has been taken. Something is owed to you. And now a debt-to-debtor relationship has been established."

We should really stop to think about this: "How long are you going to allow the people who have hurt you to control your life?"

Image result for Root of AngerWhen we stay angry, upset, in a rut, in our feelings...we are giving up our power, we are giving our energy and our healing ability away. We are giving up control.

Why would we want to give that kind of authority over to anyone who has abused, mistreated, manipulated or harmed us? 

This is written in God's word repeatedly for a reason: "forgive them seventy times seventy. And remember them or the harm they've done no more." 

Forgive, clean out the clutter and press forward. It's not for them, it's for you.

Patience

"being strengthened with all power  according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience  (Colossians 1:11)." It's so easy to lose our patience during difficulties or stressful situations. It's also easy to take those frustrations out on others.  This scripture reminds me to continuously ask for patience which can be given in abundance... Allowing me to be wise in my dealings and speech when under fire/stress/pressure.  Breathe in patience and exhale kindness!

This Thing with Superfoods

Image
I keep reading that Superfoods are great for your body. Are they really?  Well, they are all natural and filled with many nutrients that our bodies crave but don’t receive. They in fact are nutrient powerhouses that pack large doses of goodness, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It turns out eating them may reduce the risk of chronic disease, and prolong life, and people who eat more of them are healthier and thinner than those who don't. So, they really are great for the body. As good as they are for us:  be wise and eat them in moderation.  Some top superfood add ins I found to be great adds to my smoothies: Chia Seeds These do-it-all super-seeds are good for your head with their high content of omega fatty acids that increase healthy brain function, but have also proven to be good for your heart by fighting high cholesterol and heart disease. They even boast a wide variety of nutrients, such as: protein, fiber, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, iron, c...

Know Your Pace

Image
God says: "There is a pace I set for you, a pace where you feel most at home, I want you to find it and keep hold of it, it holds great promise and reward. It is a pace that doesn't require you to rush to get to the finish line, it's a pace that doesn't stress you or cause you to worry...it's a pace that allows you to get to where I intended for you to be at the time I have set for you to get there." Trust that! "Trust that God is with you and wants to do things together with you where you don’t have to race to keep up."  I have learned that if you are racing, it's clearly outside of the rhythm God has placed within your heart and that's why you're not happy or content when you finally reach the finish line. "The race is not given to the swift or the strong...it's given to the humble and patient."  Remember the story: "the tortoise and the hare."  Everything has purpose!
