The other nite I went on a nite out without him ... right now he's working out-of-town and was unavailable for me to escape to while Ree had her birthday get-together.
Went to the Beau Rivage.... never been there before. Halfway thru the evening, began to wonder why am I here???? The band was okay ... the crowd was single women or couples all over 50 looking closer to 60. ... Old heads ... with old lines ....
Should have just gone to my mom's but I did want an evening out. Haven't been out since 44 took me to the Hard Rock. This nite wasn't like that since 44 wasn't with me. Called it in early.
I came to the conclusion that I do want to share the evenings out with him ... the nite was empty.
Felt alot better as soon as the journey began towards home, my bed and in between my sheets.
I miss 44 and look forward to his return.
I need to find a hobby. Something to occupy my time and interest.
Lord, I pray for widening of territory. Use me in an area where I may be needed.
| TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
Many people today don’t realize that the reason they’re
not happy, the reason they’re not enjoying life is simply because they’ve
trained their minds in the wrong direction. They’ve trained their minds to
worry. They’ve trained their minds to complain. They’ve trained their minds to
see the negative. But just as you can form these negative mindsets, you can
retrain your mind according to the Word of God and form godly mindsets.
I believe one of the main keys to retraining your mind
and developing a positive attitude is by learning to stay grateful. When you
stay grateful, you are focusing on what’s right rather than what’s wrong. The
seed of the Word takes root in the good ground of your heart. This doesn’t
happen automatically, you have to discipline yourself. You have to make a
conscious effort every single day until a good habit is formed.
Remember, when you live with an attitude of praise and
thanksgiving, you are shielding yourself from the attacks of the enemy. The
seeds of discouragement cannot take root in a grateful heart. Neither can
bitterness, envy or strife. So today, retrain your mind and be empowered with
His strength to overcome in every area of your life!

| A PRAYER FOR TODAY |
| Father in heaven, today I surrender my thoughts and mind to You. Help me retrain my thoughts so that they are in line with Your Word. I choose to have an attitude of faith and expectancy and thank You for empowering me to live the life You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen. |

Love you always,
