'A New Day..Time to Start Again'

I have noticed that sometimes my heart feels so crusty and tired and cold...And at others, I am the opposite...I feel encouraged, hopeful and warm.

I wonder what makes one day so different than the next?
Is it where we place our thoughts and where we allow our hearts to dwell??

Honestly, there are some days...
I just don't want to be around 'my own kind' (ie; people).
I would rather sit quietly, read a book or watch birds fly across the sky or pet the cats or walk our puppy around the neighborhood....alone!!!..

Other days, I long for friendship, a visit or phone call from my nieces, sister, friends or family.
I am thinking that it was a cold crusty, bill colectin' kind of day when the phrase 'call screening' originated from someone who just could not be bothered.

At any rate, I like myself better when my heart is in tune and at peace.

So, in an effort to move past the feelings that change from one day to the next.
I am choosing to capture my thoughts and make them obedient to Christ.

We are in a battle!!
The enemy of our souls is trying to wear us down.
When we choose to fill our minds...with the true, pure, and lovely (Phillipains 4)..,
..we change the course of any given day through the power of Christ ...
 2 Corinthians 2:5   
"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"

Demolish!!
Take Captive!!
Make it Obedient!!

We have a choice..
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!

Will you join me in this journey toward freedom??...
Advice from King Solomon:
Proverbs 4:23
"Be careful what you think, because your thoughts run your life"

Today is a new day....It is time to start over!!
