Happy Tuesday EVERYONE! I hope that you are having a great day on purpose! Before I get started with my post, I just have to do this!
Okay. Now that we have gotten our Tuesday evening laugh, onto my post.....
I believe it was Sunday, I was watching Oprah's Life Class and she had Joel Oelsteen as her guest. I'm sure you all know who he is. Well they were discussing some really great topics and two of them that I truly loved was 'Whatever follows I AM is going to come looking for you.' This pierced my mind like a dagger. I said, that is so true! Not only do we have to watch what we speak about other people, we need to watch what we speak about ourselves. They gave examples like when we say 'I'm so fat, I'm so broke, I'm so tired, I'm so stupid, I'm a failure' We have to change and counteract those thoughts that become words into something positive. I'm going to get healthier everyday, I'm going to be wealthy or I don't have it at the moment, but it's coming, I'm going to get some strength, I'm going to get some rest so I can be rejuvenated, I'm smart, I can learn that, I am going to be successful' The Bible speaks that the power of life and death is in the tongue, Proverbs 18:21. So get into the practice of filling your mouth with LIFE!
The second thing they said that really hit home was 'nobody can beat you at being you' He said when he took over his father's church, he wanted to walk in his dad's footsteps, he wanted to be like him, preach like him, etc. until he discovered that's not who Joel is. Even Oprah said, she wanted to be Barbara Walters so she set out to do things like Barbara Walters until she realized, Barbara has Barbara down packed, I need to figure out Oprah. Truth of the matter is YOU are YOU for a reason and a purpose. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. You have your own identity, gifts and talents and you have to use them the way God wants them use. Develop your identity, your true self. Stop trying to fit into someone else's clothes. Never desire someone else's glory, you don't know their story. You have your OWN story to tell. Your own book to write, your own journey to travel. It's going to occupy enough of your time if you are truly determined to reach your destiny. Be You!
Until next post 5B's to You All
