Dear Reader,
Can you believe that this is our sixth edition?
Goodness but these last few months have just
flown by so fast I feel like I need a pause button.
Come to think about it I think I sometimes need
a pause button for my thoughts as well. I have
so many thoughts racing through my head every
day and sometimes I try to explain it to my
husband but he just shakes is head in confusion.
Do you know what I mean? You start of thinking about a chocolate and end up thinking about
time you spent in London, all this in a space of
maybe 2 minutes...
I think all of us (women especially) have loads
of thoughts racing through our minds on a daily
basis. Most of them are to do with kids, family,
friends, shopping, food, the house or work etc.
But then you also get those thoughts that just hit
you like a double whammy out of nowhere.
“I can’t take anymore of this.” “I am not good
enough.” “Why did I ever think I can do anything good?” “I am such a failure”...STOP. When
anything negative tries to overtake your thought
pattern and makes you feel awful about yourself
or that your present circumstances won’t change
and that it defines who you are, you must recognise that those are all lies! Press that pause
button and remember what God has said in His
Word and the promises that He has given you.
1 Corinthians 10:13
“No temptation has overtaken you except what
is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he
will not let you be tempted beyond what you
can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also
provide a way out so that you can endure it.”
Romans 12:2
“Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your
mind.”
Spend time with God, search for His promises
and His will in your life. Actively try and think
positive and when you struggle with negative
thoughts take those thoughts captive, bind them
up and give them to Jesus. You have to make the
conscious decision to say no and focus your mind
on God’s promises.

God bless you,
In Philippians 4:13
“I can do all this through Him who gives me
strength.”
