April 10: LET GRACE BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK

Affirmation: I am capable of doing anything I choose. I trust my intuition and faith in God.

“…Spirit of truth, will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.”‭‭John‬ ‭16:13‬ ‭NIV‬‬~~~~~~Ponder:1“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2.He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. ‭‭Psalm‭ 23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Mastering the 7 Decisions from Andy Andrews 

The Responsible Decision 

Build the habit of Taking Responsibility for your life. I have choices and those choices lead me down a path…if it is not the path I want or expected, I can make a new choice because I am in the habit of taking responsibility for my decisions.

The Buck Stops Here!

Each of you must be responsible to do your creative best with your life. Gal. 6:4

If decisions are choices…and our thinking dictates our decisions—then I am where I am because of my thinking.

The Responsible Decision for Personal Success represents the beginning. Taking responsibility for your past will segue you into an extraordinary future of your choosing.

My thoughts will be constructive---NEVER destructive.

Responsibility is about HOPE and Control. Make better choices.

LET GRACE BLOW YOUR HAIR BACK LIKE YOUR HEAD'S OUT THE WINDOW. 

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 

PSALM 95:4-5 

I love it when I'm driving down the road and see a big, shaggy dog with its head out the window, tongue flapping in the wind. It seems so free to me, so unconcerned and pure. Maybe I love it so much because I used to do it as a kid. I would stick my head out the window as far as my seat belt would let me and squint my eyes as the wind roared past, pretending I was flying like Superman or sprinting like the Flash. 

Looking back, what I loved most· about it was the pure feeling of being completely enveloped by the world around me. I think God created the world with so much beauty to remind us about Himself And He gave us the senses to take it all in. We'll never be able to wrap our minds around His extravagant love, so He gave us mountains and oceans and told us to go swim and jump and climb and, yes, put our heads out the window a couple of times. We'll never understand how grace holds us, so He gave us the wind and said to let it brush against our faces. 

God is everywhere if we have the eyes to see Him. We feel His Spirit when we listen to a symphony and sense His kindness in the eyes of a newborn baby. Whenever the words we use to talk about God start to get jumbled, it's time to step outside the words and into His world. Let grace blow your hair back like your head's out the window. 

As you look around your surroundings, what signs do you see of God's presence?
