Our thoughts

I've just been thinking alot about our thoughts. So, I found a few verses about the matter:

Whoever gives thought to the word will discover good,
and blessed is he who trusts in the Lord. Proverbs 16:20

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.
Philippians 4:8

Our thoughts can be so poisonous to us, and then we wallow in self-pity instead of thinking the TRUTH about how "fearfully and wonderfully" we are made(Psalm 139:14) and created in HIS image(Genesis 1:27) not our own.

To "repent" means to change our way of thinking. So, when we become a Christian and ask Jesus to live inside our heart, we also ask Him to forgive our sins and we "repent". As it says in Romans 12:2
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

So, examine your thoughts today. Are they the TRUTH(the "truth" is God's Word) or are you being poisoned by your own thoughts(lies from the enemy)?

Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! Psalm 139:23

Fell off the "blog" wagon

Hello blog world! I have SUPER slacked on writing my blog. Our lovely laptop is on it's last leg, giving us the "blue screen of death" when we turn it on. To add to it, our power cord to it broke :(

So, I am trying this new app out because I LOVE blogging and I miss it. I thought it may be too much to write a blog using my IPhone, but I may adapt pretty quickly.

Until later...

Attempted Walk with the Dogs

This morning turned out to be a cloudy, cool morning. So, I thought I would take J-man for a walk. I also thought I should let the dogs come with us. One is an 8-year old German Shepard/Golden Retriever mix. The other is a 2-year old Border Collie Mix. Usually, I wait until Brian is home so he can walk the dogs while I push the stroller. But, I thought they needed a  walk and I could probably handle it if I attach one leash to the other.

I was wrong...

We didn't even make it down the first street before I had to turn around and take the dogs home.

Here is what happened: The dogs LOVE to go on walks! They get a little hyper when we take them on one. Well, we were passing one of our neighbor's house, and you could hear their dogs barking. Well, the German Shepard kept wanting to go over there, even though you could not see them. I kept telling him, "NO!", but as usual...he NEVER listens to me. Plus he weighs probably 75 pounds. So, I'm trying to hold the leash and the stroller, and he keeps pulling us towards the barking dogs. I should have thought to let go of the stroller. I didn't. So, the stroller ended upside down and I was MAD! J-man was buckled in (YAY 5-point harness!) and he wasn't even crying. I was more freaked out then he was. So, then we turned around and took the dogs home. After they were back home and unleashed, J-man and I went back out for our walk. It was a little drizzly so we didn't make it to the park.

Next time I go for a walk with J-man, I may take the Border Collie mix with us because she is lighter (around 40 pounds) and listens to me better. But, I know the German Shepard would be really depressed if he was left behind...so I don't know. Or I could just wait until Brian gets home from work and we all go together! :)
