Hi Ladies! I hope you are all doing well. This chapter is only 3 pages long. We will only read chapter 6 this week to give others a chance to catch up. I'm really enjoying all of the comments! Keep it up!
Be Blessed!

So...where do I start? Good thing we had a short chapter this week. A week of spring break, Kaitlyn being sick, and a house of arguing kids...how did I make it through last week?
Let me tell you how many times I have laughed at Joyce or how many times I felt like throwing this book in the fireplace and laugh while it burned. Yes ladies, this is hitting to close to home for me.
I was not always a negative person. I was not always a VERY impatient person (just a little impatient). I was not always so irritable. What has happened to me? Good Lord!!
I have no patience these days. I am easy to anger. I have no tolerance when kids are just being kids. I have turned into an almost grumpy 30 year old. UGH!!
Maybe this should of been posted under prayer request. LOL!! Bottom line, this book is ruffling my feathers and I don't like it...lol!! Love you ladies!!

I try to practice deciding to believe and deciding to trust God. But I was surprised to learn that there are battles in the mind beyond decision. This is where we can help each other by praying for each other if one of us finds ourself bound by a mind-binding spirit. I can't make it without the rest of the Body of Christ. Grandma Linda
Be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil. 4:6,7
Sooooo...what do you do when that doesn't work???
...the (Holy) Spirit comes to our aid and bears us up in our weakness; for we do not know what prayer to offer nor how to offer it worthily as we ought, but the Spirit Himself goes to meet our supplication and pleads in our behalf with unspeakable yearnings and groanings too deep for uttererance. Ro. 8:26
ISN'T THAT GREAT!!!
As I learn to Honor His voice in my heart and not in my head of trying to figure everything out, I can trust in the Holy Spirit to always be there to teach, instruct, lead and comfort me as I grow in more intimacy with Him.
Thank God, He didn't leave all of this to ourselves but gave us A Helper!
Indeed...you have to DECIDE to believe. I find that my problem is I get distracted and busy. So busy that I'm forgetting to "decide to believe" and before I know it I'm battling negative thoughts and really feeling stressed out. I am really in the thick of things right now. With moving and both of my boys have been sick this week and then I started getting sick. I noticed myself feeling really burdened and THEN I remembered to "cast my worries upon the Lord". I'm trying to learn to be proactive instead of reactive. But I know God is good and He will carry us through.
