- NO TV for 40 Days - this is big for me
- Pray - mornings, evenings and even when I wake up in the middle of the night
- Read the Word of God - I have applied my TV time to reading the word of God
- Do Something Nice for my Husband - any thing I come up with that he would like
- Watch my Thoughts - stay focus on the Lord and how He sees people with compassion, understanding and love
- My House Work - I had to add it to the list to make sure I get it done during the week and have my weekends free
- My Mouth - I need to make sure that what comes out of my mouth are blessings
The other day a women came into my office and just by looking at her it was known that something spiritually was not right. It was difficult to communicate with her; her mind was too far gone. At that moment, the Lord prompt me to repent of my thoughts and to pray for her in my mind and after a few moments, I was able to see something in her I could not see prior to the prayer and my heart became tender for her and my eyes started to become water; God is so wonderful, He allowed me to see His love for her - how He sees her. I do not know if you ever had this experience, but this was a first for me and I felt honored to see God's love for her. Someone I do not know and in poor human condition; a homeless woman living in her car with dirty clothing completely unreachable from a humans point of view - mentally, emotionally and spiritually too far gone from a humans point of view.
