Combating Lies with Truth.

Hello Blogger world.

Over the course of a few days I have hit some really interesting highs and lows. Since these things have been happening, I have been spending a lot of time trying to defragment my brain. Starting Sunday morning is when the defragment started and finally came to a pivotal moment today. Like anything else in my life, I want to share with you the things that have been going on. But a 4 paragraph blog isn't going to be enough.

Sunday morning I woke up and had to go to church without my husband. Since he's the sound guy, I had to step up to the plate and make sure everything was up correctly so the praise and worship team could practice. I took the week off so that I could focus on set up and not be overwhelmed on Sunday morning. I was getting dressed and picked out a shirt. Those who know me know 2 things about me. 

1. I NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT MY SUNGLASSES ON MY HEAD. NEVER. For 16 years it's been this way and I have the indentions in my head to prove it.

2. I always wear a tank top under any clothes I wear. All this streaming back to my teen mania days when DRESS MODEST was shoved down my back pocket.

Sunday morning I didn't have a clean t-shirt to go under my shirt. I was freaking out. I have an issue with my back humps and I like to make myself feel better by pretending my shirt eliminates my back humps. God stopped me on my way out of the bathroom and told me to drop the insecurities and know who I was. 

And that is where it started. Over the next few (like dozen) blog entries I want to talk about knowing what God's word says about us and not what the world says. Proverbs 18 tells us that life and death are in the tongue. We can be a blessing or a curse to ourselves by what we say. I know that in my anger I like to pop off. The things I say create death around me, which has caused me to become an introverted shell of who God created me to be. I want to share with you, while I learn who I am, what God is showing me. That way when you are overwhelmed with negative feelings or emotions, you can speak life to yourself. 

Happy Tuesday!
