let today be today


When I look back over the past week I have so many great things to be thankful for. The #1 thing that comes to mind is that I went on a CRUISE with 7 of my friends!!  It was such a blast...every single minute!!!
This was one of the greatest vacations ever!!
Today was back to business. I feel as though a lot has been thrown at me today, and if I'm honest it has been a hard day. I restarted this blog as a tool to help me seek the positive. To see the good that is around everyday if we just take the time to look. To record the blessing of a mighty God in my life. To record the beauty of Love rushing into my life. Today it has been hard to see the goodness. It has been hard to look past the negative. It has been hard to believe that where I am in life is not where I will aways be. What has helped me get through today has been this verse...
In the swarm of anxious thoughts and negative feels you have to tell yourself to STOP. You have to tell yourself to slow down. Don't take yourself so seriously. Let the past be the past, tomorrow be tomorrow and let today be a day that you grow closer to Love. Being still and just knowing that God is God, that he is who he says he is, is enough. Today I am thankful for the reminder that to get rid of the negativity I need to sit down, take a deep breath and remind myself of who I belong to...I belong to God.
Here is some of my #selftalk today
I belong to God. God loves me unconditionally. God wants me to have a life of joy and peaceALL my significance is found in Him. ALL my security is found in Him. My significance is NOT caught up in anyone but GOD. To get through today do the next moment in love. I belong to God. He is more than enough. I belong to God.
I need to have the phrase "I belong to God" tattooed onto every part of my DNA!
