The Next Chapter ~ May 29, 2012

The Next Chapter

Today I focus on my school work and particularly on my Positive psychology class.  Interestingly I have to write an entry in a journal each week as part of my assignments, and this week is thoughts and feelings / negative and postive.   For this week's journal, I need to write about how it felt to pay attention to my thoughts and feelings? Did I notice any patterns or themes? Also, write at least three examples of negative thoughts I  had over the last week and discuss how I made them more positive.  Wow, what a task!  I hate to say it but I have negative thoughts everyday.  I sometimes wake up with them..... Like DANG that STUPID alarm is going off again!  Or Merry/Jack time to get up for the 100th time.....! Is there a pattern?  What can I change to combat these negative moments?  Then it hits me.....  All I need and I continuely remind myself is GOD.  When I start my day, no matter what time with the Armour of God, I am outfitted for the battle of the day.  Spiritually Dressed For Success

Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armour of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled round your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. ~  Eph 6:10-17


Chris Tomlin - Praise the Father, Praise the Son

O sov'reign God, O matchless King-
the saints adore, the angels sing
and fall before the throne on grace
to you belongs the highest praise.

These sufferings, this passing tide
under Your wings I will abide,
and every enemy shall flee;
You are my hope and victory.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace
the name above all other names.

To the valley, for my soul;
Thy great descent has made me whole!
You word my heart has welcomed home;
now peace like water ever flows.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace
the name above all other names.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace
the name above all other names.

Yours is the kingdom,
yours is the power.
Your is the glory forever.
Yours is the kingdom,
yours is the power.
Your is the glory forever.

Praise the Father, Praise the Son.
Praise the Spirit, Three in One.
Clothed in power and in grace
the name above all other names.
The name above all other names.
