A Swift Kick in the BE.HIND

Okay, so I was busy all day today.  I check my voicemail and I have message from my dear Aunt Kelie!  She told me in her message that she hoped her email wasn't too harsh.  So I get home and read her email.  Let me just say...I {heart} her!  She basically gave me a good, swift kick in the be.hind!  Here is some of what she told me...  (hopefully she doesn't kill me for posting this)

Honey (my grandma) loved Charles Swindoll...this is a devotional that I've kept over the years....after reading your blog....I thought maybe it would ease your anxiety....


"thoughts are the thermostat that regulates what we accomplish in life....if I feed my mind upon doubt, disbelief, and discouragement...that is precisely the kind of day my body will experience...if I adjust my thermostat forward to thoughts filled with vision, vitality, and victory....I can count on that kind of day....thus, you and I become what we think about "



It's Honey's words...to me over and over........In Phillipians 4:6.....don't worry about anything....PRAY about everything......



I use to tell her......"but, I'd be spending all my time on my knees"....and she'd come right back at me...with "SOOOOOO? " hahaha

we all need someone to LISTEN........but....be filled with gratitude........we've had a million blessings this past year.....


So rise up and rock on....girl......!!

Can you see why I {heart} her!!
Thank you Aunt Kelie!
