Looking in...

G o o d M o r n i n g 

g o r g e o u s! 

Last night, I watched a documentary on Marilyn Monroe and as we all know her life was miserable on the inside.  From the outside looking in she was somewhat successful.  

There've been seasons in my life where I was so down I didn't know how to get out of it- but I did.  One bad thought would spiral into a bad few hours which would turn into a bad week of stinking thinking and then a season of negative thoughts.

Being so far away (physically and emotionally) looking in its easy to see how Satan would condemn me when I had a bad thought and instead of looking to pappa I'd "hang my head in shame".  

It brought some encouragement to know that some famous artists/actresses battled with depression or bio polar.  I also had to leave it there and say although that defined them and they still made an impact on the world at large my story doesn't have to go like that.  

Years down the line it's easy to adjust a negative thought and some days I've already been thinking negatively and then I have to adjust the negative feelings.  

Medically speaking having an underactive thyroid would also add to the mix of low energy levels and could turn into bad choices.  God has been healing that and the tests show that.  With positive thinking, Healthy eating and God on my side all things are possible! 

When it comes to eating healthily or even missing a workout Id hear those words "Ah! you always mess up.  You've skipped one work out you may as well just give up now".  Its not that those words aren't there anymore it's just that I don't listen to them anymore.  

Its true... Laughter is the best medicine.

God sits on his throne laughing at the enemy and his predictable lies.  

Let's laugh together at the lies of the enemy because looking in on a Christian is looking into a temple of God and that my friend is truly magnificent!
