Self Control

I was finally able to get to one of Joyce Meyer's sessions at her conference that she had here this pas weekend. What a wonderful service led by Hillsong and to hear what the Lord spoke through Joyce. She spoke on self control and oh what a wonderful word I needed to hear. In order to keep this blog short, here are a few points and some verses to meditate on....
The way you leave one place is the way you enter another. (say you turn in your 2 weeks notice at work and those last 2 weeks you just coast by to end this position - well when you start your new job you will have the same attitude of just coasting by)
She spoke about our mouths and how we should control them.
1. How you talk about yourself and your future (never say negative or disrespectful things about yourself, line your mouth up with the word- who are we to disrespect the creation of God (we were created by God and if we speak these things about ourselves, we are disrespected God))
2. Control your mouth by how you talk about God
3. Control your mouth by how you talk about other people
4. Lastly, be careful how you talk during trials and tribulations
And here are some verses....
Proverbs 6:2, 8:6-8, 10:12, 19

And a few steps to self control...
Make a plan and then set your mind and keep it set on what God wants

Hopefully that made some sense, as it is hard to keep it all brief and it make sense???
May you all have a blessed week!
And lastly, I have finally been able to put up a pic of J's new ride!! God is good!!
