My Marvelous Monday Morning...

***Introducing Marvelous Mind Mondays***

This morning, I was awakened out of my sleep by a sudden, loud knocking on the door!  At least I thought it was knocking…was I dreaming? 

It’s so interesting that I shared yesterday that starting today, I would start my 28 days of trusting God fully.  Then this happens.  My anxiety started to kick in.  My heart was racing. I even went and grabbed Ava out of her bed so she could sleep next to me.  I prayed. I called Roland, so I could share my story with him. I prayed some more. Finally, I was able to rest for a few more minutes before waking up for work.  I contemplated staying home so I could “rest”, but I refused to allow the devil to have any type of credit. I prayed asking God to keep my mind. I was going to work!  I was going to walk fearless! I prayed some more as I was waiting on the train! I was going to give him complete control! 

Whether or not that truly was a knocking at the door that early in the morning, I will never know. But what I do know is that God is regulating my mind as we speak. 

So many people think it's so taboo to talk about the mind (i.e. counseling, therapy, depression, anxiety, etc.), but it's really not. The thoughts that go through our minds sometimes has a direct influence on people's life and their actions.  Don't allow the negative thoughts of your mind to control your day or your life.  Ephesians 4:23 talks about renewing your mind.  Every Monday, we will focus on feeding your mind happy thoughts so you may achieve your destiny. There are great plans for your life, and positive thoughts will help you get there.  (But know that I will also keep this very real, as mental health is a very serious matter.)

Have a Marvelous Monday!!!
