I Want – I Think – I Feel

Are we living by what we know? Or are we living by the emotions of I want? I think? I feel?

When my mind wanders, I start stirring my stuff. After a while, I can’t separate the good stuff from the bad stuff. In my mind, the bad stuff gets worse and the good stuff disappears and all I can think about is how awful my life is.

 I dwell on bad memories, feel sorry for myself and wonder why no one else wants to listen to my stuff. When I think of my stuff, I get mad, angry and depressed, —-so I think of my stuff some more—- so that I can feel worse and enjoy my little pity party.

My husband did die, but now he lives with Jesus Christ, and someday, I will see him again. 

Oh, I was DAZED for a while, but the life that I live now is the life that God gave me and I choose to rejoice in it. We have a choice. How then shall we live?
