What's on your mind?

Hmmm ... this is what I call getting a lot done on my days off.

Rearranged my computer setup so that the tower no longer sits directly beneath the thermostat and messes up its sensor with exhaust (hence why I started playing Saved By the Bell: The College Years, as seen above, for background noise while my computer is off ), and got two chapters of reading Ramona the Brave for my YouTube channel out of the way (I'll send them to you soon, Multifavs ), which I haven't been working on in almost a month before now. ^-^

Yup, that's a productive day off for me.

I feel blessed that all I have is a cold, but it can go away now; I am worn out.

Mother's Day and Papi's Birthday was on a same day yesterday. That is a lot of pressure on a kid, spent the weekend to spoil them both.

Mae and I are planning a trip into the city today, I have a friend who runs a market and gives me discounts if I bring him lunch.

I am thinking I "need" a new dress for a church event later on the week.

Actually that might be a good idea for everyone here to state the challenges - however great or small they may seem in your own eyes - coming up this week that you would like for everyone else to pray for your sake on.

Hopefully at least the people I can think of to tag will see this and be willing to share. ^-^

Thanks for the tag!

I'm dealing with car issues and it's been a while now. It needs to be repaired and sold. And we're going to discuss the repair bills this afternoon but I'm tight on money. Any prayers so that I can handle that situation properly would be appreciated. <3

I'm a male for future references, but thank you!!

Oh thanks for sharing, I thought you were a girl too ^^'

Any excuses to buy a dress is valid haha Get it girl

It's like you have to be perfect.

Not really. But I do truly appreciate your encouragement.

We read them in elementary school. I read a couple a few years ago for fun. I remember them exploring some themes you wouldn't usually see in a children's book.

One I remember: them being poor. They just don't magically get rich like in a lot of children's books.

Growing up is a tough theme for that age too.

Between 3 churches there's not one single girl. Sad

God is sovereign over all.

Sometimes I feel like my mom's already losing it.

For example yesterday I asked her to hand me something, she hands me the wrong thing.

I tell her something a few days ago & she doesn't remember.

Then she forgot she didn't hand me something.

How old is she? God bless her. I'm sorry to hear that.

Good morning everyone,
I work later this afternoon. Right now, I'm trying to get some things done and relax as much as I can.
Thanks to everyone who prayed for me.

I think 60's.

It might just be me overthinking.

Please pray I will find steady employment and will stop drinking. I have multiple other health issues. I need to rely on God now. That is my challenge of this week.

The problem and your threads (prayer and hobbies) are all related. You can’t resolve it through distraction. You need a multi-tiered approach.

You have to see the behavior from God’s perspective. That should inspire confession and repentance. It’s the first step.

Nothing will change unless you do. Where the mind goes the body follows. In other words, focus determines action. If you want to pray more you have to saturate your mind with God as opposed to the other things you’re dwelling on.

You’re not going to have a vibrant prayer life if He’s getting 5%. The numbers don’t add up. And if you spend more time with Him you’ll lessen the temptations and increase resistance.

It goes hand in hand. That’s what John 3:30 is pointing out. That’s how you slay the flesh and deepen your relationship.

But its not about works. You can go to church and bible study every week and be lukewarm. It’s the heart and mind behind it and time in His presence. Nearness changes you and sears your conscience. Holiness rubs off.

When sin is rampant there’s always a spiritual deficiency. Immersion alters the battle. You get pushback from taking ground and doing the Lord’s work.

The devil doesn’t care about you going to church. Or how many events and studies you attend. The biggest threat to his kingdom is prayer. So he keeps you distracted. Busy, heavy laden, entertained, and whatever it takes to keep you silent.

If you want Holy Ghost victory it must be your daily bread. He should be quaking in his boots when you wake. Saying oh hell, he’s up. He should fear your prayers because heaven moves on your words. Just like Daniel.

For from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard.

That should be every blood bought believer’s reality. If it isn’t you’re focused on the wrong thing. You’re operating in your capacity not His. And the results confirm it.

God Bless.

Praying for you and your friend @sampa. Also praying for everyone else who requested prayers. May you all have a blessed week!

@SarahsKnight, it's very kind of you to think of us and the prayer requests we have. My personal prayer requests for this week are for my mental health and safety for me and my family.

I've been jobless for a year today. No new opportunities have arisen, either, but I'll keep searching.

*nudging @Saucy*

I feel like blessing someone and you’re on my heart. No one I’ve prayed for failed to receive their desire.
