Postive vs. Negative

Lately my niece is very negative about everything.
She is the glass is half empty person.
We are all going to die.
This is the worst day of my life.
Nobody is paying attention to me and so on.
So now I tell her that there are no Negative Nancy allowed only Positive Petunias!
Words that I myself need to live by.

Talk about practicing what you preach!

The quiet small voice.

I hear that quite small voice. Why is it small? Why is it quiet? Because I haven't spent enough time lately. I need to cultivate the relationship that goes along with the voice. I need to pay more attention to what it is saying. I need to follow the tugs on my heart.

First that voice is telling me to pray over my home. Have I done this yet? Nope, and honestly I am stupid for not doing it. There are things that have happened lately that I know are direct results of my not cleansing my home. Not really going to go into details here. :)

Second I know that that voice has been telling me to lose weight. I am trying to do that. Trying is the key word here LOL. I have a fridge full of food and tomorrow is the first day. The first day of trying to get un-addicted to carbs. We shall see how it goes but I predict it goes very very well. I am being positive Petunia here.

Third (this is so cliche but its what I hear) is that voice telling me to come away. To get into my prayer closet and spend some time out of everything else and basking in the presence of the voice. To take time out.

I need to listen.......
