thanks for the lesson, as you are familiar with the daily stress I often face at my job… also for the background info on “shalom”, I love that!

Later bro, Jason

Thank you, Michael. I’ve been struggling with that “contentment” thing this week. Trying to deal with a situation where a blessing occured but it wasn’t as good as it might have been and my contentment level was definitely not where it needs to be. You’ve caused me to re-evaluate and be thankful for the blessing that was provided!
Shalom Brother,
Steve

Thank you for your last two posts.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the “world around you” and for many us our world can be work as we spend majority of our day at the office.

Recently, I had to stop myself dead in the my tracks and ask,” Julie, why are you thinking like that and why are you so focused on something you have no control over? Aren’t there more positive and productive things to think about?” Satan can do that- without you even realizing it creep into your head and fill it with either lies or just plain nonsense-things that are really not worth spending your time thinking about.

So now, I am learning to think about what I am actually thinking about (with the help of Joyce Meyer’s, Battlefield of the Mind. I am learning how to control my thoughts and turn them away from those things that are not productive in a positive way. Learning/practicing how to line up my thinking with God and His Word; so thank you for your posts- it helps me to give thought and study to what I am receiving.

Still a work in progress, but I hear practice makes perfect.
