Thoughts

I read a FB status today that said: “What if f**ebook could automatically record your thoughts and post them?”

To which I immediately cringed and thought… NO WAY! Does that make anyone else just shiver?

I will be the first to admit that I constantly work on 2 Cor 10:5 ‘Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.’ (I have this verse taped to my computer at work) I don’t always think the best of people right way, I am not always forgiving at first, I can be judgemental and ugly especially on those weeks when hormones are in full swing. Oh Lord, I would need some kind of thought helmet to block those thoughts from getting out on FB.(think helmet of salvation with a face plate so that words uttered were not released) I am generally in a week’s worth of repentance after a week’s worth of hormones. Anyone relate?

These aren’t qualities I am proud of for sure! But the good news is that I am getting so much better at capturing the thoughts. I don’t always catch them… I don’t always keep them to myself…but I have found that if I give myself time to pray and talk to God about an issue first, that He always shows me another side. He shows me that there are always 2 sides, and that I am far from perfect myself, so I need to cut people some slack. :) Works pretty much every time. :)

I have had a situation in the past couple of weeks that has required me to really pray, and ponder my responses before actually responding. I have found that I am much better at finding a way to respond with Grace and Forgiveness. I am trusting that God will work things out in the end. He always does.
