Do You Really Believe What You Say?

So many times we all profess things that we want to accomplish and how we believe in this and that, but how much of that do we actually believe? Do we actually believe the words that come out of our own mouth? Its one thing to say I want to be successful, but not believe it.... Its another thing to say I trust God in all circumstances, but everyday worry about things you know God is going to take care of.... See we tend not to practice what we say... We say things to make ourselves feel better about some situations, but just think if we started living or practicing all the positive things that we professed.... The problem are not the words they are the beliefs.... Start putting some of those positive thoughts into motion and let's see where it takes us....

Just Can't Sleep

Have you ever had a night or a couple of nights where you just couldn't sleep. You prepared for bed early and prepared for a good 6-7 hours of sleep but you just couldn't sleep. Well, at 3:36 abruptly woke up and couldn't sleep. I laid down in my bed and tried to make myself sleep but I just couldn't fall asleep. Is it that I am worrying too much about things that I currently cannot control? Is it that I am not eating properly, which I am. I am not sure but whatever it is for the past week I just have not been able to sleep all the way through..... I really do not know what is going on... After trying aimlessly to fall asleep I decided to get down on my knees and pray and ask the LORD to remove whatever I was worrying about from me and to soothe my mind.... I also prayed for his never-ending favor. I just do not know why I cannot sleep tonight... Its hard.. I guess while I am up I will search for a job or do something constructive... It seems so hard right now to accomplish anything or get anything accomplished.... At some point you get tired of saddling the same horse and riding it over and over and over again, but the only way to get by is to finish the race. Sometimes I feel our load and our heart could be so heavy laden that we forget who actually is in control. Well, i thought maybe this blog would help me sleep I hope it does.. I know its a bunch of random nothingness but I really want to sleep.
