Think about what you are thinking about........hmmmm ??? how????

So, I am reading this Joyce Meyer book. It's called Battlefield of the Mind. It tells of the war going on in your mind.....a war that the devil has started. The chapter I'm on now is talking about how to get your mind normal....how to get it right. Making sure that your thoughts are always positive and not negative. I have the hardest time with that!!! Also, it says that having a busy mind is abnormal.....too many thoughts. I fight with my mind a lot. If a negative thought pops up in my mind, I think, why are you thinking that Beth!?!?!?!?!?!? Then, I start wondering why I was thinking that...then while telling myself not to think of that.....I am still thinking of that. HELP!!!!!! I'm beginning to think that my mind might be a bit of a mess!! I mean, the negative things aren't really bad things...but still, they are negative. The chapter says that your mind should not be filled with reasoning, worry, anxiety or fear..........But I have ALL of those!!!!!!! So, Joyce Meyer is going to help me get my mind right with positive thinking and faith that God knows what I need. Funny though, b/c reading this book....I can't count on one hand, maybe not even one finger, the people I know who have a normal mind that is serene all the time........hmmmmmmm. The mind is a very powerful thing, and I can definitely see how if you don't have your mind right with the Lord how it could put a damper on your walk with Him.

Ummmmm.......also, one of the chapters about having an abnormal mind....was called The Wandering and Wondering Mind....and I think I got it.....I finished reading an entire page.....didn't even know what I had just read.....MIND...BE STILL...CONCENTRATE!!! please? I mean, silly stuff was going through my mind...."Oh, I never noticed that spot on the ceiling....hmmm, I wonder who is going to be on Conan tonight?......geeez I just got my nails done and polish is already chipping.....darn it, what did I just read?.....what have I been doing this whole time......" That's my mind.........hahaha!
