I have been struggling with a negative attitude lately. I've noticed the words coming out of my mouth, even though I just wrote a blog on how I was going to stop. It's been hard. Just when I think I have things under control and I get peace about one situation, another one comes along challenging me. I'm quick to complain I must admit, I'm quick to say things over my life that are negative. Let me give you an example, Our 10 year anniversary is coming up and I'm already letting myself be disappointment when it hasn't even happened yet. I'm so thrilled to be at 10 years and still be happy, it's just that I know my husband, and I'm afraid that he won't do anything.
There's a lot more it to that, but I'm going to stop myself because I'm learning the power in my words. Last night in class my eyes were opened to the truth, how much power we have in our words. How God spoke things into existence, spoke them, He could of created the earth anyway, but he spoke it, and there was earth! From the very beginning God was showing us how much power is in words, the words we use make things happen. Wow how much power words have, it's why throughout the bible it warns us to use our words wisely, because we have power to make things happen. I'm challenging myself with words right now, to speak positive things over my life. To say that our 10 year is going to be the best anniversary I've ever had. To speak that my husband is going to accomplish great things, to say that I will be blessed more than I ever know, to tell a friend healing is on the way, to say my sister will be saved, that my parents will get together even when all circumstances say otherwise, that my kids will grow and be strong followers after God, to remind myself my house is coming, that God is always doing something for His purpose not my own, and that I have a purpose and God will reveal it to me.

i am with you and anna!!! maybe we can join together in faith like the first sarah's daughters... but of course our goals will be different. we can stand in faith with and for one another's hopes and dreams!!!
Words have always been my worst enemy. Even after going thru cleansing streams and one round of after his heart, words still seem to get the best of me. And worst of all, negative words and thoughts. It something I have had to really work on and continue to work on daily. I know exactally how you feel and how frustrating it can be. But I beleive that daily I will get more aware of my words and you too and begin to have more faith in things/God, when before we just assumed the worse.
