Put what’s on your mind onto the paper.
So many thoughts run through my head! My thoughts range from deep, meaningful things – like persistent prayer & how to best help kiddos – especially the broken and hurting ones TO — what gadget or app can I invent that will make me a zillionaire-ish?!! TO where is that paper clip I had two seconds ago!??
Isn’t the brain lovely! Really. So many tabs open. So many big and small things running around up there. (Yes, in case your wondering, I have a tad of ADHD tendencies.) But with our without ADHD the brain is lovely. Thank You Lord for our incredible brains!!
Our emotions are another cool thing. But they can be lovely or down right horrid!!
We hurt with the hurting. We rejoice we the cheerful. We feel for and with others. We dance with glee! We soar when it’s going good. We delight in the Lord and long to make the world better.
But then we scream at the unknown driver beside us, we boil with hate at our opposers, we explode with words that can’t be taken back, we meltdown, lose our cool, cry for no good reason, or laugh at the wrong time.
And in my opinion – that’s kind of lovely too. We can think. We can feel. We are humans. Messy, complex, lovely humans.
When our thoughts are captive by the Lord and His word, when our emotions are kept in check by walking closely with the one who loves us most — then our lives, our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors will indeed be lovely!!
We won’t be perfect. Strong feelings may get unchecked or wild, disconnected thoughts may run us into exhaustion.
But with the Lord at the center — life is lovely, don’t you think!?
