    What’s in your hands?

    I’ve been reading a daily devotional called, Time to Refresh: A 21 Day Devotional to Renew Your Mind After Being Laid off, Fired, or Sidelined. This book has been such a blessing to me. I purchased it a couple of years ago supporting a church member. I had no idea this book would be needed at this time, but I guess as always, God knows. The other day, I was reading the devotion and it was talking about obeying God. Within this section of the devotion, it talked about being obedient, open, and ready for the overflow.

    Ctrl+Atl+Delete

    As we quickly approach 2020, I felt the need for me to share something with you that has been on my mind and I know we can’t take it into 2020, negative thoughts. We all have them from time to time, maybe some more than others, but the thoughts come. Negative thoughts come to most people; and you can’t always control them coming, however, you can control them staying. As we go into this new year we have to hit Ctrl+Atl+DEL when those negative thoughts come. We can’t allow them into our mind we must immediately trash them. Of course I had to look up this function to make sure…
