Just me trying to be honest with God.

“When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place.”-unknown

“A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.” Prov.25 NIV

Learning how to encourage our own heart is one of the most effective skills for living a fruitful life. We all get discouraged from time to time, especially when we are trying to break some bad habit or acquire a healthy one. And, even though the encouragements of a friend are helpful, there is no encouragement quite like our own. After all, neither God nor our friends can lose weight or eat healthy for us. Once we choose a good course of action, we must learn how to argue ourselves back into it once we start to waver from it. God will help us find the right words to say, but each of us must speak them to our heart and speak them till “we” believe in them again. 7/1/2011 Conversations Within ts (Sunshine State)
