We have moved our family and organization to Washington State. It has been a difficult move, yet at the same time amazing. We so know this is exactly where we are to be.

Yesterday I was pretty discouraged with the different hardships in our life right now, and I had to do everything I could to just hang on emotionally. I went to the beach and spent my time with God, and my hope was again rekindled. I was still a bit discouraged, but at the same time more hopeful knowing God was right there beside me.

My thoughts and emotions are all over the place and the need to just stay focus on what God has asked of us is extremely important right now. I made this commitment to myself and God again today and It is going to help me stay focused.

I am choosing to take 100% responsibility for my life. I only have control over 3 things in my life. The thoughts I think, the images I visualize, and the actions I take (my behavior).

If I don't like what I am experiencing then I need to change my responses. I need to change my negative thoughts into positive ones, I need to change what I daydream about. I need to change my habits. I may need to change what I read, who I hang out with, and change how I respond to other's actions.

(I got this from the book the success principles). Very helpful reminders on how to make positive changes in our life through our thought life. God of course is the ultimate source, but it is personal choices that will determine our success in overcoming different battles in our mind.
