Hello Friends

I pray all is well with you & your family. As for me and my family, all is well. The Lord is continuing to provide. Thank You Lord for your provisions. I pray that everyone will read & receive this as the Lord sees fit. Amen

Let's dive right in. We all have addictions or habits that we would like to change. For some of us we would like to change or enhance our relationship with God. For some of us, it might be to become more fit, for some, it might be to stop smoking, for some, it might be to have better control over our finances. Whatever the habit or addiction may be we have the power to change it within us. Our creator has given us ALL that we need to overcome any unwanted habit or addiction. God wants us to become FREE from the bondage of our addictions & unwanted habits. They are wayyyyy to expensive for us to keep living with them. So let's DO something about them!!!!

First, let's realized who we are. Who we are is not this body we are in. Who we are is not the things we accomplish. We are divine creations. We are not a human being having a spiritual experience. We are a spiritual being having a human experience. No matter what human experience we encounter, it can never diminish our spiritual being. We can always return to our source. Your spiritual being will live on beyond this human experience. It is up to you where it will live on. So don't let your past determine your future. Behold I am a new creature in Christ Jesus, Let the old things pass away.

We must identify what area we want to change. Once we identify that area, then we have to DO something to bring about that change. It is always good to have have some sort of accountability of your activities. Meaning each day DO something to accomplish your goal & communicate it in some way. Use a partner to explain what you did to accomplish that goal, or in some cases what you didn't do. (when it comes to unwanted addictions) Now that we have identified where we want to be, let's get there.

In order to overcome any addiction you reconnect your self to The Source, which is a conditions of well being. All of us came from a Divine being & we were made in His likeness and image. He is our Source of well being. He wants us to be well. He left us instructions on being well, while we are here. It only make since, if we want to be well, we must return to the source of well being. How do I reconnect to my Source? I am glad you asked. You start with Prayer, Meditation communications with God. You must start a dialog with God. Notice I said DIALOG. Which means you speak with Him & He speaks to you. How does God speak to me? Again, I am glad you asked. God speaks to us through The Holy Spirit. He also gave us volumes & volumes of His thoughts in the Holy Bible. I encourage you to return to our Source by prayer and studying the Word of God. Make a commitment to yourself to be well.

Because I am connected to well being, I will do this one day, one circumstance, one minuet or even one second at a time. Change from thinking big to thinking small. A journey of 1000 miles starts with ONE step. If you were to focus on the 1000 mile journey you would be tired before you start. However, if you focus on just that 1st step, you know that you can accomplish that one step. In order to achieve great things we must START SMALL. Focus on that one step. Take the change one day at a time. Just as important as changing from unwanted habits, is to change towards good habits. Replace an unwanted habit or addiction with a desired habit. Practice doing the right things. Any great athlete with tell you that they practice doing the right things. If you want to feel better about yourself dive into God's Word & practice what it says. One step at a time you can change yourself, which will change your family and those around you.

Achieve greatness in little things, take on difficulties while they are still easy, do great things while they are still small. The Sage does not attempt anything very big, and thus achieves greatness. The Sage confronts difficulties but never experiences them."
-Tao Te Ching

Let us pray. Lord I thank You for Your divine creations. I pray that you would give us the strength, courage and wisdom to complete the well being in our human experience. Help us to realize not only who we are but Who's we are. Know that we can accomplish all things through Christ. Amen
