I already have a blog where I keep all my creative work. My life is changing a lot at the moment and there are lots of issues, beliefs and such that I find myself musing for hours over. I've decided that it might be a good idea to write my musings down somewhere. I have no idea where this will go so it will be an adventure, an exciting one I hope.

Believe to be Simple

Start each day with the right attitude, say out loud, "Something good is going to happen for me today." God is good and faithful and will help us transform our lives if we let Him. He will help keep you with a hopeful and positive attitude if you put your faith in Him.

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24

In God's economy, you always have to believe first, then see later. So while you are still hurting, pray for healing, then believe that you have been healed. Realise that you are already blessed just by being alive and having the awesome opportunity to have a relationship with God.

An important aspect of leading a simple life is to keep it decluttered. In your home, only keep what you need, love and enjoy. Throw out the 'it might come in useful one day' items as 'one day' will probably never come. Keep your diary streamlined and simple. Plan events and engagements well paying attention to times and locations. Avoid complicated friendships and relationships. Don't take on a friendship with someone who is complex and likely to compromise you and your belief system. Mary and Martha led pretty much identical lives. Mary kept it simple, smiled and sent her worries up in prayer to God. Martha on the other hand had a very complicated and chaotic life. They had very similar lives, the difference was that Martha was a great worrier, she worried over anything and everything and this caused her much stress and complexity whilst Mary was sat beside her leading a simple life. Don't be a worrier, give it all up to God!

We are all guilty of multi-tasking, especially women. Whilst this has practical benefits, it does nothing for our mind but cause chaos. When approaching a list of tasks, adopt a mindfulness stance and focus on one task at a time, one minute at a time. Be in the moment enjoying each small detail. Don't miss a moment in the present due to focusing too much on what lies ahead.

Enjoy where you are on the way to where you are going!
