Something to Think About

It's been a while since I've posted and to my friends who enjoy reading this blog and find it encouraging, I deeply apologize. Lately, it has felt as if my life has been turned upside-down just a bit, but I'm still here. And so, thankfully, are my parents and loved ones.

Anyway, over the past month, I've been seriously dealing with the issue of fear and, as God would design it, today I came across the following quote attributed to Nelson Mandela:

"Our greatest fear is not that we are powerless, but that we are far more powerful than we think."

Meditate on that for a moment. I sure will.

By the way, the Glad Game experiment of last month was a success. I had a pretty amazing week that week—lots of unexpected, yet pleasant surprises. But then the following week, I slipped into my old habits of complaining about the least little thing and life offered me more to complain about. So I've discovered experientially what I've long suspected might be true: thoughts and words have power. Good thoughts and good words = a good life.
