Mind what you confess.  Your words DO matter.  I can’t say that I completely understand this, but I’m learning that our words do have a profound impact.  I use to say that I was tired and old.  That was my response to nearly everything.  It wasn't long before I began to internalize it.  I can't, truthfully, say that I'm young and energetic, but what good does it do to drill it in my head that I'm tired and old?  Is it of any help to me?  Does it encourage or inspire me to do better?  No, it makes me want to give up and call it a day. 

My new confessions:
I am anointed to speak
I am called to speak.
I am fully committed to God.
I am surrendered to God.
I am consumed by the Holy Spirit.
I am saturated with the Word of God.
I am full of wisdom.
I am unstoppable when God directs my path and when God says it’s time to move out on HIS Word.

So, what words do you want to speak over your life?

Sometimes God’s love is so intoxicating, it leaves me speechless.

I believe God wants us to look good - our husbands want us to look good, too.  First Ladies of the church and other women of God, as we adorn ourselves, we should answer this question:  Does the way I dress cause people to focus on me or on God?  I'm not suggesting that we dress in a dowdy manner - that brings negative attention to us.  Let's look good.  Let's look excellent and attractive.  More importantly, let's look appropriate for ministry.

It's comforting to know that God understands, even when we don't.
