A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
Today, your prompt is one word: Transformation. Quote for the Day from: https://www,wiseoldsayings.com Transformation does not start with someone else changing you; transformation is an inner self reworking of what you are now to what you will be. To transform yourself, you don't need to do big things. Just do small things in big way. Transformation will follow you! Transformation Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Romans 12:2 | NIV | May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance. 2 Thessalonians 3:5 | NIV But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 | NIV | What other people cannot know is what you are inside of yourself. If others push against your own inside goodness, try to change the way you work to achieve peace and inner calm it's easy to flip out. The transformation is when, as you age, you learn things to build a quiet barrier against evil thoughts and actions. your own and other people who would prefer that you not learn about the peace that passes understanding. In a psychology class I took, the professor was a trained psychiatrist. We spent time learning, that we are all products of our environments. Not, everyone grew up in the same type of home life situations. But, you learn to fight against the environment or accept it as a part of your life and live the way it pushed you to be. Fighting against improper upbringing is one of the greatest ways to experience transformation. When the voices start up to condemn you for some little no nothing thing you said, or did on the spur of the moment, which you might not have done or said anyway, if you took time to think before you spoke or acted or had more knowledge or guidance in any life situation: God says you are not condemned. Tell it to that voice in your head. Jesus Christ did not do anything wrong. Yet they tortured him, then hung him on a cross. He was a scape goat. Now, he is the only scape goat. Because what happened to him is not suppose to happen to us. God doesn't do bad things to us, people do. (He was seen by over 5000 people after he rose from the dead. They were witnesses, Real people, who wrote about what they saw.) It's a historical fact. I'm really 74, I struggled. You will struggle, but, even if it is gradual you will be transformed. It's a joy to know what a truth-to be is.. I read the end of the book and we win! Truth is so much fun. THE END or THE BEGINNING YOU DECIDE |
