Being

being is a state of mind,
i can always change how im being,
being is caused by a reaction of my feelings, so by controlling my feelings, im controlling my 
being.  when i discipline my heart i gain balance, for if i feel too much, or too little,
im either jumping ahead of god, or im staggering behind him.
if there are no boundaries with my feelings, i cannot evaluate the circumstances in my life 
clearly, and when i loose my balance, i loose focus, and clarity is clouded.

BUT GOD.........


he catches me in those moments when im off balance.
he hightens my perception when i stay focused on him.
he's used people and circumstances, good and bad, to change my life.
his creativity is amazing, and he will use anything to get his point across to me,
he speaks to my mind and heart with love and compassion, and allows me to see love even 
through the worst of circumstances.

so i will trust in the lord even in the smalllest decisions i make. i know there is a plan and a 
purpose for every encounter i have.  some of the worst experiences have turned out to be 
the biggest blessings in my life, and im thankful for those blessings for when he blesses me, 
it gives me the opportunity to be a blessing to others.
