The Moderate Mind

My Idea For This Blog

To set goals for myself that others can see & encourage me along the way.

Ok.....new for 2009-

I have decided that it is too hard for me in my life right now the way it was set up for last year.

The Lord has laid it on my heart that I must choose to ACT loving.......& part of that is being moderate in my choices.

So each day, I will record how I chose moderation, motivated by my love for God or my love for others. Also, I will choose loving actions & (mostly, I need to demostrate it in the area of MODERATION) because of God's love for me!

Thank-you to each & every one of you who will support & pray for me in this endeavor!

Jan. 9

Yesterday was a day we did not expect to go the way it did. Details on our family blog. Link in sidebar.

But, I am so excited because I just seem so much calmer in my approach to life since I have decided to act in LOVE, instead of whatever emotion crosses my day-like yesterday-fear, anger, frustration......

I chose love by not getting cranky again! This is helping me SOOOOO much! It's amazing what a few changes in behavior will do!

Now, if I could only remember to make good decisions re. food, I would be doing MUCH better-but hey, one thing at a time, right?

I was very cranky today.......much to my embarassment, but the Lord brought to mind my decisions to act loving-so I tried, & thanks to the Holy Spirit, I was able to not LOOSE IT with anyone in my family!!!

Jan. 4

Let's see.....today I chose loving actions by doing all the lesson plans/menus & general planning for this new week.

I didn't feel like spending my Sunday afternoon that way.......but the thought that I needed to-to show my family (& myself!) love, brought me to my kitchen table to complete the task!

I'm not saying this to brag-this kind of self-dicipline is HARD for me, & Praise the Lord, He has been helping me!!!
