Question of the day!

 What do you wish you had more control over? 

I bought this book hoping it would help me write more. I don't know how long I've had the book (too long!) but i haven't written once!  

After this weekend I've been thinking about how i want to write more. This could be the ticket! I love writing and this might be the perfect way to end the day. 

The funny part of this question is I'm trying to relinquish control of things in my life. Control (for me)  is typically a way to design the outcome of situations so that I'll fee safe. TBH i think it actually makes it worse because it brings anxiety and over thinking. 

I have two answers to this question and they might not be what you think. 

Jokingly I'd say the weather. Can it rain at night? And just enough to water my garden everyday... but i digress 

1. My thoughts - i wish i could take the negative ones captive. To not spiral in what a loser i am. All the things I've failed at.... to overthink all the bad choices... the way I've let people down. The truth is I'm just being a drama Queen. Sure I've made plenty of mistakes and bad choices but they don't define who i am. I'm just not perfect. 
2. My unbelief. I've seen God show up so many times. I've seen Him provide over and over. Answer prayer after prayer. Always for my good! Always.

The thing is both of those things i have control over. I just have to choose my thoughts and my faith. I need to take my thoughts captive. To point them to The Truth. 

I feel like the Father in Mark 9:24 “Immediately the boy’s father cried out, “I believe! Help my unbelief!””

I‭‭t's a new day! It's time to take my thoughts captive and change the way i think and my life!
