Life is What You Think

I truly believe in that, life is what you think, both from my Social work training and my faith, but also by experience.  I preach it all day long.  So I pay a lot of attention to my own thoughts.  I used to think a lot in to do lists, what do I need to do, what did I check off, what have I accomplished today.  It really is no way to live life.  It creates anxiety and an occasional feeling of satisfaction.  So as read the Word and live out my faith, I am now thinking more relationally.  Who can I serve or bless today?  What does God want me to do or think today?  It's awesome.

  There is just one small problem.  Don't judge me.  I find myself thinking in Facebook statuses.  Do you?  I've just started that 100 happy days challenge so each day I have to take a picture of something that makes me happy and post it.  That's cool, because it makes me think about happiness which fits with my faith and I share it, which also fits with my faith.  But I also just think in Facebook statuses.  Thank God I'm able to control that urge and only actually post these thoughts about once or twice a week, unlike some people on Facebook I know.  I realize people aren't interested in my day to day thoughts and daily life.  For example, I just had a thought, "first world problem, my fingernails are freshly polished and I have to go poop."  Aren't you glad I don't post these thoughts?  People probably don't really care about what makes me happy either.  I know my daily Bible verses annoy many of my Facebook friends and family but I don't really give a rats behind. :).   And then about weekly I feel these blog posts coming on.  Then I just have to do them.  At least people read these more voluntarily.   And today's included my random status thoughts also.  Oops.
