The Garden Gate: This was so amazing to me how all this was tied together, and the scriptures that were quoted was full of new insight for me. It is taking me a little bit longer because I am setting aside time in the morning to read the Step and then I write in my Daily Journal and I love reading all the scriptures out of my favorite Bible. I then come back in the evening after everything is all done and I can relax and review all that I have learned and post here in this Journal. I know this is only day 2 but after reading over the Step for the day I think on it all day and apply it to every aspect of my life possible. It has made such a difference in my attitude and way of thinking.... And most of all how others have responded to me and my new attitude and way of thinking.....how appropriate, Renewing of our mind.

Expectations are hard for me as I seem to set my own and then someone else sets them again for me. Psalms 62:5 was an eye opener for me as I know that it is God who sets my expectations. As Proverbs 16:3 says that when I commit to the Lord whatever I do, my plans will succeed, this means I take the expectations of God that He has set for me and I commit them to back to Him I will succeed. What a wonderful uplifting thing this is... I also will never look at Matthew 13 the same way again...This was such an eye opener for me. wow, I had to read over it twice to just make sure I got it embedded deep in my heart and mind. I have learned so much out of this study... I worked in my Spiritual Garden today and it felt so good....

I often cant sleep so I will get up and do the Study on renewing of our mind.... Looking forward to this. Thank you

Now I will focus on my purpose here on this earth and the plans God has laid out for me each and every day. I will find my purpose in Him and His promises.

I am so glad you are being touched by this. God bless you through your day. I'm going to go read Matthew 13.
