Good Morning Guys,

I have just completed step # 2, and i know this journey is going to be hard. Step 2 speak about controlling you, which encompasses the body, the mind (soul) and the emotions or emotional controls (spirit). my body i have some control over my mind and thoughts are a constant and always seem to be going into negatives spaces which results in my spirit being sad or angry. so this is going to be hard for me, but i have prayed that the lord strengthen me. I guess i need to weed my garden, because it is like a overgrown forest in there. Where do i start????.

removing the lies, lord it going to be hard to identify some of the lies that i have been telling myself for the last 33 year:

i am not worthy........... to be replace with i am worthy of all thing good and all thing the lord has planned for me
i am ok, and i have it all together........ i am not ok, i need help and needing help does not make me weak
everyone is prettier and better than me........ i am made in the Lord image, and he believes i am beautifully made
i am too dark........ all of us could not be the same shade, acceptance of self is integral
if i act strong then no one will know that i am not ok........ acting strong does not make you strong and asking for help does not make you weak.
its ok to be confrontational.....it also ok to be meek, you dont have to answer all the time


some of the issues i need to work on
my need to be in control, i believe that where some of my relationship issues started
feeling like what i am doing is never enough
patience- i dont have any
listening to the lord
faith, - i need to have more faith

Lord I know that you know what is in my soul before i put in on paper, so i am asking you in all that i have written today to help me replace the lies with truths. Help me to find you and in turn find myself
