First I have to say we have such an awesome God. I have been sick so I got behind on my Counseling and my Journals. Then I got lazy a few days. I did day 7 today and it turns out it was just what I needed to hear. I do not know if this lesson would have meant as much before I got sick. Regardless, I am so blessed to be off my tail and back in my garden. I had to go back over my days 1-6 to do some maintenance before I got started, but I am so glad to be back. I made my list of weeds and going over them, they were all of course based from thought. I was surprised though how much sight and sound played a role in forming these weeds. I know those are the basic senses we use but I just naturally knew all my weeds were because I thought them up. Until this step I never would have realized that my weeds are from something I saw. You hear negative things as a child coming from an abusive home but alot of my weeds were from sight as an adult. I am keeping my list of weeds because I have realized I am going to be doing alot of talking out loud for this problem. I am gonna have to warn my children "Mom is not off her meds, I am just working through somethings." But I know just like the other days I will feel better and be a better Christian for working on it. This cinderella has her combat boots back on and is back hard at work for her crown. Pray for me.

Hello danty,

Good to see ya back on this path So glad you are feeling better I see your enthusiasm to get back in there and i thank Him for that

I can understand the visual aspect of the seeds. Pictures are worth a thousand words, and if we see a picture or scene and we get carried away with that with our thoughts, and negative ones at that.. well it seems that those seeds are burned in our mind. The memories alone let alone the thoughts attatched to them. We see something and we have to attatch it to something. Those are times when i ask the Lord to give me His eyes and let me see it the way He does, then i can get a better and true perspective of the scenes. You get what im sayin?

He loves to see us striving to get closer to Him. He will bless you for your efforts. He is a good God and an awesome Father

I am praying for danty

God bless
♥Jill

Glad to hear your felling better and back at your journal. Those weeds are tough...especially all the little ones that seem to be hard to get all the roots out. Don't forget to plant some seeds when you pull the weeds.

Are those combat boots glass ???

Jill and Humble thank you both for your words of encouragement and your prayers. Jill I will ask God to let me see through his eyes to help with my negative weeds that I am working on. So thank you for that I do not know why that has not occured to me. Humble I have been forgetting to plant good seeds as I pull the negative weeds that I am working on so I want to thank you for reminding me. As for my combat boots being made of glass... I picture myself in a formal white prom dress with glitter and dirt on it, and black combat boots that lace up to you knees. I think these kinda boots are best for working in MY garden. Again thank you both.
