Day 29- Hold Your Tongue

"Keep you tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it!" Psalm 34: 13-14

"Our words are expressions of our hearts--of what's going on inside us. If we want to know who a person really is, all we need to do is listen to their words. If we listen long enough, we learn a lot about them." (Meyers, pg 99)

Prayer:
"Lord, help me use my mouth for right things. Put a watch over my mouth lest I sin against Youwith my tongue. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You. I ask it in Jesus' wonderful name. Amen." (pg. 100).

**********My Thoughts**********

Sigh... I skipped two days of this.  Tuesday night, I was not feeling well at all and was asleep by 8:30.  Wednesday night I started writing after I got my school work done and then.... blackness.... my computer turned off because I lost power.  At that time, I was SO tired (it was about 11:30), that I just fell asleep.

I have a really good topic I could write about for today, but I don't think I should really talk about work fully on here as I don't know who is reading this.

But, I can write about my attitude.  Which has been slowly turning around when it comes to work.

I am truly thankful to be able to have a job.  God has a plan for me with it.  At times, remembering that fact is so hard for me and I allow myself to talk negatively about other people behind their back.  What I am talking about is factual, as most of it is me venting, however, I really need to look for the good in people and focus on that.

My words should be that of thankfulness for working, not complaints of a particular person.

Lord, thank you for showing me this when I need it the most.  Help me to protect and stand up for myself in a godly fashion, not in a Mary explosion.
