8.13.25 - my thoughts are wasting my time

Hi ,

Last week we talked about self control. I hope that message encouraged you. Today I want to share something that I woke up thinking about - my thoughts. 

I didn't sleep much last night. It took me forever to fall asleep and then I kept waking up. On top of that I had a really disturbing dream. I woke up from the dream and my brain went into overdrive. What if the dream happened in real life? What was the dream trying to tell me? Did I need to say something about the dream? After a few minutes, a little voice said "you're wasting your time." I really was smh. This happens often in my day to day. I waste time thinking about things out my control. I waste time worrying about things that won't matter in a week. I waste time over analyzing what to do or not to do. I waste time thinking about nonsense. 

Our brain has the ability to send us off the deep end if we don't learn to train our mind. In a matter of seconds we can spiral into thoughts that waste time, or we can renew our mind with God's word and remember what Paul says in Philippians 4:8:

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

I don't know if this message applies to you, but I'm challenging myself to stop wasting my time in poor thoughts. 

I appreciate you being part of this community—it's always more than skin care. 💛

Love,
