God Made Moms To Teach Their Children...Being at Peace Is A State of Mind.

Ladies, I tend to get moody at times and those of you who have known me over the years have experienced my moodiness one time or another. I apologize to you for my past moodiness and for any future moodiness. Recently I lost my inner peace, I gained it back for a short period just to lose it again. My state of moodiness then set in with a vengeance trying to destroy the peace surrounding me. The most recent things that have caused me to lose my inner peace has been the death of a close friend and my concern of the care of the kids she left behind, an ongoing disagreement with my son, my husband,and my mother, stress at work, car maintenance issues, and of course weight gain. It's gotten ridiculous - my moodiness. I've been praying for peace and asking for guidance in staying at peace because it's been a struggle to be at peace with others when your inner peace is null and void. Well low and behold, God's word revealed my answers this morning, the scriptures of Philippians 4:8 and of 2 Corinthians 12:9 came to mind. And just in case your wondering, I didn't know the exact books the scriptures were in, I just knew the words of these scriptures. Thank God for Biblegateway.com. Now I'm not saying, I won't ever experience moodiness again but I feel by expressing my struggle with moodiness, I gain the strength to overcome my tendency to become moody so frequently. Truth be told, moodiness had almost become second nature to me. So today, I've made a conscious decision that peacefulness is my desired state of mind and being. God has equipped me and surrounded me with all I need to be in peace whether it's inner peace or outer peace. So in staying true to the point of my tidbit, teach your children or someone else by showing/telling them that being at peace starts in the mind.

Be blessed and encouraged, it's a choice and I've made the choice to be blessed, encouraged, and at peace. ~ Delphine

Isaiah 26:3 You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.

Psalm 29:11 The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

Philippians 4:8 finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
