I desire to become a woman of chosen words...

                                                                            Ladies,

                                                            I dont know about you ,
                                                but sometimes I can be like this picture of
                                                                    splashing coffee...
                                                My mind will be filled with thoughts, and
                                                                    if tosseled about,,
                                                 I just spill out and over flow at the tongue..

                                                   Expressing my thoughts !!!
                                                                     
                                                          God has keeps bringing up
                                                        the fact that I must become a
                                                  Woman of Carefully Chosen Words...

                                                He who guards his /her mouth and tongue
                                                         keeps himself from calamity.
                                                               Proverbs 21: 23

                                                When words are many, sin is not absent,
                                                    but he who holds his tongue is wise
                                                                Proverbs 10:19


                                                Rather, it should be that of your inner self,
                                             the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit,
                                                    Which is of great worth in God's Sight..
                                                                     1 Peter 3:4
                                       
                                                         But what I need to learn to do is:
                                                Take my inner most thoughts and concerns
                                                                in prayer to God ...
                                                  And accept his "will" on the matter ,,
                                                     no matter what that looks like....
                                                Wheither it is what I would of wanted ,
                                                           or even dreamed of....

                                                 But to Become a Woman of Joy,
                                                      Prayful and Thankfulness

                                                                  Be Joyful always,
                                                                  Pray continually,
                                                       giving Thanks in all circumstances,
                                                for this is Gods will for you in Christ Jesus.
                                                                  1Thess 5:

Thank you for this. My son was just asking me about the power of words yesterday and I was looking for some verses for him.

Karen,
Couldn't agree with you more. Just today I wrote about a few words my mother spoke to me once that still bless me to this day.

Wishing you a day filled with Sonshine - Marsha at Spots and Wrinkles
