Thoughts Along the Way

Off the Top of My Head
It's amazing, really, how little it takes to make me happy.
A little heated milk with some coffee poured in, some Sucanat stirred around.... a cup full of warmth and goodness.
Sunny, blue skies.
A calm tummy.
Quiet kids.
And then, it's equally amazing how quickly that happiness goes flying out the window.... how little it takes to make me cranky and irritable.
Loud kids.
Messy kitchens.
Interrupted schedules.
A wave of nausea.
Why can't I remain in that place of peace and contentment even when my circumstances change? I know that I am supposed to keep my eyes fixed on the Lord....that when my hope is in Him and not my circumstances I will find everything I need.
But, is that even possible for me?
Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible.” Matt. 19:26
Is this a Romans 12:2 question? (Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think.)
Somewhere, deep down, the way I think must be off. It needs to change. Deep down I must think that I can do SOME things on my own. Deep down I must think that I can't trust that God's way is best.
Oh Lord, thank You for never turning me away when I come to You. Thank You for helping me to see that what is impossible for me is not impossible for You. Please keep working in me. Please keep changing the way I think, rooting out what is wrong thinking and replacing it with what is true.
