I receive devotions every day via email and the fact that 99% of the time I can directly relate to them is very uplifting. I mean each and everyday these devotionals can and do effect me in a way that helps me to get through something that I am currently involved in. The other 1%? I suspect that I just don't 'see' it. These devotionals come from Dr. Charles Stanley. A pastor of a church in Atlanta, Ga. We have never met and we have never talked. I would bet I am not the only one to receive his devotionals. But.. it is almost like he steps into my life (like a fly on the wall) and can see what I need, even before I do!

Went to church tonight. Help in the kitchen with making sandwiches and cleanup for children and parents and teachers to eat for the AWANA program. Absolutely love doing this. Wouldn't give up my Wednesdays for anything.. Let me say this tho.. We serve sandwiches and chips and cookies.. Easy. Not stressful at all. There is a group of us who set it up so no pressure. And wonderful people to socialize with while working.

I awake today feeling at peace with this daily journal business. Which is most shocking for me! I am purposely putting my business out on the street for all to view.. A new concept for me. I have been most of my life a VERY private person. Drilled into those within my immediate circles that my business is my business and they have NO right to share any of it with anyone. And IF they did then the consequences would be extreme!

I must say technically today is 11-16-11 as it is 1:34 am. Yet I haven't been to bed yet.. so in my book it is still Tuesday..
I have been enlightened by my glorious Father in Heaven that this blog needs to be more personal. So before work today I added a Bible study I am currently doing. Yet this still didn't suffice. So now I feel led to share more by posting my daily walk. My struggles, my joys, God's graces and corrections. So some background so that one may understand why I did some of the things I did today.

Anti-stronghold Bible verses
These are excellent verses to meditate on for the pulling down of strongholds! Print them out and go over them every day for a week and see if it doesn't make a big impact on your spiritual growth and freedom! Meditate on God's Word as King David did! These verses are truth, and will help you tear down strongholds (which are based on lies and deception).
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."

Strongholds
The Greek word for stronghold, taken literally, means a fortress. It is used in the Bible also as a metaphor to represent things that are based only on human confidence or pride, as opposed to those that rely on God's input and guidance.
Strongholds are walls or fortresses around beliefs and emotions to protect us from further pain. An important part of healing and transforming the deep wounds, requires divinely pulling down the strongholds.

Mindset
Mindset- In decision theory and general systems theory, a mindset is a set of assumptions, methods or notations held by one or more people or groups of people which is so established that it creates a powerful incentive within these people or groups to continue to adopt or accept prior behaviors, choices, or tools. This phenomenon of cognitive bias is also sometimes described as mental inertia, "groupthink", or a "paradigm", and it is often difficult to counteract its effects upon analysis and decision making processes.
