Where is Your Focus?

Tina K. Roach Christianity , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

It’s important what we focus on each day! Do we focus on everything that we think is “wrong” in our life? Or do we focus on what is good? One choice brings anxiety, fear and helplessness. And one brings joy, peace, and strength. Everyday is a new day! What do you choose to focus on today?

“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.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

I AM THANKFUL!

I am thankful!! I had a confrontation with my bathroom wall at 3:00am Tuesday morning. Immediately after, the swelling was as big as a tennis ball! Kinda scary… but the swelling went down quickly with the application of ice several times.

I am thankful! No bones broken around my eye…no damage to my eye itself…and my nose was not hit! (Those of you that know my “nose history” understand the relief).

I am thankful! The swelling is almost gone completely this morning. The Lord is using this to squeeze out more of my preoccupation with my appearance. I had a decision to make – sit at home and wait out the healing of the bruising – which I have heard could take many weeks. OR, continue with my daily commitments and get my mind off of myself and back on where it belongs – on the Lord and His kingdom purposes. ❤️

I am thankful! Lord, continue to mold and shape me into the vessel that You can use in love and power in Your kingdom. Continue to call me up higher…and not be overwhelmed with earthly things.

Thank You, Lord!!

MEMORIES…

I am blessed to have some ministry opportunities coming up in the near future. So, it was time to declutter and organize my office space!

I have two handmade prayer shawls hanging from the back of my chair given to me by two dear friends. I have a picture of Jesus entirely made from the words of Scripture. It was given to me years ago by a former student and is so precious!

I have a wooden communion cup brought back from Israel after taking communion with my touring group.

I have a photo card that my host family sent me as I was resting on their couch during ministry times at their church.

I have plaques given to me during my teaching career and on my retirement.

As I sit in my office space, I am so thankful for all of my friends, family, and ministry memories. ❤️ And of course, I am thankful to Almighty God!! All glory and honor to HIM!!

And I am excited and expectant for what the future holds! There is MORE to come!!

HALLELUJAH!!!! 💥💥🔥🔥🔥💥💥
