So, I officially have 14 minutes till I have to leave for work but I just felt like I really needed to put something up today. I found a verse that really hits me where I am at it is Psalms 56:3-4 "When I am afraid I will put my trust in You my God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall NOT be afraid. What can mere men do to me?

What can mere men do to me? On the roller coaster, a ton mere men can dictate my emotion and my life when I live by emotion. But when I live in the spirit? Men can do nothing to me. I was told last night that the key to staying off the roller coaster is having that daily God time. I personally believe that God time can look like almost anything, but I think what is key to living in the spirit is spending some time every morning giving your day and agenda to God and praying through your schedule with God. I know that it helps me keep my mind where it needs to be.

Another wonderful key is to give yourself little reminders. In small group we made these post-it notes of verses of encouragement to post around our apartment. So, now wherever we go in our apartment we are reminded of why we are here.

I am just trying to live day to day, in the spirit and not on the roller coaster.
