Scripture
Observation
A list of what to focus on, what to think about.  Each attribute is considered excellent and praiseworthy.  
Application
So, lately I've been pondering this verse - a lot.  It would be wonderful if we could always think on these things, but the truth is we can't.  

Life happens.

Consequently, 

our thinking gets distorted.  

So, what do we think then?

That's what I've 

been thinking about.  

What do we think then?

What do you thinkthen?

What do I think then?

Sometimes, 

my thinking is just the opposite of this verse.

I've decided to combat my 

negative thinking 

with God's Word.  

A quick search of 

"You Say, God Says"

showed many cool printables.

Here are links to a few.

May I encourage you to memorize Scripture?  Friends, I firmly believe that, combined with praise and worship music, this is one of the major ways to encourage ourselves, to fight the enemy and to live out Philippians 4:8 victoriously.  

Prayer

LORD, I need a way to live out Philippians 4:8.   For so many of us, it's so much easier to negative, ugly thoughts.  Help us to fill our minds with Your Word.  Help Your Word come to our minds in ALL times that we may live victoriously all the time.  After all, I've believed for many years that 

You are good all the time and

all the time, You are good!  

Amen!

Simple Minds

Here's a funny story.  I used this mind map - Simple Mind+ - as my craft project management system.  I worked my way from 0% to 33% finished WIPs!  I don't know hat got into me, but I forgot about it and used a different system this year - 

with no way to track my progress.  I've decided to go back to Simple Mind+ again starting September 25, 2017. 

I was able to go through all my projects - again - and found a bunch more WIPs!  I've also decided to be happy about them - even though my WIP now number at 63!  Remember Philippians 4:8?  God's timing is perfect.  

I already finished a boot cuff set, so my completion rate is a whopping .015%!  I have a long way to go, but it's better than 0%!  (All encouragement is gratefully accepted!)  :)

Quilty 365
Well, on September 11, 2016 I started quite accidentally the Quilty 365 journey.  I finished it this month.   It's been fun and I look forward to making a quilt out of all my squares.  Here are August's and September's blocks!

How exciting it that?  It's been a real journey as this was the time I was recovering from chemotherapy during this time and sometimes it was really hard to keep up.  

But I did it.  
Sure enough, I did it.
By the grace of God, I did it.

God is good all the time; 
all the time, God is good.
