It has been a little while since I have written. But this strange girl has been up to a lot lately and it's all for God's glory.
One of my favorite rooms in the house is the bathroom. Why you might ask? It is the one place I can be alone to myself. I can spend time with God. Take a relaxing shower after exercising and so on. But one of things that I get to do is to mentally relieve myself and flushing my negative thoughts and feelings (i.e. stress, aggravation, frustration and the like) down the toilet. OK, I am not trying to gross anyone out. Let's think about it. When you have a healthy metabolism, your digestive system functions properly. It's breaks down your food so it can pass through your system. Any waste that is collected along the way is disposed by using the bathroom (whether it's a #1 or #2). On the opposite end, constipation can lead to you feeling very uncomfortable. It is also unhealthy because it could back up and possibly poison your internal organs and blood circulation.
Here is my point. Just like it is important to have a healthy digestive system to dispose waste out of our human bodies, we need to do the same when it comes to our spiritual and mental bodies. What do I mean? We need to have a daily in-filling (digestion) of the Holy Ghost and God's word to ensure a healthy metabolism in the spirit. So that your mind can quickly flush away any waste (or negative thinking). If you allow that waste to settle, it can poison your mindset can cause you to not believe the Word of God for what it really says. It can cause you to lose faith, have feelings of depression, choose to accept worldly standards as a way of living, or even compromise your witness for God.
Romans 12:1-2 says "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the
mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy,
acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
In other words, it is so necessary to renew our minds with the Word of God and by His Holy Spirit leading and guiding us in all truth every day. It ensures us that we have a healthy digestive system in spirit, soul, and body. From my point of view, there are enough obese (overweight) saints that have received so much word. Now it is time to work that stuff out and get some spiritual fiber so you can be regular, LOL!!!. And then flush it all down the toilet...
Peace and blessings from your strange girl,
