MEAN WHAT YOU SAY!

The average woman speaks about 20,000 words a day. Now we can be proud to add to that by texting or e-mailing. We may not be saying anything but we are communicating which is what we do best. Men on the other hand, speak only about 5,000 words a day and that's if there isn't a good sporting event on TV. So, that being the case, we have an awesome opportunity to speak life to those around us. We are so used to saying things because they are a habit or we want to fit in with the crowd. Move over Oprah, we are about to make a mark in this world. We are so easily influenced by what we watch, listen to, and what we let be a part of our lives. Well ladies, WE'VE GOT A NEW ATTITUDE! On purpose, we need to stop and think about what we say and start saying what we mean. For instance, if you are watching what you eat, don't talk about how fat you are. You need to wake up everyday and say I am in good health, physically, emotionally, and mentally. Pretty soon your flesh will get tired of hearing it and get in line with your words. Also for all of us parents, if your kids haven't caused you to have a meltdown, they will. But we are going to chose to speak over them that they are happy, healthy, and successful all the days of their lives. How about Monday morning when you're driving to that job that may not have been your first choice. That's right, we're going to say that we love our job and expect promotion. Look around you everyday and see who you can speak words of encouragement to. If you don't need this word, I do. I need therapy for my tongue. I think there is something to this and we need start today. I speak blessing over each of you precious ladies and grace to starting saying what you mean. The word says that the power of life and death are in the tongue. Speak life into your situations and watch God pour out blessings that you cannot contain.
