PS#1 Progress: I can do ALL things....?

Greetings friends and followers! I have been out of sorts lately, have not been writing and generally feel out of sync with where I was just weeks ago. Not physically, but mentally,emotionally. I am uneasy, unsure that the paths we have recently chosen to venture down are the correct paths. I feel that the devil is having a heyday with my doubts and insecurities. That is how he gets me everytime. I fear that is how he gets to all of us. This is how he gets fourteen year old girls to smoke and 30 something year old moms to drink "a little bit" of wine. All the time. We begin to doubt and question, to fall off the hill we have been climbing toward happiness and security. I lose myself when I stray too far from the page. You may ask,"What do I do when I am not writing(running,cooking,singing,playing your chosen sport,etc.)?" Losing Hope, that is what I have been doing. Completely feeling like Debbie Downer as of late, several situations have prompted my surfacing belief that people CANNOT change. Knowing that this is true if people remain in the dark and refuse to become self-aware. I have discovered, or re-discovered as it were, that what troubles me the most about the human race is the COMPLETE LACK OF SELF-AWARENESS that we all exhibit. This could possibly be the SIN that the bible refers to on every single page. This could potentially be the downfall of man. I have worked extensively on myself since I was very very young. I continue to work daily on my thoughts, motives, and actions. It is not that I feel God loves me any less if I am awful to my fellow man, but that I cannot live with myself when I know I have made a mockery of the relationships I have forged. Not a day goes by that I don't ponder the attributes that I can change within my person. Is it terrible that I want every single living, breathing creature to do the same? Am I taking too much on myself and not gving enough to God? Am I not living and working through Power Thought #1 in that I CAN DO EVERYTHING I NEED TO DO IN CHRIST? This may need to be the foundation that I return to daily for the next several weeks or months. I will progress through the 12 Power Thoughts again and again for the next year or so as is suggested in the book. If you have not found a copy yourself, I highly recommend it. Chin up,there is a world waiting for the greatness that is implanted in all of us from the moment we were created!
