What's your elephant?

Maybe you have a monkey on your back, are hoping pigs fly, or need to eat an elephant. Whatever burdens weigh you down, you are certainly not alone. Join me as I jump right in to eating my zoo of elephants, one bite at a time.

I Will

I will put my own spiritual life before all others. I will purposefully draw close to God.
James 4:8 Come near to God and he will come near to you.
I will read the Bible more and daily.
Psalm 119:24 Your statutes are my delight; they are my counselors
I will practice self-control over what I put in my body, making each decision to put something in my body a conscious decision.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.
I will speak good. I will practice thinking good and pleasing thoughts about myself and others.
Philippians 4:8 whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.
I will exercise my heart, knowing that my body is God’s temple.
Proverbs 27:19 As water reflects a face, so a man's heart reflects the man.
I will support my husband as the spiritual head of the family.
Ephesians 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.
I will make a conscious effort to be Christ-like and raise my son by example, rather than just by word.
Proverbs 22:6 Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
I will practice making sure all I do glorifies God.
1 Corinthians 10:31 whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
I will find and make time, knowing I have the support of my household, to do these things.
