And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; (KJV) ( Ephesians 4:23 )
Do you ever feel like you are stuck in your thoughts, they seem to be cyclical returning to the same point? Perhaps you are battling anxiety that chokes, or building an argument in your head to justify your anger, or you are stuck in the rut of self-victimization. Each of these are attitudes do not reflect our identity as a cherished child of God. He has the power, through the Spirit, to change the way you think and feel. Call on Him in prayer to renew your mind.
About Joe
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
