I borrowed a book from my aunt on Monday by Joyce Meyer that really interested me on my journey in becoming a devoted Christian. My goal is to be filled with the Love of God by the Word and not continue my life in anger and pain. In order to do this I must make time a priority for my studies so today I watched the videos that were included with the book. It was one of Joyce Meyers seminars about the Mind and the importance of our thoughts. These are just the notes I jotted down on notepad so I can remember when I look on them.

Controlling what we think about.
What has been on My Mind lately..

• The current relationship I'm in..
• The feelings of Anger and Sadness
• Hopelessness
• Impatience
