I am a firm believer that to get free we have to examine the root issues causing our behavior, and the only way to do that is to allow God to guide us to what is triggering the behavior. God is our creator and knows all things. If we ask Him by faith to show us what is keeping us bound, I believe He will do just that. If we want to live a productive, healthy life we need to be healed and whole. When we can examine our past with clear lenses, it will help us to see what is causing our pain. This will help us to start to let go of some of the survival mechanism we have used and find healthier alternatives , like talking to a friend, praying, or going for a walk. 

You have to set your mind that you’re going to do this no matter how hard it gets. This may require spending some time talking to God and sitting in His presence, allowing Him to stir up some pain that you may have stuffed for many years.

We all have hurts that God wants to heal. I believe this is why so many are enslaved to addictions—because they can’t face the pain. Feeling the pain from your past won’t kill you, but your addiction and stress will.

If we allow God to heal us from rejection, anger, resentment, shame, and unforgiveness, it will allow us to break free and walk into liberty. These issues will not be able to come back and torment us again, because we allowed God to pull them out by the roots.

There is an enemy that would love to destroy God’s destiny for your life, and most of the time the enemy will use people who are the closest to you to keep you wounded. Then we walk around confused thinking, what is wrong with me, that the other person would do this to me?

Heads up Non Native Oklahomans🤣🤣🤣Public service announcement 😆😆
You transplants that are new to Oklahoma, are about to experience “Oklahoma Winter”. This is 6 or 7 days of cold, maybe some ice and snow. The weatherman will threaten snow. It may snow, it may not and if the weatherman says 2 inches it could be 10 or it could be 1/2”. It doesn’t matter how much snow it is, we’ll all freak out because we don’t see snow often.
The threat of snow (or ice) from the weatherman is your prompt to head to the grocery store and buy milk, eggs and bread. It doesn’t matter if you need these items. It’s just what we do. Everyone in town will be there.
You’ll also need to make a mad dash for faucet covers and finding them and getting out of the store will be like an episode of the hunger games. You’re in the redneck district.
Don’t look for a sled. You won’t find one. In the rare chance we get enough ice or snow to sled grab some cardboard or a trash can lid and go find the nearest hill. Yes, we know it’s not a hill. You live in the flatland, just go with it. You’ll be alarmed by the fact that you’re “sledding” towards a bar, ditch, fence or maybe into the road. Just go with it. You’ll be fine.
We don’t have equipment to handle the winter and weather. The roads will be a mess and even though the state has been telling you for a week they’re ready, they’re not and it won’t work. Just stay home if you can and if you can’t just come to terms with the fact that nobody here knows how to drive in snow and ice.
Whatever you do, DO NOT talk about snow tires.
If you happen to slide off the road or get stuck, turn your flashers on, take a deep breath and wait. Two guys in a four wheel drive truck will be along in no time to offer assistance. Don’t try to help them, they live for this stuff, and will do what they can to get you back on the road. If either one of them screams “hey y’all watch this” just get back and get your phone out and start recording, you’ll probably have a viral video. Also of note, when they offer you beer and deer sticks, don’t be rude, take them and smile.
No matter what you do, don’t talk about how they did it back home in any of these scenarios. Nobody cares. You live in Oklahoma now, Oklahomans know they live in the greatest state in the country and it’s our way or the highway.
When we act like we’re going to die and start to complain about the 7 days of winter just shut up, we’re serious and we don’t care how much you love it. We don’t.
You’ll be back in shorts and flip flops in a week to ten days and it’ll be nice until right around Easter.
Oklahoma's “second winter” will be 2 or 3 days and will hit right around Easter, usually the week before or the week after. This will hit right around the time you plant flowers and a garden. We know you’re not from around here when we see you’ve planted flowers before Easter and before the “second winter” has hit.
This is why all the people at the nursery don’t sound like us when you’re shopping for plants. We know better.
During second winter it’ll go from 70 to 25 and you’ll experience all four seasons in one day. This too shall pass, get used to it and when second winter is over you can enjoy the 3-4 weeks of “spring” before summer gets here and it’ll be melt your face off hot until sometime around Halloween.

Does anyone want some quick cash? I need to go out west to pick up two trucks, but I can’t get away from here. I need two people to help me out. 8 hours a day for two days. I will pay $1,000 a day, plus hotel and food. I will also give you a $250 per diem for spending money per day. Total pay for two days work would be $2,500.00. This has to be done on Feb 30th and 31st. Let me know if you are interested!
Truck and trailer will be provided.

A man was taking it easy, lying on the grass and looking up at the clouds. He was identifying shapes when he decided to talk to God. “God”, he said, “how long is a million years?”
God answered, “In my frame of reference, it’s about a minute.”
The man asked, “God, how much is a million dollars?”
God answered, “To Me, it’s a penny.”
The man then asked, “God, can I have a penny?”
God said, “In a minute.”
Just Believe!
