Something to think on for the weekend …

My mind is spinning over the following quote … it could be enough to chew on for the entire weekend!


source


“We were made by the hands of a Maker to be brave, to take heart and have courage. But we get good at the things we practice, and instead of scales of courage, I played dark melodies of fear.” (Emily P. Freeman)

 
We were made by the hands of the Maker to be __________ (fill in the blank) , but ultimately …

We get good at the things we practice.
We get good at the things we practice.
We get good at the things we practice.

 

What have I been practicing?

Am I practicing …

  • Surrender or independent living?
  • Thankfulness or grumbling and complaining?
  • Living by the flesh or living through the Spirit?
  • Faith or fear?
  • Pride or humility?
  • Forgiveness or bitterness?
  • Selfishness or honoring others before myself?

The list could go on and on, but ultimately … am I practicing living a life that’s all about Jesus or one that’s all about Carrie?

What about you?  What are you practicing?

Happy weekend, my friends!
