From my notes this week:
“There is a war going on in my body. I want to walk with Jesus, I really do. But times when weary rises up and I believe the lies that I must do everything in my own strength there is a rebel that takes over.
- I complain.
- I yell.
- I play the martyr.
- I feel sorry for myself.
Then, I feel guilty and the guilt accuses me over and over again.
The answer is in him of course. Instead of this I need to:
* Recognize the war
* Renew my mind
* Refocus through praise
This is the way — this is why I spend time each day in the Word. Not because I have to, some silly rule. But I need to.”
Action Point: I’m going to get back to memorizing Scripture and I’m starting with Psalm 1. Care to join me?

Awesome Study Tools from Katie: Go here.
I’ll jump in with you!! Psalm 1, here we come!
I’m not sure where the study is located (link didn’t work), but I loved what you said about growing your view of God. That was a powerful statement to me, listening to the video again so I can write that down and remember it 🙂
So sorry about that! Find the study here: http://katieorr.me/focused15/?ap_id=staceythacker
