Affirmations for Controlling the Tongue 🗣️

-

I tend to let circumstances affect my mood. It’s natural. At my core: I am human. However, if I don’t install updates regularly, I can allow circumstances to affect what I think and what I speak. If I believe in the power of the tongue like I say I do, I can't speak discouragement EVEN if I am actually, really discouraged 🫤. These affirmations are for times when I need to pause, recalibrate, and control my tongue 👅 .


I speak good things over myself.

I speak good things over people when they are around me and when they aren't. 


I guard what I say. 

I guard my gates. 

When I feel too weak to tame my own tongue I rely on the Holy Spirit to help me. 


I am wise with my words.

I think before I speak. 


I allow my emotions to guide my words, but they don't make the final decision.


So it is.

Rush Hour Traffic

-
Below is a story, a collection of thoughts that formed as I sat in rush-hour traffic for what seemed like forever. An elderly woman taking her time in the midst of our "rush-hour" inspired me. This piece came out of that inspiration and I am grateful...  During rush hour traffic. An old woman set herself to cross the street at the intersection. Some unassuming good soul was the first car to stop. In order not to seem more inhumane than the next city dweller, the other cars stopped forming a courteous and polite line as the woman shuffled into the street.  Plastered half smiles quickly turned into impatient stares that drilled holes into the woman's back deeper than memories. As the cars piled up and the faces tightened it was evident that all plans and deadlines were to bow down to the small elderly woman .  Everyone who sat waiting for her to cross saw her and though few may have recognized it at the time, they also saw what she represented.  Behind the sunglasses a...
