The Power of Negative Thoughts

Day 10, 5.5k Training.
I passed a woman who usually don't workout the same time I do, on my run back. She smiles and jokingly says to me, "Go, girl!" I stupidly yelled, "Yea, this is the hardest part." I tell no lie. As soon as those words parted my lips, immediately, my entire body felt like dead weight. I felt as if I was literally dragging along over 200 lbs - every step was becoming increasingly difficult. By the time I reach my mark, I realize the stupid error I made - negative thoughts. I had spoken something negative into my life and I felt the immediate results of my speech (Ephesians 4:29; Ephesians 5:4; Proverbs 18:21).

I have to remember, I am no longer the woman I once was more than 3 years ago. Today, I walk with the power and authority God has infused in me. And what I speak comes to be. Lesson learned. God is still training me in many different ways. ‪#‎IGetItNow‬
