Thinking we’re staying with a team for a while and not.

Buying a house we think is forever, and move.

Recurring thoughts are a hard habit to break. But mind management helped me see I couldn’t clear all the racing emotions on my own. These examples of self-limiting beliefs that lead to God- restricting actions need to be identified.

So many times I felt stuck because of the situations I was in. I felt I couldn’t make an impact because I was busy traveling with my hubby’s job. Or he wasn’t around to help out with the kids. Or I was in a new place and didn’t know anyone. So many excuses.

It took me a while to understand God wants to use me wherever I am whenever I'm there.
