Speak Words of Wisdom by Joyce Meyer

I feel like God is really trying to drive a point home, but at the same time he was using the events from yesterday and last night to counteract the negative emotions I was suffering the night before.
I had a friend text me to talk about some struggles she was going through as a mom. They were the same exact type of struggles I had with my youngest, so I totally understood. God used that moment to show me I did have valuable information to share and I could still help someone even if I wasn't as helpful as I would have liked to have been to someone else the other night.
Later that day two of my friends were having a conversation and one of them needed some advice on the military lifestyle. Deon told Cami that she was not at all going to be sympathetic to anything she was fretting over, so it may serve her well to call someone like me or our friend Leigh. She ended up calling me and we talked for probably about a good hour. I was able to give her perspective from someone who has lived a military lifestyle for almost 13 years.
Then the last call of the night was from a friend who had been sick and was going through some other personal struggles. Although it is more difficult for me to personally identify with her situation, I was able to bring about some food for thought that at least helped her to feel like she wasn't being crazy or over emotional about some things.
God took my horrible day of missteped words and reminded me that when I give him the time and focus he desires, I can be a very usable individual.
When it was time for me to lay down last night, he gave me this last little nugget to feed on:

Ending Your Day Right: Speak Words of Wisdom
by Joyce Meyer

For out of the fullness (the overflow, the super-abundance) of the heart the mouth speaks. Matthew 12:34

It is challenging to say right things when you feel totally wrong. When your emotions are running high or low, you are tempted to speak emotionally rather than sensibly. But you must allow wisdom to rise above emotion

God spoke about nonexistent things as if they already existed, and He created the world with faith-filled words. You are created in His image, and you can also call things that are not as though they are. You can speak positive things about yourself into the atmosphere and thereby "prophesy your future."

Think about the words you speak and you will learn a lot about yourself. As a Christian, you are God's representative, and your words should reflect His character. Meditating on the goodness of God will fill your heart with joy, and the words you speak will glorify Him and be a testimony to others.

Kat's Notes: I first have to remember to speak positive things into my own life, just like I attempt to do with others. My words affect me just as much as they affect other people and my tongue can positively or negatively affect the course my world takes.
Next I have to remember that I do have valuable words of wisdom to offer to others based on my own personal experiences. God has given me a special calling as a wife, mother, and friend and I have a ministry that will allow me to be a testimony to others about how to deal with the things that come with those titles.
I know someone else needed to hear these words. You have something of value to add to your own life, as well as others. It starts with the words you speak!
