Day 14 Of Reformation

Last night as I was laying in bed and my hubby was in the bathroom flossing his teeth, he said (in a garbled voice)
"Cheryl!!!!!!!!!!! Did you floss your teeth?/!!!"

My old pattern was to lay in bed listening to him floss, and tell myself that I'm too tired to get up and do it. But alas, last night, I had a feeling that I was going to be too tired, so I went and flossed at about 8pm! Whew! I got the praise of my hubby, and I am beginning to form a habit.

I've been doing lots of meditating and talking with God during this Reformation. He has been speaking to me through other peoples blogs, by His Spirit, through worship, and a myriad of other ways.

OK - brace yourself, I'm gonna be brutally honest now.

He said,

You know its no coincidence that you are forming a habit to floss Cheryl. I've got you cleaning out your mouth. I'm getting rid of the plaque and germs. But you had to choose to allow it to happen. YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Immediately He reminded me of the scripture that says, "Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks."

Well the truth hurts sometimes, but actually when the truth comes from God's mouth, it is coated with love, and mercy. I would rather hear it from Him than anyone else in the world because I know He always thinks the best of me, and Has good plans for me.

So, I accept His word to me, I see that He is transforming me, and cleaning up my mouth (which comes from the thoughts in my heart) and I am grateful. I am already beginning to feel the outcome, and eventually I will see the fruit of the seeds I am sowing. Spring is coming with the promise of new life! Yay God!!!!
