Mindful Monday: Ongoing Practice

Mindful Monday: On Monday's I'm going to share what's been on my mind. I by no means have any of this figured out, I'm just thinking out loud here.


Once again I find my mind going a million directions.  My thoughts feel as scattered as broken glass and piecing them together seems like it will take more energy than it's worth.  Perhaps God is using these times to direct me back to his Truth.  I need to replace my thoughts with his thoughts all throughout the day.  This is not a task or accomplishment that can be checked off or finished. It's an ongoing practice that must be repeated over and over, much like breathing or the beating of a heart.
