Shhhhh: YOU TALKS TOO MUCH!

There is so much to say, but every thing that can be said shouldn't! I admit, sometimes I am guilty of talking too much & not listening enough. Because I encounter various situations & want to share my experiences, testimonies, highs, lows, etc., I tend to do just that without realizing if I actually should have in the first place. But do you know what the beauty behind all of this is? I LIVE & I LEARN! Even "I" am not always correct nor do I have all of the answers. Now, I shared that because I want to encourage others (& myself) to sometimes HUSH UP & PAY ATTENTION, lol! Every good thing is not a "GOD" thing, as told by one of my sisters in Christ, and I am taking heed to that advice/statement. I absolutely love to encourage people and give my advice on practical, real life situations that I've encountered. Nothing brings me more joy than to see a person sincerely happy because of a problem I helped them overcome (with God's help of course). But, I also know that talking too much isn't always a good thing to do. Its a difference between babbling off at the mouth- speaking words of nonsense, and speaking words of substance (at which I pray that I've been doing). RESTING the mouth and the brain is definitely in order. Instead of talking, thinking, talking, & thinking.....I should mainly be listening, listening, and listening some more to God! When God says speak, then that's what I should do. When God says hush, then that's what I should do as well. I've never really been the type to want the last word because the more one talks, the more trouble they dig themselves into and Lord knows I'm not trying to do that, lol. I thank God for showing me things about myself that I may not have otherwise been aware of. I can take the heat because it helps me to prosper & move forward! So I'm in the process of learning to just zzzzzzzip it up sometimes & tune my ears towards God a bit more. I have no problem admitting when I need some "adjustments" both with my attitude & spirit man because I want to continue climbing UP the ladder. Life is about growth, & I am certainly doing that....

Are you guilty of this? I'd love to read your comments if you desire to leave them.

Thanks for reading :-)

P.S.- Its FRIDAY & the weekend is here! Do something for yourself that makes YOU happy! Stop stressing and worrying over things you can't change. Let the chips fall where they may & give allllll of that "stuff" to God!
