New Mindset

New Mindset
Our Mindset enables or disables us in everything that we do. A New Mindset is an essential part of who we are, how we act, and what we say.
Getting to the root of our way of thinking
Traditions; our upbringing, teaching, environment is always foundational. It’s the slab that is poured before the building begins. Depending on who the builder is depends on the stability of the house.
• What was a foundational belief in your childhood home (relationships, school, God)? Do you still have that same belief?
• What was the best advice someone has given you in you teenage years? Did it benefit you or not?

• What was common in the lifestyle of your neighbors, friends in your neighborhood? Do you practice any of those actions today?
These questions are just to give you an idea of foundational myths/truths that possible shaped you in a positive or negative way.
Every one of us have been shaped in some way positive/ negative because of our upbringing, teaching, and environment. Those are the roots that begin to shape the way that we think our mindset.
Example: When a mother tells her children no don’t touch that is hot. Instantly that child knows every time she sees that stove she will remember her mother’s words. (teaching)
The same child sees her mother feeding her baby brother with a bottle she begins to model/copy what mommy is doing with her doll. Dad always comes home angry and screaming at her mother. The child response is to comfort her mother, and to dislike men with the same characteristics. (environment)
Those three aspects of our lives shape our mindset, our perception/ view of things. Some things are obvious and some are invisible. Part of getting a new mind is identifying what shape it from the beginning.

 

Defining Moments

What do you consider to be a defining moment in your life?

Was it when you became a mother, husband, wife, employee etc

What defines you?

Do we allow our circumstances to define us? How we act, or look at something or someone based on that circumstance. How do we see ourselves when we are going through a storm?

Honestly this question is very important because it’s your view of your self.

Everyday!

When I look back the person I am today I would have never thought I would be where I am today. One day when I pregnant with my first little girl Keora I cried Lord help me see what you see in me. Because I don’t see it, I don’t see your child. I see someone who doesn’t deserve what she has and who will not be able to keep what you have given her. The way I viewed myself was a mirror of my past. How can someone who has been abused be married, how can her husband be satisfied with her forever. When she isn’t satisfied with her self. I looked at my marriage with the view of the world that two people could never be satisfied with each other. Till death do us part! That will never happen people in the world are always looking for more.My view wasn’t God’s view nor His Word The Living Truth.

Who’s reflection did I see? That of a victim not a victor. But the key is to continually seek God’s face. The creator of me, my soul, my mind, my whole being.

I love that scripture For in him we live, and move and have our being. Acts 17:28

In him My Savior, My lord, The Lover of my soul.

We should see no one else reflection, but Our Father in heaven.

He lives and resides in us. We should see him! Not our past, situation, circumstances,trial, error, failures, mistakes etc.

Those things do not determine who we are or what we should become. It is he who have the first and last word. His is the Author and the finisher of my faith.

Amen

When I was younger, my perception was distorted as can be. When I look back I made foolish decisions based on my point of view.

How our children view or perceive themselves starts from what they see, and hear from us. There surroundings, church, school, grocery store etc. Adds to their perception of things.

The way I communicated with my friends , or any kind of relationship. Based on what I was taught to say or do. And what I saw in my family.

We all have different views but it’s important to make sure our view/perception is God’s perception.

Question: If your daughter/son tells you mom/ or dad I want to have sex or I want to do drugs what will be your response to this.

Will you give him or her a condom and say I’m glad you told me be safe. Because most kids don’t say anything to their parents. Or tell them to go in the back room and smoke it’s o.k. as long as they do it at home.

What is God’s view on this? Is that a Godly response?

Will you pray with them read the word and explain temptation and sin. The consequences of sin! Teach them self control, how to resist the devil in this time.

If we don’t teach them how to resist there will be many things our kids will do because of lack of foundation in Christ.

We need to respond the way God’s word teaches us to!
