Dear readers, I would like to take you on a journey of
transformation with me. It is so much fun to walk alongside of someone to
discover God’s presence and beauty manifest.
For a very long period of my life I spoke a negative confession over and over. Inside of me I had a desire to turn that around, but I felt blocked by my own words. That wrong confession was a statement “I don’t know.” I used to say this phrase so many times a day and just imagine how many times that would be a year. I ran to that statement every time I saw a difficulty, every time someone asked me a question and at other various times. One time the Lord brought that to my attention, and I had a strong urge to change that. However, there was no visible long lasting results, I still continued to use that negative confession.

In hearing Olga
Golikova preach, the Lord
spoke through her that we need to pay attention to the little details of our
lives and to bring them to order. She used an example of wrong speech, such as
“I don’t know,” “I can’t,” and others. She explained that a negative habit
takes a while to change, but we need to take responsibility and become
diligent. Instead of saying wrong
confessions, as such above, we can say, “I want to know,” or “I would like to
find out,” “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Today I was putting to practice that which I heard yesterday.
To my amazement how quick and easy those negative words want to slip out of my mouth
and I had to gird them with the right words. It is a fun and enjoyable work to
catch those foxes, so that my garden may be beautiful and prosperous to the
Lord and to others.

vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.” Song of Solomon 2:15
