Think on this

Psalm 37:10 says “Soon the wicked will disappear. Though you look for them, they will be gone.”

I’m happy to say that this verse above is coming true for me. The wicked are gone. I don’t look for them, but I’ve made sure I don’t stumble across them either. If I have an infection I get the most aggressive treatment I can to get rid of it. If something hurts I don’t intentionally keep doing it (except for running and weight training). And so I disinfected my life.

I cleaned out my email. I cleaned out my face book messages. I did this by a date range. The good, the bad, and the ugly. I didn’t want to be reminded of things. I also deleted full threads of texts. Again, some positive, some negative, but that’s what had to happen to get rid of the negative. I like to save nice things and read them again. But when you have to wade through poop to get to them, it’s not worth it.

I’m starting fresh. I’m collecting new positive comments. (Please feel free to contribute. Compliments are unashamedly encouraged. You always can tell me how great I am). I even got rid of clothes that had bad memories. I threw a book away.
Memories are harder, but I have lots of good memories; some old, some new, and I will keep building new ones. How can I do this? I’ll end like I started, with a Scripture.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honest, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.(AKJV)
