I pastor women of all ages in emotional and transitional pain--survivors of sexual abuse, domestic volinece, eating disorders and depression. I am also a researcher who mines information. I spent over twenty years working in the health sciences field. I have walked this walk…and continue to do so. Tiger Woods once said, "There's always stuff to work on. You're never there." Counselors and physicians do a great job of identifying emotional and physical issues and then prescribing solutions. As your spiritual guide, I want to help you become more skillful in the use of God's Word as a biblical foundation to meet your daily challenges. God's word is the foundation to being positive, staying positive, saying positive affirmations and thinking inspirational thoughts. It is the antedote to stinking thinking!

Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. I have dubbed this biblical process R.E.S.I.S.T.

• Recognize everyday you are in spiritual battle with the world, with yourself, and with an adversary. Recognize God's desire is to mold you into a woman that reflects Jesus in character, attitude, thought, and action.
• Embrace your God-designed personality and your birthright. Embrace the truth. You will never be more like Christ than when you are immersed in, and living out, biblical truth.
• Submit your negative thoughts to Christ. This means consciously handing over anxiety, worry, pain, and bitterness. He stands prepared to take your load and break the chains of thought bondage if you let him.
• Identify & interrogate the negative things and lies you say to yourself, thereby enabling yourself to replace lies and distortions with truth.
• Set your mind and heart on God, thereby washing yourself of the will to run your own life.
• Thank and praise God. Through Jesus, continually offer God a sacrifice of praise (Heb. 13:15). He not only saved you from the clutches of sin, he is working to reconcile your inner conflicts, heal your brokenness, and change your entire life.
  
  R.E.S.I.S.T. is not a step-by-step process, but an integrated mind and lifestyle change. Take a look inside. See yourself as you really are! No more negative self-esteem. Jesus was angry with the Pharisees for looking at and worrying about only the outside of their lives (Matt. 23:26). Changing our mind -- cleaning up our insides --is essential if we want to develop an intimate relationship with our Father--it is the power behind positive thinking.
  

We each face a dilemma the moment we say yes to Christianity:


1. Live in thought-bondage and allow our negative thoughts and emotions to control us. Or,
2. Stay stagnant-spiritually, emotionally and relationally. Or,
3. Confront and conquer toxic negativethoughts and emotions, jump starting the personal growth process of thinking and acting more like Jesus.

What do you choose? If you are serious about tossing out negative and toxic thoughts you will be walked thorugh the process in the book: Breaking The Cover Girl Mask: Toss Out Toxic Thoughts. You will be given proven techniques you can apply immediately to help optimize heart and mind, even brain, function. You will not only understand yourself better, but you'll understand why other people do what they do. You can do this! "For nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37).
