hi Shannon, how are you? um....i am well!

for the last week or so i have become acutely aware of what comes out of my mouth.  growing up we were taught the power of our words. Proverbs 18:20 & 21 says:

^"20 From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled; 

   with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied.

 ²¹ The tongue has the power of life and death, 

   and those who love it will eat its fruit."

with the knowledge that i have the power to speak life or death over my body, i began to have a hard time answering the question "So Shannon, how are you doing?".  clearly things are not going according to my grand plan, & it's more than obvious that my body is not performing like a normal 28yr old's should. But i refuse to speak death over my life for another minute!!!  from now on when asked "how are you doing Shannon?", i will respond with a confident & life giving "I am well"!  And if i need to go into the details of my condition or my life's circumstance i can & will, but for now i am choose to profess that i am well!

thanks momma for the lesson learned!
