Good day to you,
I was walking from one of my classes today, thinking about my thoughts. I realized that most of the time, my thoughts are incomplete. I think in half sentences, or just words, which can allow some really negative things get in. I have heard from teachers, like Graham Cooke, that I should take each thought captive; it is biblical...today, however, I realized how polluted my head can get if I let half-thoughts take over. It also stifles my ability to communicate when I think incomplete thoughts.
So, the reverse: think whole thoughts. Think complete thoughts. When I really think about what is going on in my head, when I take my thoughts captive, I have a clearer view of the things going on around me, my worries and anxieties (that should be given to God!) and the real hurts and pains hidden deep in my heart.
Today I was feeling this dankness while walking back from one of my classes. When I completed the thought "I just want to eat..." it became "I just want to eat because it will make me comfortable, help me cover up the way i'm feeling, and it will feel good." It kind of widened my eyes.
It also is very poetic to finish my thoughts. Some of the deepest woundings can come out of the time when I really think about it. I challenge you to do the same...be poetic.
Cheers,
David
