• Acknowledge my dependence upon God, affirm my intention to trust in Him, and voice skepticism of my own understanding (Prov 3v5-6)

• Preach the gospel to myself
• Get my soul happy before God by meditation on scripture.

seasons...

Here is a quick note i scribbled down from the girltalk book - Shopping for time

We go through different seasons (ecclesiates) - none of us would choose a time to weep or a time to mourn or a time of sickness - it is what God chooses for us. We need to humble ourselves and acknowledge 'God you are in charge and I humbly accept your plan for the changing seasons of my life'.
