My Social Media-less Life

Bloganuary Writing Prompt:
What’s a lie you tell yourself?

I don’t know that I do. Or if I do, they’re subconscious.

There are, of course, the typical day-to-day lies.
”I’ll get gas in the morning.”
”I don’t need coffee today.”
”I’ll remember what I need at the store without a list.”

Things like that. And in some cases, those lies are just as much to my detriment as if I were telling myself other lies.

Lies that sound more like:
”I’ll never be a published author.”
”Nobody cares what I think.”
”I’ll never be great with finances.”

^I used to tell myself lies like that all the time. And then I had a “come to Jesus” moment and realized those kinds of things are speaking death over myself when, as a child of the King of the Universe, I should only be speaking life.

Because only life is what the King speaks.

It’s a struggle to be an imitator of my Heavenly Father, but a precedent was set by Someone Who was actually able to do it. And I am to be like Him, so I do my best.

Sometimes I fail, but it’s less than it used to be… and that’s becoming a little more like Jesus everyday.

Though to be fair, I still write down what I need from the store otherwise I get nothing I need and everything I want.
