The Crew Chief And The Crew Members
TThe beginning of a day starts early for me. I took some time today to reflect on its way to either encourage me or discourage me. I’m learning that my mornings don’t have to be controlled by my thoughts or emotions. What begins a day in discouragement is my mind sometimes filled with nonsense and doubts about myself. I heard what I really need in the mornings is meditation to find my crew leader. The goodness and mercy from the one who made me. There is one of those discouraging thoughts in the morning is I’m lonely. Then, I’m not good enough. When in meditation I can push through those thoughts. There are the other thoughts I have to push through. She or he let me down. My health is dragging me down. Why did someone leave me? I’ve heard some faith speakers say we should not meditate, I’m at the conclusion of that seeing people are not always members of your crew of goodness and mercy. I’m looking within to find what my Crew Chief puts in my head to replace all the outside noise.
The things I mentioned lead people into discouragement. It’s alright to put up boundaries but not roadblocks. Someone might need help from your Crew Chief. I don’t want to dream up accusations against me that are pure nonsense. There is an adversary who makes it his business to do that for me anyway. This is why I need the Crew Chief, who is above me in my simple thought. My meditation needs to begin with gratefulness that’s part of my crew members too. Those feelings won’t lead me wrong. Finding joy and love for other people are also the crew members who shows mercy to anyone who has done something wrong to me. Asking the hard questions to the Crew Chief, what is the one thing I can do today that will help me stay focused on doing the right thing for you and the crew members. The thing that most say, I don’t have time to meditate or Pray. My car has issues, coffee, my social media pages are all places we can meditate if we are wanting to do the thing we say we don’t have time for. Beginning my day should be a thankful one because I don’t know what the day holds and one day at a time is all I can handle. 🙏

Thank you for reading. My Crew Chief is Jesus Christ, who without Him my days would look very self-centered. He has been my choice for as many years as I kave have called His name.
