Don\u2019t we share our mind with God and others?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is true. It is saying that we don\u2019t share mind but instead that there is part of it that is my responsibility. If I pour garbage into the holy shared Mind of All, I created dissonance in the harmony of All That Is. I choose differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And, I know that God\u2019s Way is a better way so I am willing to let God guide my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8-24-2024<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cI have a kingdom I must rule.

None of it was good news, just people getting sicker for profits. As I closed the app, I stopped myself from pushing the messages aside and instead sent a message to Source. \u2018NO, I don\u2019t want this!\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this week I heard someone say, \u201cNo is a complete sentence.\u201d I immediately understood that many of us tend to give reasons and excuses when just needing to express that we do no want, agree with, or support a situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When my responses are wishy-washy, I am not ruling the kingdom of&nbsp; my mind. There are two reasons I recognize as to why I do this. One is to be considerate to not hurt the other person. The second is to avoid conflict. These seem like good reasons, so I am wanting more guidance and understanding on how to speak my truth with compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Help is wanted here! _\/\\_<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8-24-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cToday, I give its service to the Holy Spirit to employ as He sees fit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&lt;3<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My heart suddenly swelled, and a smile came to my face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hello! Welcome! Be with me HS! I give You my mind. And You give it back to me. It\u2019s all clean and light. Quiet. Creative. Ready for new, fun experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8-24-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;I have a kingdom I must rule.

And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. My mind can only serve.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My mind is my kingdom for ME to rule. I\u2019ve been around awhile and have had my mind pulled in many directions \u2013 sometimes to extremes. Today, I rule it. And I know that opening it up to HS is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Come, be in me and with me.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>&#8220;Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit, to employ as He sees fit.
