HOW TO REPLACE 'BAD HABITS' WIT 'GOOD HABITS!'

DAILY INSPIRATION

Habits are the thought and emotional patterns engraved on our minds. These internal habit patterns play just as forceful a role as external influences on our actions, in fact, perhaps more so...
As unbelievers, we formerly gave ourselves to developing habits of unholiness-what Paul called "ever-increasing wickedness" (Romans 6:19). Every time we sinned-every time we lusted, coveted, hated, cheated, or lied-we were developing habits of ever increasing wickedness. These repeated acts of unrighteousness became habits that made us, in fact, slaves to sin!!
Though we are to deal with these habits of unholiness, we must not try to do it in our own strength. Breaking sinful habits must be done in cooperation with the Holy Spirit and in dependence upon Him. The determination that "I'll not do that anymore," based upon sheer human resolve, has never once broken the shackles of sin. But there are practical principles which we can follow to train ourselves in godliness.
Though we are to deal with these habits of unholiness, we must not try to do it in our own strength. Breaking sinful habits must be done in cooperation with the Holy Spirit and in dependence on Him. The determination that "I'll not do that anymore," based upon sheer human resolve, has never once broken the shackles of sin. But there are practical principles which we can follow to train ourselves in godliness.
The first principle is that habits are developed and reinforced by frequent repetition....This is the principle underlying the fact that the more we sin the more we are inclined to sin. But the converse is also true. The more we say NO to sin, the more we are inclined to say NO!
Therefore, in dependence on the Holy Spirit, we must systematically work at acquiring the habit of saying no to the sins that so easily entangle us. We all know what these sins are; the sins to which we are particularly vulnerable. We begin by concentrating on saying NO to these. Then God will lead us to work on other sins which we may not even be aware of at this time. The more we succeed in saying NO to our sinful desires, the easier it becomes to say NO.
In the same manner we can develop positive habits of holiness. We can develop the habit of thinking thoughts that are pure, true and good. We can develop the habits of prayer and meditating on the Scriptures. But these habits will only be developed through frequent repetition.

8 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgement between a man and his neighbor, if you do not opress the strnger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt , then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever. AMEN!
Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. 9 Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear faulsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after gods whom you do not know, 10 and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say 'we are delivered to do all these abominations'?  11 Has this house, which is called by my name, become a den of thieves in your eyes? behold, I, even I, have seen it,: says the Lord. Jeremiah 7:8-11

Providing Glasses in the US How the Program Operates

If you are approved for assistance by New Eyes or by one of our participating social service agencies, the process to receive glasses is as follows: Your agency rep will receive a blue and white voucher on your behalf. Do not order your glasses before receiving the voucher. You may take the voucher to any dispenser in your area as payment for your new eyeglasses. Make sure the optician is willing to provide your eyeglasses for the rates printed on the voucher. There are thousands of opticians around the United States who will readily accept a New Eyes voucher as payment for glasses. However, click here if you need assistance in locating a participating dispenser in your area. A New Eyes voucher typically covers only the cost of a basic pair of single or bifocal eyeglasses. New Eyes does not endorse the purchase of more costly glasses at a client's additional expense. The intent of our program is to help those most in need. Clients who have sufficient resources to supplement our voucher should not be eligible for our program. Do not pay the optician yourself. The dispenser will receive reimbursement directly from New Eyes. Make sure to use the voucher before the expiration date.

IMAGINE A WOMAN

Imagine a woman who believes it is right and good
she is a woman
A woman who honors her experience and tells her
stories
Who refuses to carry the sins of others within her body
and life
Imagine a woman who believes she is good
A Woman who trusts and respects herself.
Who listens to her needs and desire, and meets them
with tenderness and grace.
Imagine a woman who has acknowledged the past's
influence on the present. A woman who has walked
through her past.
Who has healed into the present.
Imagine a woman who authors her own life.
A woman who exerts, initiates, and moves on her own
behalf. Who refuses to surrender except to her truest
self and her wisest voice.
Imagine a woman who names her own gods.
A woman who imagines the divine in her image and
likeness.
Who designs her own spirituality and allows it to form
her daily life.
Imagine a woman in love with her own body.
A woman who believes her body is enough, just as it is.
Who celebrates the accumulation of her years and
wisdom.
Who refuses to use precious energy disguising the
changes in her body. And her life.
Imagine a woman who values the women in her life.
A woman who sits in circles of women.
Who is reminded of the truth about herself when she
forgets.
Imagine yourself as this woman.
