This is the master word bank for the month of April , 2019.  Each day, I withdraw one word and focus on it constantly.  At the end of 26 days, I will have internalized and applied the actions of 26 life-giving words.  I expect great changes when the words of my tongue call forth life.

I remember being excited when each of my sons spoke their first word.  Of course, it was Mama.  Well, maybe not, perhaps my memory is selective.  Whey my oldest son was 11 our neighbor was a language Professor. She introduced the action of rewarding each new word by putting a nickel into their word bank!

Words increase each year.  Phrases like “This is killing me.”  “I can’t.”   “I am dying to know.”  These are not examples of true and powerful statements.  Yet, once verbalized, we internalize them and they become real.  Guess what?

I went to the Urgent Care facility 2 weeks ago and the Dr. said you have pneumonia.  You can’t play with this.  It is deadly.  Well, if I didn’t feel near death when I went in, I sure felt it when I left. Death became real to me.  Fear gripped the little lung power I had left. Ouch!

The Bible gives us specific instructions for our words.

Proverbs 31:26    She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

Psalm 141:3  Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.

There are hundreds of scriptures instructing us how to speak.  Like mindless eating, I find my words to be lacking substance during the past 3 years.  Today it’s back to basics, learning words of life and internalizing them in my soul.  I will share with you how my progress goes!

When we journey into May, some words will change.  My key word for this year is Aware.   Awareness connects with every word in the word bank.  I must be aware of what I  say, do, think, see, hear, and touch.

How is the health of your mouth today?  It’s time to live,

Go Forth & Prosper,
