Proverbs 18

Verses 2 'A fool finds no pleasure in understanding but delights in airing his own opinions',4 'The words of a mans mouth are deep waters,but the fountain of wisdom is a bubbling brook' and 10 'The name of the Lord is a strong tower;the righteous run to it and are safe',all popped out at me today!

I feel like Proverbs,so far,was specifically written for me,for right now in my life! (funny how that works,guess God did know all this bible stuff would help :p ).

Sometimes I find it really hard to be positive when speaking to others,my life can get pretty boring (housework,kids,more housework,doing more stuff with the kids lol),and in the past I have felt that complaining gives us something to talk about!Not cool aye .I've started to learn (as in,really learn,not just because someone has told me,but because it is true!),that verse 21a 'The tongue has the power of life and death' is completely true!Even in friendships,yeah you have times where things are just crud and you need to talk about it,but remembering the positive things are even better!Its ok to have a whinge and a moan (who doesn't ) but for me I need to have a bit of caution and watch what I say.If I constantly complain (that being a negative thing),chances are negative things are going to happen,even if its that the person Ive been complaining too,getting fed up with it (and me!).
So for me that's where verse 2 and 4 come in.I think listening to God and His wisdom,and even if I just simplify it,where if I try and speak out of love as much as I can,that that will make a positive difference. Dont want to be a fool!

Verse 10,gosh in the last few weeks I have really learnt (not saying I'm righteous!) just how much of a strong tower God is in my life.I need to rely and lean on Him.It doesn't make life perfect,but it makes life easier knowing there is an Almighty being who is right next to me for me to lean on.I am so so SO glad that I serve a God who is there for me,and who somehow had all these things written down so I could try and have a happier,more peaceful life.So I could be a happier wife,mother,friend and relation.

Yup,thats what I got out of verse 18 :)
