Thursday’s Trench Truth

Welcome to Coffee Hour @ Chicklit Power and Thursday’s Trench Truth with Trench Classes United. Allow me to introduce myself and invite you into a few of the details of my life!

My name is Kat Lange and I am a freelance graphic designer, a connoisseur of coffee and all things sweet, a full-time mama to my little chicken nuggets (ages 6 & 7), a wife to an awesome Veteran Psychologist, and of course a big time cheerleader for the Lord.  I am super excited to be here with y’all sharing my little piece of know-how.  So put on some comfy clothes (preferably yoga pants, an oversized sweater and some slippers… my personal favs), grab a venti extra hot Pumpkin Spice Latte and stay a while.

I am learning that learning to be more intentional within our interactions is a key to living a healthy life.  This is something I think many of us struggle with because we have our routines and our busy schedules so who has time to pause and think deeply?  We need to learn to switch off the cruise control of life and be more intentional in our relationships, interactions, with our confidence, goals, and dreams in life.  

If you are lost and broken, take a moment to pause, reflect and realize you might need to change lanes and reset your direction.  Try to stay focused on that direction but know that even if you veer off the path, as long as you have a goal your course can be corrected.  It can be changed to an alternative route to get you back on the right track.  

Always keep moving forward but know it is ok to stop and reset. Here’s a great verse that tells us how: Colossians 3:2: Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.

By being intentional about your life you are prioritizing what you value.  Value the good and ignore the toxicity in your life, for it will only mislead you if you play into it.  So many times in my life I have come to realize that I was feeling so icky and my emotional state was so “junked” up because I have not taken a second to realize where I was on my path.  My car was doing donuts in the dirt and my windshield was dusty with confusion.  

By applying those brakes in life and cleaning my system – aka, my mind, I can inevitably clear my view to redirect myself.  This is a redirection away from toxic thinking and negative ways onto an intentional goal and a more fulfilling life. Here’s another great verse to tell us how: Romans 12:9: Love must be sincere.  Hate what is evil; cling to what is good.

These are a couple of valuable trench truths to take with us in the journey of Christianity and I love the fact that I get to share them here.  

Have a blessed and Thankful Thursday

Love,

Kat
