One More Step ...Away from "Ruminating"

Listening to K-Love Christian Music Radio has undoubtedly restructured my cognitive thinking. For 31 days, I evaded listening or even humming to secular music. It was a real challenge for me not to go to You Tube and devoid myself from listening to old song favorites. However; I'm elated of the outcome---one step away from self-defeating, destructive mental habits. Thank God for His mercy!!!
Today is a good day for returning the wrong merchandise that my son bought in an Office Depot Store. He just gave up to negotiate with them because once these inks are opened from their original packages, returning them is not an option. But a very welcoming nagging thought persisted in my brain.
While still in the car, I just prayed , "God, let your grace be in the overflow..." Then I know that my confirmation, God's hand is already @ work before even going in the store. One of the store supervisors told me without hesitation
to go get the right inks and she'll do the exchange for me. I felt like my feet were swifter even with my heels on and my heart to a flutter. And I was thankful also for her generous accommodation in lieu to the store's policy.
What did I actually learn from this situation?
I say "mindfulness which is focusing and responding on the present without judgment." It's more on engaging yourself to be still in His presence and know that He is God.

But anyway, Happy First Day of February, 2012!
