Self-Talk: Change your mind, change your life - Sally H. Hall

Hall, Sally H.: - Much like a roller coaster, my life has been a wild ride of ups, downs, twists, and turns. Negative words, shattered dreams, acts of rejection, betrayal, failures as well as broken and lost relationships-all of it, has shaped my thinking and trained my mind. The wild ride has brought me joy, messed me up and taken me higher and lower than I ever imagined. Can you relate? Whether riding up or down, my self-talk became what I believed about myself, others, my life, and the world in general. My basis for making decisions was whatever felt right, was comfortable or made me happy. Of course, whatever felt right, was comfortable or made me happy could change from day today! Honestly, my wild ride in this crazy world was like being on the biggest, most scary roller coaster ride in the dark with no strong bar to grip! It wasn't until I was in her 40's that I discovered God in His Word had much to say about this world in which we live, the people in it and why the ride is so wild. When I finally got my grip on the strong bar of God's Word, my first thoughts were Had I only known sooner! and Why didn't someone tell me? Whether serving in ministry leadership positions, writing Bible studies or speaking at numerous retreats, seminars or conferences, my driving passion, heart's desire, and life's mission is to help others discover and embrace God's Word as absolute truth-sooner rather than later! Because I know what it's like to have a messed-up thought life, and no idea how to make things better, my heart aches for people to understand the Bible is our manual for life that's meant to be explored, enjoyed, treasured, and lived out!
