The critic only lives if we let them live. Not the critic that is helpful and has your best interest at heart. I mean the spiteful one. the petty one. the one who said those things way back when. Maybe the one that just lives in your own head. That time is passed and the only voice that critic has in your life is yours.
I wonder how today would be different. I wonder how your next decision would change if you refused to give the critic words. The critic is a tricky companion because all critics are not created equally. Just because someone is critical doesn't automatically mean you should ignore them. But it also doesn't automatically mean they are right.
We can learn a lot from critic, correction, critical thinking and direction. But the trouble comes when we allow all critical voices to weigh the same amount. When it comes to making decisions and learning to trust God instead of our heart. We have to be careful who we allow in.
It's not necessary or healthy to have people always agree with you. The critic to most seriously consider is the one coming from those who believe in you. If someone who believes in you and your work is pointing out a weakness or trying to make things better, its helpful to consider their words with humility and grace. Resist the urge to close yourself off from them.
But if the critic not only disagrees but also doesn't believe in you, their words have less meaning. Like that stranger on the internet, the off hand opinion your brothers, girlfriends, sisters, roommate has of your Instagram post. The angry customer who just refuses to be satisfied. These are the ones who have the least right to influence your life. But somehow for some reason they end up getting the most power. how do I know? because right now as you are reading this I'm sure you can remember a particular critic voice in your mind and you remember their words exactly.
So what's your next right thing in this moment? it's time to call it truths. We aren't going to change their minds. Instead....lets change ours. Stop giving that critic words. Stop handing them the microphone. Take their seat from the table and put it out in the hall.
Jesus knows what it means to be questioned, challenged, humiliated and critiqued. Not once did he allow his negative critic to change one decision he made on earth. He was busy doing his father's business.
The critic points out my weakness and my fear but if I pay attention, they will also point out something else. A gift I would never dare to ask for and a motivation they never mean to give. The gift the critic brings whether we like it or not is a line in the sand. When the critic says words, we have to decide if we believe them. We have to decide who gets to say. The voice of the critic forces us to face our biggest fears and it turn, listen hard for the voice of God.
So I can worry or I can work. I can get stuck or I can move on. I can get defensive or I can be free.
Instead of giving the critic words. Here are some new words to consider: I believe nothing can separate me from the love of God.
If you have a decision to make to today, don't give your critic words. Be still, get quiet. Listen for God's voice and do the next right thing.
Cancer is a Blessing!
We all know someone who has had cancer. And believe it or not we all have some amount of cancer cells in our bodies. As long as we take care of our bodies and eat healthy the cancer cells cannot survive. Healthy cells thrive on oxygen but cancer cells thrive and feed on sugar.
38% of people will be diagnosed with cancer at some point in their lives.
It is impossible heal physically until we have healed spiritually and emotionally.
We all have the potential to be cancer killers. Its really not even a disease its a collection of stresses we impose on our body that causes the cells to mutate and adapt to a hostile environment.
We can eliminate the causes of stress and restore our bodies to its full potential.
Having a small amount of cancer cells in our body already keeps our immune system strong and ready to fight off anything. So really its a blessing.
Our habits on a daily basis can be more destructive than radiation and chemo.
Cancer cells replicate every 90 days in a conducive environment. So if we are eating junk food and not taking good care of our bodies. In 5 years you can have 1 million cancer cells but still undetectable. After 8 years will have doubled 32 times and is now 4 trillion cells. And at 10 years its considered lethal but most people don't even know that have it until the 7th year. They call it early detection but it might just be too late.
That is why its important to take care of your body by eating healthy and avoiding sugar.
DO IT NOW to keep your immune system strong and ready to fight off anything.
Our skin is our biggest organ and everything we put on our skin absorbs into your blood stream.
READ THE LABELS!!! If we can't eat it then we should not put it on our skin.
There has been scientific evidence that Prayer effects on a cellular level.
It actually does help us physically when we pray.
Cancer is a symptom of an unhealthy body. It shows up when a body is not functioning properly.
DO NOT LET ANYONE CUT INTO YOU, POISON YOU or BURN YOU with chemicals.
THEY DON'T WORK!!!
Our brain controls our body. We need to focus on good positive things and take care of our bodies with a healthy organic diet. Leave the results with God. When He is ready for us to go home he will take us no matter what.

Did you know that only 2% of people survive after taking chemo!?!?
Did you know that tamoxifen is a very well known cancer drug but has also been classified by the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION as a CARCINOGEN!?!?!
Imperial Chemical Industries also produced millions of pounds of vinyl chloride yearly which is a chemical in plastics linked SPECIFICALLY TO BREAST CANCER!
The American Cancer Society joined forces with the maker of tamoxifen to promote Breast Cancer Awareness Month encouraging women to get their mammograms so they can claim to have found a lump and give them
TAMOXIFEN (cancer causing drug)
From the NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE:
Regular mammograms may actually be more harmful than good. They only save 1 person for every 25000 that are screened. Among those 25000 screened, 1000 will be give a FALSE positive. Told they have cancer but they really DO NOT! 500 of them will have an UNNECESSARY biopsy even though its not cancer. 5 or more will be treated even if they didn't have cancer at all.
Cancer is a symptom of an unhealthy body. It shows up when a body is not functioning properly.
DO NOT LET ANYONE CUT INTO YOU, POISON YOU or BURN YOU with chemicals.
THEY DON'T WORK!!!
