 When you listen to the kids today talk, everything is abbreviated. I’m always asking what are you saying or what does that mean? It took me back to a time when my words were not so great. They were awful. I used foul language like it was normal. I talked negative all the time. I didn’t grow up like that. I wasn’t taught to speak like that. Why was I choosing to talk that way? At the time I didn’t care to know. When I realized what was coming out of my mouth, it made me sick to my stomach. Do you ever think about what you’re about to say out your mouth, or do you just say whatever comes up? That was me. Whatever came up, came out. When I think how awful I sounded, I used to say do you want me to wash out your mouth with soap? It was my mouth that needed wash out with something stronger than soap. I needed to change what I was saying. It was ridiculous. It wasn’t funny at all. Every other word a curse word, every word, a negative word, this went on for years. Had I got immune to what was coming out my mouth? To the fact that I didn’t even think about what I was saying and didn’t matter who I said it in front of, so disrespectful. I wondered if this is what’s in my heart. I needed to change my words; I had to change. Take this journey with me of the deliverance of my words.
