Telling Ourselves the Truth

Today I want you to meet my sweet and amazing friend Jennifer Rothschild. Jennifer is a wife, mom, national speaker, founder of WomensMinistry.net and author of several books, including “Self-talk, Soul-talk: What to Say When You Talk to Yourself“ as well as “Me, Myself and Lies Bible Study.“

She is also speaking with me on the Girls GetAway Cruise in October {and we’d love for you to join us!! – more details below}. For now, turn up your volume, click on the arrow and join us for some girl-talk:

Jennifer’s points really are worth remembering, and obviously I need to write them down. So, here is what she encouraged us to do with the not-so-encouraging words we sometimes say to ourselves.
  • Recognize – Recognize if your self-talk matches up with God’s thoughts.
  • Refuse – Refuse any self-talk that is not consistent with God’s words.
  • Re-phrase – Re-phrase negative thoughts to align with scripture. Tell yourself the TRUTH, and nothing but God’s truth!

When we take these 3 steps, God begins to erase negative self-talk and lies. Speaking of erasers, Jennifer needed one that morning. Before we met, she bent over to pick something up, and hit her eye on the edge of the desk. {Cringe} She had a video shoot that afternoon, and a lovely black eye. So, I whipped out what I call my “magic eraser” makeup and covered it up. Look. You cannot even see the deep dark purple mark under her eye.

So, what is my “magic eraser”? It’s Maybelline’s Eraser Treatment MakeUp, and it’s only $7.99! Today’s your chance to win some, along with Jennifer’s book:

  2. Oh, also I forgot–but I already get your e-mail updates. If I’m short on time–I read yours 1st. You always are a blessing.

  4. Shared on Facebook and I already receive your email. I so look forward to your new videos and blog. I have been checking nonstop for a new one. FINALLY, got it and it was well worth waiting for. THANKS !!!!

  9. Hi! I LOVE the 3 R’s! Thank you for sharing this! 🙂 I need to get steps 2 and 3 down. 🙂
    I shared on Facebook as well as Twitter and I subscribe to Renee’s email. 🙂

  10. I have loved & grown so much while reading and studying A Confident Heart. Words and thoughts are so powerful, and this video shared practical points in dealing with the negativity we hear from others and more so from ourselves. Thanks so much.

    I shared the video on Facebook & have been signed up for emails for a while.

  11. I shared the video on Twitter. I tried to share on Facebook but couldn’t for some reason. Thank you and God bless you.

  12. I shared this on my Facebook account. I tend to have a lot of negative self talk. Most of mine stem from thinking that others do not truly care about me. I know that the root is being sexually abused as a young girl. It is amazing, IF we do not turn those areas of our lives over to God they will haunt us for years. That has been over 40 years ago and I am still effected today. Perhaps others can share on how to let go of the negative self talk. THank you so much for sharing.

  13. I shared the link on Facebook and already receive the email updates.

    I appreciate the reminder about self-talk because it is one of the areas I really struggle with. It is something I have to continually work on. I like the idea of using the 3 R’s: Recognize, Refuse, Re-phrase.

  14. I never was told the positive words in my life and now I know that I have to believe that God really loves me and wants me to know that. I am working at saying what God says about me and I am starting to realize more and more that when those thoughts come, I can speak what God says about me and take authority over the negative words in my life. I love what you all said on the video. Thank you for sharing and helping us to see that we all have a purpose and that I can be who God says I am.

  16. I shared via email to friends who need to hear these words of encouragement. Thanks for being a light and helping us be a light to others.

  17. Thanks for sharing your encouraging words. I am in the process of retraining my thoughts and being transformed into the woman God created me to be. I need to speak truth to myself as well as others.

  18. THANKS for the 3-Rs!! I really needed to hear that today! I think I am already signed up for e-mails updates. God Bless you both!

  19. Posted the link on Facebook and Twitter! And I’ve already signed up for your updates. 🙂

    I love Jennifer! Her positive attitude is amazing!! Blessings to you both!

  20. Thank you for the 3 R words Recognize, Refuse, and Re -phrase and I ‘M already sign up for email. Thanks God Bless, Felicia
