Exercise Your Gifts !

Sometimes the Devil will try to tell you that Your gifts are not important. He will try to emphasize that other people are better or more popular than you.  In reality, analytics do not matter to God.  He does not need you but created you for His glory and if we do not exercise our gifts He will take them away from us completely.  It does not matter if someone likes or dislike your music or song, what matters is God's approval.  He created us and all other things for praising Him.  I know its been said before but if we do not obey Gods calling, the rocks will cry out and we in turn will miss a blessing that was meant to be ours.
   Obeying God is something we, personally have to be able and willing to do on our own.  No one else is fitted to receive the blessing God created for you as an individual.  It is hard to keep in mind sometimes, but we were created to Worship God, not to gain achievements for ourselves.  If we press to always be like Jesus, then we are fulfilling God's plan in a way that we could not ever imagine.
    It seems like lots of people are discouraged but are they trying to accomplish their own goals or what God has planned for them?  That is a question we must ask ourselves when trying to edify God's church.  It does not matter what denomination you serve in, your actions must glorify God to your fullest potential.  It is only then that God will be glorified.  So we must exercise our faith and be willing to look past our fears, if we don't use the gifts God has given us, He will surely take them away.

Food For Thought

A journaling topic that Kim Erickson suggests is as following, " Write some things that happened this week that got in the way of your having a joyful day."   Well,  honestly, I could sit down forever and talk about this topic.  It's these kind of affirmations that have really gotten me through the day.  I wish I had known about them when I was younger.  Middle School and High school might have been a little easier.  However, I never really had any bullies attack me then.  At that time, the only real bully was my inner-self.  I stayed positive and always tried to keep my mind on God and things that do not concern this world.  Happy places, quiet places, and dreaming about far off worlds usually kept my mind busy.   That is how it is today as well, but sometimes, having a reminder every now and then doesn't hurt.   Not everyone is going to be your friend, and not every one is going to send positive vibes.  Sometimes you have to do it yourself, you have to wake up thi

for Thursday

s   I have been reviewing products for a while now.  I usually try to pick items that I actually want to use on a day to day basis.  Excitingly, this is one of the recent items I earned in exchange for an honest", unbiased", opinion.  My opinion is that it is "awesome!"     I will use this bag every time I go to the gym to workout.  Of course, my definition of "working out," is not the same as everyone else's definition yet, but I am stepping  higher each time.  Having fancy gym attire is not required, but definitely very, very helpful.    I am sure that people will eventually get tired of hearing about this bag, I am proud to own it.  I would have paid the full amount for this bag.  It has many, many pockets and a place for your water bottle as well.  It not only can be used as a gym bag, but as a travel bag also.  I love the length of the shoulder strap.  The best part about the shoulder strap is the padding they added for extra support.    Thi

Ten Ways I Stay Motivated

1.  Start the day with prayer or meditation. 2. Brew a good cup of coffee. 3.  Go over my list of goals. 4.  Set new goals ones the old ones are accomplished. 5.  Listen to motivational podcasts or youtube videos. 6.  Read biographies of people who have survived cancer or some amazing trauma.  This helps to remind me that no problem is too big for God. 7.  I try to look in the mirror and say affirmations every morning.  Some of these affirmations are the same ones and some are different.  8. Try to keep a good, constant routine. 9.  Write or draw in my journal. 10.  Reward myself for accomplishments.  After all, you deserve it. Hope you have a wonderful week !!
