faith, not religion

   Too many times we get stuck in our own ruts, thinking that this is pleasing to God.  When, honestly, nothing is worse than being stuck in a certain religious routine.  God does wants us to worship Him in all things we do or say.  There is a song I like to sing called, " You Never Mentioned Him to Me." In this song the writer, James Rowe,  warns us as Christians to always be a witness to our friends and family because if we don't, their blood will be on our hands come judgment day.
    Judgment Day will be a day when all our works will be laid out  before God. We will be judged for what we do and obviously don't do while here on Earth. The only thing we can take to Heaven with us is someone else. If we don't listen to the spirit our blessings will surely be given to someone else and that will be no one else's fault but our own.  We might not all be preachers, or singers, or teachers, but we all can pray and always be kind to others as we meet them on their way.
    Even though we are not to force someone to come to Christ we are commanded to share salvation.
God may have a simple task in mind for some of us but it might mean a great deal to one who is in need of prayer and uplifting. I said that to say, the Devil will try His best to discourage God's children in anyway that He can.  But what He fails to remember is God has already won the war and and it up to us to praise HIM.  The devil will try everything to stop us but we must keep on testifying and growing in God's grace according to His will.

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 !!
