Patience, Strength, and Hope!

Yay! I have a new kitten! She is so cute and soft. However, she is biting and scratching my hands all up at the moment.  Someone abandoned her little family. They were really not old enough to be taken away from their momma, but we had been looking for a kitten and God sent us this one. She reminds me of how the Devil can be though, He comes as a cute little kitten but can be a vicious as an angry lion.
    There is nothing worse than fresh scratches on your skin. A kitten can look cute, but their claws can hurt badly. I still love her and will keep her fed, watered, and entertained, but her claws hurt! We need to be careful in reality just the same, cause something can look cute as a kitten but really be the Devil in disguise. Most people have Satan pictured as a red animal with horns and a pitchfork, but the truth is, that He is everything we ever wanted.
    Every dream, every lustful wish, every boastful thought was put there by Satan to make you want to come over to his side. However, He knows He has already lost, otherwise, there would be no temptations or wishful thinking.  Satan wants to try everything in His strength to get us to fall back but God will always be there no matter what happens. 
   There will always be trials but God always shows up right on time.  God knows how much we can handle and will always lend us a ray of sunshine when we need it the most.  So we need to patient and keep praying for strength and guidance so that we will not be tempted by the Devil's Dreams.

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 !!
