Blank Pages of Life

  In life there are certain things that we all must face.  The pages must be written by ourselves alone because no one else can tell our stories.  It is kind of like staring at a blank page when you begin an essay or story.  There is nothing more scary than not knowing what is coming next in our lives.  God did not mean for us to walk alone but I believe that is most interesting part of the journey.
    A blank page just stares at us screaming out for something to be written on it.  There is nothing like having a problem and not knowing what it is.  If you can imagine with me for a minute.  Take a trip in your mind to a far off place in which you have never been.  Imagine that you are going through a dark tunnel and can not see around you.  The Devil wants to make us think we are alone but there is always light somewhere.
     A blank page to a write is sord of like being in a world by yourself not knowing what is going to happen.  You are always in perpetual motion trying to think of the following words to write down.  Somehow the words though, eventually come flowing through and onto paper just like it was never a problem.  It is funny to me how scary a blank page really can be.  Did you ever take a moment and think about your own blank pages?  There is so many stories to tell, but did you forget a page or two because you were not patient enough to wait on God?
     Blank pages are not really that scary when you think of all the wonderful topics that could be written down.  Life is so full of surprises, whether good or bad.  Just like a little kid at Christmas time, we are always wanting something more every day that we live.  Of course it is natural as humans to want more but let us take a few minutes to mediate fore a few minutes each day what we could write down on a blank page.  Do we really want more or can we embellish what we have and make it look better?
      It is too common to have blank spaces in our daily journals.  My question to you is do we really take time to make our stories more interesting to those who see us on a regular basis? Do we have a blank page just sitting there staring at us?  Blank pages are my friends.  I love to write little stories in order to help people feel better about themselves but sometimes that is not possible.  However it is up to us alone, to make sure all the pages in our book of life are embellished and pretty instead of filled with empty pages of boredom.  So take thought in what I am saying here, let us be willing to share our journey to encourage others. #22q  #beblessed

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 !!
