Meaning of Blog TItle

I have challenged myself to write a blog post every day this month. I.t will be a different task for me, but one that obviously must be done, if I wish to continue writing online.  The title of my blog is "Not Writing For Flowers." I chose that name because I do not serve the Lord for my own glory. I only want to be a help when there is a door for me to open.  It has been said, if one does things in order to receive a blessing in return, then the deed would be for ones own glory.  The saying kind of reminds me of the Scribe and Pharisee parable in the Bible.
   It is up to us, as Christians, to inspire other people, not to make ourselves shine.  Helping someone else should be our purpose in life, and I want to keep blog up to date and try to write something inspirational every day, or at least as often as I can write. You see, my health condition is a rare syndrome called, "22q." It has been something I have had to deal with on my own because no one knew how to help me. All the signs were there, but no one actually knew what the condition was.
   Instead of being depressed and staying in my own little bubble, I want to try to reach out and be and encouragement to others, not just with 22q, but with any health condition.  It is difficult, but it can be done. Don't ever give in to another person's point of view.  Don't ever let anyone let the opinion keep you from cracking another smile, or sharing another laugh because they said you were not normal.  Truth is, no one is what you would call, "normal." God made everyone special and each one of us has a "special' role that He had planned out before we were even born.  There is someone who needs to watch your life as you progress and grow.  So don't give, let your own light shine for everyone to see. 
   That is the purpose of my blog, to `encourage' another lady to keep moving on for the Lord.I will be sharing what little talent I have in arts and crafts in this blog. I also like to study foreign language, especially Biblical languages.  I also love geneaology, history, and try to be as fit and healthy as possible. So, I hope this has helped explain what this is all about and I really hope that I will be able to inspire YOU to be hopeful as well.

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 !!
