Sometimes You Just Need a Cup of Coffee

         Some things in life you just can not change.  There are people that are going to say things about you that are very rude and hurtful. There is nothing that we can do to change those type of people, we just have to sip on a cup of coffee and read our Bible. To me sitting down with a cup of coffee and reading my Bible is the only com fort that my mind can find.  Not to get technical, but the Book of Psalm are some of my favorite poems ever written.
     You may disagree, but Job really knew what it was like to loose everything.  He was alone when he needed his friends the most.  No one was to be found when trouble was involved and all the money was gone.  If we are not on the top of the ladder or have the most cars people tend to look down on us more than someone who has toys to share.
    In my opinion it is sad, when people can not look past a disability for just a minute or two.  God will never put anyone higher than the other.  He sees everyone the same and is no judger of persons.  I have to remind myself of that by reading about Job and how he had to go through depression alone.  All he really wanted was a friend with some soothing words.  It is a shame that we can not trust anyone with our troubles anymore. We must be really careful about who we tell secrets to because not everyone really cares.
     That is a lesson that I have learned so many times in the past. Sometimes it is better to brew a cup of your favorite coffee and read some poetry or a good Inspirational book of your choice.  That is one of the best things that has ever helped me.  I like to read outside with my dog or at the park or put on some pictures of nature as a background to add to the relaxation.
     Again, there is no better way to relax than to read about what God has done for us and reflect on good and uplifting things.  God does not want us to be sad but sometimes we are the only ones who can lift ourselves out of the mud.  God gives us trials once in a while just to see how much we really want to  worship Him, but we must do our part on a daily basis.  So go grab a cup of coffee, a good inspirational book and find yourself living closer to Him everyday. #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 !!
