Always Another Pot To Be Washed

   It has been so long since I have posted anything on blogger.  I have not found any good challenges and have been really busy with some other new chores.  Writing is something I love doing and do not want to write anything unless I know that it is  something that might be worth reading.  I love to write and do not want to make it something I feel like I have to do, only something as a hobby.  I have always enjoyed writing and will always keep posting.  There is one thing that I found that keeps sticking in my head and it is the post that is pasted above.  It says the following words, "That kill me moment when you think you're done with the dishes and you turn around and see those pots on the stove."
     Well, it is kind of like that spiritually as well. God's work is never done.  There is always something that we can be doing for Him.  It may not be a big, in the spotlight, kinda job, but there is always some kind of little task that might be a blessing to someone else in a big kind of way.  That may no be the proper phrasing of a sentence, but I think you get what I am trying to say.  I also heard a message on the radio one day.  The preacher was talking about the same topic.  He was saying how much a simple hello could be all another person needs.
      We never know by the look on someone's face what they are going through as a whole.  They may never say it verbally either.  Sometimes all a person might need is a simple pat on the back, or a firm hand shake to able to confirm everything is alright.  Everyone handles situations differently.  You never know what a blessing something as simple as the word, " hi" can be.  If you feel God is simply asking you to just smile at a person, then go ahead, smile!  It may be what they needed to get them through the day.
         There is nothing too simple a task.  It may seem silly or far fetched to us, but if God is telling you to do it, do it. God can use any situation to be a blessing to someone in need.  I know sometimes just the simple question, " How have you been today?" is all I need to help me feel better on a bad day.  It does not matter what task we have there is always something else that we could be doing, something else that we could clean up, or something else we could do to better ourselves.
     Whatever the case may be, we must not sit down and quit.  God has a special plan for each of His children.  We must not compare, and we must not race each other to get to the goal.  Of course, we must reach our goals, but we all have different paces and we all have different plans.  God knows what each of those plans are because He is the One that formed us.  He knows just exactly how to get us moving towards that goal as well.  He knows us better that we know ourselves, I can not stress that fact enough.  I love the special way that He forms each one of us into our own molds.  I never want to stop working for Him and I never want to just sit down and quit.  Hope this was a blessing and encouragement to you as well because there is always another pot that can be washed, we just need to find the faith to keep organized and keep going no matter how fast the pace.

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 !!
