Friday--Free Your Mind






   It is finally Friday again.  The Weekend is the time that people tend to free their minds of clutter.  It is a time for  family and relaxation.  Everyone needs to clear their minds every their minds  once in a while.  Everyone needs their eight hours of sleep, a time just for themselves.  A time to escape from their day to day routines.  The Bible says in Genesis that even God rested on the seventh day.  It is true that  our bodies need rest and a time by ourselves. We often times find things to worry about if we do not take a " time out" one in a while.
     God knew that before we existed and made provisions so we need to take advantage of it. However, that does not mean to push our oxens in the ditch. Sometimes we make excuses not to be a servant.  Granted it is difficult at times, but then again, anything we do takes some effort on our part.  God knew that as well. He knew that there would be things that we could not accomplish on our own and that is why He created prayer. Communication is the key word to most of our problems. If  we just ask God for advice the answer will be provided.  It might not be how we want the question answered, but He will never leave us alone.
    Then, on the other hand, sometimes it is simply up to us to put " legs" on those prayers and move toward the goal in which we were concerned.  Sometimes God expects us to be listening and observant of the situation before He takes control.  Sometimes it is just as simple as asking someone, a person, for help.  It might not be what we want to do, but if that is what God provided then that is our answer.  I think sometimes people complicate prayer making it into something bigger than it is.
   God said  He would always be there but He made it so that we would have to ask Him.  I am always amazed when God answers a prayer exactly when I pray.  However there are other times that God says wait, not right now.  He knows His plans for us and that is what we have to realize before we even start our daily routines.  Prayer and time alone with God is an escape for me.  I need an escape time, a time to  reflect on the positive aspects of life.
    No one needs to spend their life in a constant state of fear and worry.  It will eventually wear your body down.  Worry warts have no fun in life but then again, it is good to worry sometimes.  To live a happy life, one must put their own worries on a schedule because there is a time for every season.  We are human and there are things that bother us from day to day. We need to take time to reflect on the good things of life, get your eight hours of sleep, your peaceful time alone to rest.  In saying that, remember, that our bodies are  temple for the Holy Spirit so we need to take care of ourselves in the best way possible.     #sleep#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 !!
