Psalm 23 is a Picture of Peace

Psalm 23

  for Monday's poetry collection

  1.  The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.  

2.He maketh me lie down in green pastures for His name's sake.  He leadeth me beside still waters.

 3. He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.

  4.  Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of Death I will fear no evil; for thou art with me. Thy rod and Thy staff the comfort me.

   5.  Thou preparest a table before me in the presences of mine enemies; thou anoinest my head with oil, my cup runneth over.

   6.  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 The sections highlighted help me get through the not so good times. This Scripture always paints a picture of peace. It reminds me that it will be worth it all one day, helps a person have hope.  

  However, God is not the author of confusion, He is our helper so we must keep our focus on Him and picture those cool, still waters in our minds every day that we live.   

  Jesus through much more so that He could make a way.  As I have said many times before it is so easy to blame God for our problems and situations.  
   This passage is one that was written to help us remember that God will be there for us because He did create us in His own image.  We need to remember that the battle is already won, it is just those every day burdens that we need to give to the Lord.

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 !!
