Thursday--Clean Up Day--

Thursday will be my "Clean Up Day"

  ....course, every day should be a clean up day.  There is not one person who can say they never made a mistake.  There is not one person that has done something that they could wipe away. God understands that we are going to need forgiveness once in a while.  I do not mean to keep reiterating on that subject but God is one of love and forgiveness and that is sometimes forgotten.  We are all human and He realized that from the very moment He created the world.  
      However, it is easy to keep the past in front of us and to always remember the bad times in our lives.  God did not intend for us to worry all the time.  He wants us to be happy and He wants us to be successful.  Sometimes that theory gets reversed.  People, and I am included in that phrase, want to blame God for their problems and horrible accidents but that is not the way it was meant to be.  
       There is always room for improvement and we all could use a little.  It really upsets me when someone is persistent to influence you towards their beliefs.  I do not like for someone to tell me I can not believe in Christianity.  I do not wish to tell someone else they have to believe in God.  It seems to me thought that people want to push Christians further and further away from the "lime light." That should not be because you can not favor one belief over the other.Remember that this is America.
      It does not bother me that others wish have freedom to express their beliefs. It bothers me that Christians are not allowed to express theirs. But wait, it seemed like no one ever noticed until we became the minority in religion and realized that we no longer we on the top. Remember though, this is America.
    I have to rant today, after all it is my " clean up" day and I want to wipe away the sad and unhappy memories so I can move forward and toward my new goals.  I will not let anyone stop me from doing what God put me on Earth to do. I may have a syndrome but that is not going to stop me from living successfully.    If it is just one person that I am a light to, I want to be a light to that one person. I want to be a light so that others can see that anything is possible if God is author of it.  There is some talent that we can use to lead them to the Lord but we must be a willing vessel.  After all, this is America.

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 !!
