Spring Cleaning

Spring Cleaning!
Clean House and Clean Heart!

   Your Body is a Temple of the Holy Spirit, the same as your Home is where you live. I have been cleaning out stuff in my Home that I do not want and do not need. I have also been getting in the little cracks and cleaning out the dust bunnies as well. Cleaning in the small places reminds me of how sin likes to hide in our minds and hearts.
   When I clean, it helps me to reflect on how God cleans our hearts and minds.  It allows me to think on the good things and remember that no matter how dirty we get, God will always be there for His children.  I sweep up the dust bunnies and clean  the blinds, you know those little tight, hard to get places that we always seem to let go.
   Let us remember to always keep our minds and hearts clean out as well, sometimes we also tend to let those go.It is easy to get depressed" and stuck in a rut if we let ourselves, but thereis always a light at the End of the Tunnel.  God always provides an answer, a Rainbow after the rain, or an Escape" for when we have to heavy of a burden.  The key here is to let Him take the stress away, to let Him shine the light in the dark pathway, to let Him clean us up when we are dirty. God will help us, it might not be right when we <---- want Him to step in, but He will always provide a way.

                                       

Key verse:   " For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror, then we shall see face to face; now I know in part, but then shall I know, even as I am known.  1 Corinthians 13:12

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 !!
