      Motivational Monday


What are things that you do to help meet your weekly goals?  Your daily goals?  Just one goal?  It is so easy for temptation to get in the way and entice us to loose site of our dreams.  Everyone of us has a certain purpose or reason for being on this Earth.  The devil's goal is to lead us into a deep depression and eventually into a deep, dark, hole.  If we notice, God even feeds the little birds.  

For the past couple of weeks, I have had a birds nest in one of my flower pots.  I noticed how they did not do a thing any of the days while living on our front porch.   It amazed me how the momma bird always made sure they had adequate enough food to get them through the time period in which they needed help.  Once the babies realized they could fly,  their mother was no longer needed because they could fend for themselves.  However, she did her job well.  She built a big enough nest for the four eggs that were delivered into the world.  She made sure that they were incubated well enough to hatch and she watched over them until they were ready to defend themselves.

Each living thing has a purpose on this Earth.  I needed a happy thought and God provided it through the family of birds.   Even the youngest little bird had a purpose.  In seeing this picture that God painted, it reminded me that we should always be patient in waiting on God's timing.   The little birds did not care about a thing except eating the little worms, hand delivered by momma, and, of course,  sleeping. Then one day,  they developed enough strength to fly away and take care of themselves.   

We have to always remember that God will be ready and waiting to catch us if we fall.  It is up to us to develop enough strength to fly off and do what God has commanded each of us to do.  It won't always be easy but if we take care and nourish ourselves and our dreams,  God will help us achieve them. Sometimes it is easier said than done, but God has a purpose for our goals, our dreams, and our failures.  Just Remember, He can and will be glorified in everything. Never give up on hope your hopes and dreams.

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 !!
