Terrific Tuesday

I know prayer can be a peculiar thing.  Prayer doesn't have to be all that difficult.  God like to hear from us whether it's just a whisper or an hour long conversation.  Being kind of a non-verbal child, I understand how it is when trying to build a conversation.  I mean you couldn't tell, now, cause I tend to talk non-stop.  It's like somebody handed me the relay stick and my mouth just keeps going.  But I'm proud I can talk somewhat normal now.  I went 18 years without ever knowing I even had a cleft palate. I knew something was wrong, but we didn't ever know what.
   Upon saying that, God likes to hear from us.  He doesn't need you to write out some long, drawn out prayer card. Some of those are nice but that's not the point here.  God can hear our thoughts, He understands our tears, and He knows how we feel.  We don't have to ask for something every time.  Just saying thank you Lord for my Blessings  is good enough sometimes.  He doesn't like to be overlooked.
  Have you ever been in a conversation and everyone is talking over you like you aren't even sitting there?  How did that feel? I know how I feel when people treat me like I don't understand what is going on.  God feels that same way.  He doesn't want to be left out of your life.  He loves us.  He wants to be included in everything we do.  IF we allow Him, it is a comfort to know He really IS there.  It's a Comfort to know He's there when no one is around to listen to our daily problems.  He loves to hear stuff like that.  Makin time for Him every day has been one of the best things I have ever done.  My husband will even sit and read the Bible with me some days.  God loves when couples pray and read His Word together.
    My point here,  Quiet Time with God doesn't have to be all that extravagant.  It's good to have a fancy, decked out, secret room to pray in, but that's not what it's about either.  It's about having a quiet time, where you go to a special corner by yourself and pray, meditate, and seek out God's plan for you.  It makes everything go so much smoother when you put Him first. It makes finding your purpose and Identity so much plainer.  He will answer you, if we will learn to take time and listen.

  Song--  Whisper a Prayer in the Evening, Whisper a Prayer a Noooon  Whisper a Prayer in the Morning, to keep your heart in tune.

 Prayer-- Lord help me set a side a quiet time each day.  My body needs to rest and reflect on Your Plan.  Your Goals are more important than mine and I know you have a Purpose especially for me.

                   The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love,
          O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Psalm 138:8

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 !!
