Thoughtful Thursday

Is it just me or does Thursday always seem to be one of those days that creep up on you unaware?  I usually get most of my chores done by Thursday but then again I work on them a little each day so I won't have so much to do on the weekends.  You might not believe me but it really helps to have a certain cleaning schedule.  I know that is preached a lot , but it has helped me tremendously.  This morning, as I fried some steak for lunch, I flipped through a SunBasket recipe book. I love that subscription!

I think that's one of the best thing we have ever ordered.  They send you the right amount of everything you need.  As I glanced through the book, I thought about how God's Word is indeed a recipe book for our daily lives.  How can anyone go without picking up the Bible?  After watching the beautiful Eclipse, how can anyone be atheist?  I even heard some of them say, they wished they did believe in God.  I thought, well, why don't you?

As I did all this, my cat was laying there so beautifully watching me. lol! That was a reminder of how others watch us as we live our Christians lives.  We ought to be an example to others.  We never know who is watching us.  We never know who we might be a light to, or who we might hinder. Hopefully and prayerfully, I would never hinder anyone.  It's just amazing to me how God is in everything we do.   I hope this has encouraged you to be a little more observant today, in your walk with God. It's hard sometimes, but we must keep fighting every day.  Someone is watching.
       Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
                                                              1 Thessalonians 5:11

Prayer---  Lord, help me to use your Word for a roadmap on a daily basis.  That way I understand more about your plan.  In Jesus Name, Amen.

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 !!
