Thoughtful Thursday

I've pondered about writing this or not. However, since we are discussing prayer and finding your own Identity in Christ,  I thought it might help encourage someone to pray even over the smallest things.  My husband is a truck driver and keeps odd hours.  I won't say his schedule on here because there are too many creepy people around. I do mean creepy.  Anyway, I have been having some car trouble lately.  For the past few months my vehicle wouldn't pick up speed.
     I took it to two places that I go regular and like my husband, or any man, really, they said, it was, " all in my head."  So I didn't drive it for a while and then I couldn't handle not going shopping so I decided to get out of the house one day, my car started making funny noises.  After I got my chores in town done that day, I scooted" my vehicle on home.  I got almost home and it started making weirder noises.  I thought well, maybe I should take it to the shop again.  I didn't think I was going to make it down the little hill.  I debated on whether to take it on back home.  I prayed and said Lord, help me make it down there.  (It's not that far).  Maybe they can find out what's wrong while it's making these noises.
     The first part of my prayer was answered before I even got to the shop.  One of the neighbors pulled up beside me on the highway and waved.  He said he couldn't tell anything was wrong.  I asked him if he could follow me down there.  He said yeah, he would."  He will never know that he was an answer to a prayer.  I had prayed earlier that God would help me make it down there.  He  sent my neighbor.  I got down to the shop and thanked him.  I never told him about the conversation I had with God earlier.  He will never know.  He doesn't attend church or read my blog.
   The mechanic said he couldn't get my car in till the next morning.  I said ok, "l'll take that appointment."  I scooted my car on back home and the noises started again.  I stopped at the new shop and they said ,' I was crazy. lol, as men do when women are discussing automobiles.  He said there wasn't a thing wrong.  I said,  " drive my vehicle again."  There is something wrong.  The second time,  he said, ma'am'  we can't let you drive home."( lol...)  It's not safe.  So I said well, check it out and see what's wrong.   Anyway, my left caliper had went kapoooy. so I sat there for about 2 hours and let them fix it.  
      The moral of the story is this,  only you know when you need to go to the altar.  Only you know when you need to join a church. Only you know when God is leading you to be a teacher, preacher, or leader.  Only you can ask God for forgiveness.  Everyone else can aid, but they don't know, they don't hear that small whisper that God meant only for you.  So don't depend on anyone else, learn to pray and trust God.  Follow your heart.  Follow your own instincts.

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

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 !!  

Terrific Thursday

Titus 3 (KJV) 3 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work, 2 To speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men. 3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. 4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Sometimes I wonder if people even read my blog posts. Then other times I think, what does it matter? This is something God wants me to do so it should not matter. We shouldn't strive to please people. My husband and I went out to eat yesterday and I heard the song that goes something like this," I learned my lesson well. You can't please ever...
