Wonderful Wednesday

  Wednesdays have to be my most favorite day of the week.  Wednesdays allow my mind to step back and look what I have accomplished and what still needs to be finished.  Wednesdays are a resting point for me.  It allows me to catch my breath.  In the mornings,  I like to wake up a little earlier in order to just sit there and find my own breath.  In doing so,  I can better concentrate on the other chores at hand.  Wednesday is also our trash" day and as I  took our trash down to the road, it reminded me I need to just forget the negative and really concentrate on the things I can do.  I need to put all my gifts in one place and that way I will have more strength to praise God.
      As most of you know by now, we have two rather huge cats that live with us.  Oftentimes, they will bring us gifts" Luckily, these gifts are only toys and not dead animals, but this also reminded me that we, as Christians should bring God gifts. I can Imagine that  It makes Him smile when He looks down on us. Often my husband and I facetiously  joke, well, "God must laugh' when He looks down at us.  In reality,  it must make Him proud when He sees His Creation praising Him.  I know how I feel when my kitties bring me " gifts."  and I am just their caretaker.  In all, though, even if our biggest effort, is the biggest' flop" you ever saw,  God will most certainly be honored.  So take time, to think about what you are doing.  Take time to catch your breath so you will have the strength to praise God.


    “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”  1 Thesslonians 5:16-18

  Prayer-- Lord, help me make proper use my gifts to the best of my ability.  Help me not to be discouraged and compare myself to others.  You are the reason I sing, You are the reason, I can do anything at all.
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 !!
