Thoughtful Thursday



 Five Verses on Pleasing People

1.   When a mans ways please the Lord,
      he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.
     Proverbs 16:7

2.    For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
       John 12:43

3.    For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men?
       I should not be the servant of Christ.  Galatians 1:10

4.    And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
        Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the inheritance :  for ye serve
        The Lord Christ.     Colossians 3:23-24

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

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 !!

Motivational Monday

Think of ten things that you don't believe you can accomplish. 1. Everyone else is achieving their goals right now.... 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Now, re script them and say how you can accomplish them. 1. Success doesn't come over night. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. You don't have to tell me.....I'm not going to tell you mine./ I have them though.....I did write one example. The thing is, everyone has goals that they would like to accomplish in life, but we won't be able to get to all of them. Nobody will. God still loves us just the same. He knows there will be things in life that we would enjoy doing, but He also knows that we won't be able to accomplish all which is why He gave us the verse Matthew 6:33 which reads as following, " Seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you." I have had this verse memorized since high school. It's one of those verses that real
