Fantastic Friday

  I have always studied people's attitude and how they adapted to life.  As I get older, I also notice how easy it is for some people to feed off others emotions.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with being empathic.  We need more Christians to be loving.  However, Setting Up Walls and setting up boundaries are two different things.
     As Christians,  " Christ Followers,"  or people in general....we need to learn what is toxic to us.  We need to learn how to be loving without actually becoming like that person.  Does that make sense?  We need to learn how to control our emotions.  We need to Identify our own emotions before we can help someone else.  If we end up in the same emotional downslide that the other person is, we are not going to be very much help.
     It is so very easy to play off other people's emotions.  I catch myself doing it.  After I realize it though,  I group everything back to home base.  People actually watch us so we need to be careful how we treat each other.  We need to be careful how we treat God's church, last but not least, we need to be careful how we treat ourselves.


       A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.
                                                                 Proverbs 15: 13

 Prayer--  Lord, help me to control my emotions.  Help me to treat others the way You would have me treat them.  Help me to shine my light as far as It can go.  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

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
