Fantastic Friday

This week has been mostly on standing through trials alone. We aren't really alone...God has always been here and He always will. His Spirit goes with us each and every day. When you feel like you don't have a friend in the world to talk to, take it to Jesus. He will Listen. God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins. Not only did He send us His Son, His only begotten" Son....whom He loved very much. That alone should give us strength to keep going. When worldly friends fail, when church friends seem to be nowhere around, when family fails...Jesus is your friend. He wants to keep you safe and will always be there. Standing on His Word is what gives us our Identity in Christ, making decisions when it seems like we are the only one doing right. When friends tell us we are too uptight and need to be more worldy in order to fit in....Take it to Jesus. God knows what we can handle.

I found this poem that kind of sums up this week's topic: A Balanced Life

My life has been balanced with pleasures and trials, I've had many teardrops and thousands of smiles.

I've soared to the moon and I've plunged to the sand, My life has been balanced by God's loving hand.

I've had many friendships I've had a few foes, In the life of a Christian that's the way that it goes.

Should I just accept only good from God's hands? No, I must endure whatever He plans.

But I can be sure and you can be, too, All things work for best as God deals with you.

Lord, help me to remember, no matter what happens, that You are working everything for my good. In Jesus' Sweet Name, Amen.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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 !!
