Motivational Monday

This plant reminded me of a saying. It goes something" like this.... don't keep watering a dead plant...." I love flowers and I love plants. In this analogy though, it's referring to relationships. Watering old friendships or keep thinking what they're doing or where they are. Is it relevant to the current situation? Is it something that can keep you moving forward or does it keep one foot in the grave? I thought that was a good motivational point. In order to form our own Identity" in Christ, we need to quit focusing on people who will never show up in our lives again. That maybe hard to realize but we should not get stuck thinking about people who will never cross our pathway again. I' not speaking about people who have passed, I'm only talking about friendships and relationships. People we may have gone to school with, people who we may have been dating at one time, etc. WE must encourage ourselves to keep moving forward. Those people aren't coming back so let's quit watering dead plants and keep our eyes toward Jesus.

Ezekiel 37 (KJV) The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest. ...

Review Time!

I love getting products like these in exchange for an honest review!!! I just got a new iphone6s and these cords work perfectly.  As you see, I received three lightning cables in the mail to charge my iPhone 6s. I am going to leave one in my car and one near my wall charger. I am going to give the other cable to my mom as she has an iPhone 6 Plus.  These cables are great and worth the money because there are not just one but three cords included in the package. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U0Q0IP6

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

Eclesiastes 7: 13-16 Hope you have had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!! 13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ? There is alot of wisdom in this particular passage. God warns us not to be mighty in our own eyes because this is vanity. in verse 13, it says , " Who can make that straight?" Have you given that much thought in considering something new? A new goal or new plan? Did you ever ask God what He thought? After all, He knows the outcome. I take time to pray every mor...
