If God Be For Us

31 What then shall we say to this? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, will he not also give us all things with him? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies; 34 who is to condemn? Is it Christ Jesus, who died, yes, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed intercedes for us?[e] 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written,

“For thy sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am sure that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:31-35

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 !!
