Making the Best of Depression

   When there is a lot of snow on the ground, it is so easy for the Devil to move in and speak the word " Depression" in your ear.  Being depressed is no fun and there are definitely  so many excuses that you can use in a winter storm.  The Devil will really use your mind as a playground so keep busy.  Clean your house, read a book, learn to crotchet.
     Keep your mind moving as best you can if you do not wish to be depressed.  It is very easy to think negatively when you are stuck in the house all day long.  Whether you are by yourself or have a bigger family and going  stir crazy, don't let the Devil have even an inch of your mind. Believe me, He will do His best to put silly thoughts in your mind to get you all out of shape.
     Now would be a good time to start some kind of a journal. Journaling is a good way to jot down your positive thoughts. When one keeps a journal, you can look back on a droopy day and remember your most favorite times in life. It's a win, win to keep a journal. I am going to start my own faith journal so when I am depressed I can remind myself of all the good things.
   Last but not least, pick up a new hobby. Crafts are a good and safe way to beat boredom.  I have started crocheting as a personal hobby. I do not do it every day, but it is something that I can do by myself  and give the end projects to friends and family as gifts.  They love home made Christmas presents!
    So, during this storm, be creative! Don't let the Devil have even an inch to move in your smart and intelligent mind. He will try and use every technique He has to get you to become one of His. Brew a cup of coffee, if that is your thing, and start the day out positive.  It will most likely end up that way as well. Don't give room for the negative thoughts.   There is always something you can do to keep busy. #beblessed

Terrific Tuesday

2 Peter 1King James Version (KJV) 1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ: 2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, 3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall n...

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

 There were a few things that were motivational to me today.  First, finding out that my dog really does love me.  He has been barking exvessively for the past two weeks.  He was trying to tell me that there was a sick dog in the neighborhood and that I should be ware.  Gotta love your animals, right?     What else was motivational?  Getting a little eight week old hyper active kitty to actually sit on my lap for an hour and a half.  I loved today!  I was in such  a good mood and nothing got in my way.  They say animals know when their masters do not feel well.  Today is a testimony to that thought.  I Taught My Cat To Clean My Room I taught my cat to clean my room, to use a bucket, brush and broom, to dust my clock and picture frames, and pick up all my toys and games. He puts my pants and shirts away, and makes my bed, and I would say it seems to me it's only fair he puts away my underwear....
