History Reapeats Itself--

  It has been said many times over and over again that "history repeats itself." It gets old reminding myself that it is okay to make mistakes  It really is okay to make mistakes but it is very important that we learn from our mistakes.  It is true that history does repeat itself but we do not have to purposely keep repeating those same mistakes.  Let us break down the thoughts into little pieces for a minute and you will see what I mean.  When we make mistakes other people see the way we handle them.  We do not need to get upset or mad when we make mistakes because everyone has done something wrong in their lives.
     God understands that we are human as well as He understood Adam and Eve were human. God knew that Adam and Even had fallen short but He wanted them to be the ones to confess.  That is what He wants us to do, be able to confess our faults and take responsibility for our own actions.  No one is exempt from temptation and no one is strong enough to fight the Devil by ourselves. We must learn to take baby steps when achieving our goals.  It is even more frustrating to reach those goals when you have a syndrome, but with God, nothing is impossible.
     I research every day about 22q and learn something new every time.  I am so thankful that my symptoms were very mild and now consider the syndrome as a gift.  When you learn later in life that you have a syndrome whether it be 22q or some other illness it can be difficult to comprehend why God would give something like this to one of His children.  However, I have to be careful that I do not blame God because He wants me to live and be successful.  I have to make small goals and try to accomplish each one I come to because I can do anything that anyone else can just with a different strategy.  I have to keep reminding myself of that so the Devil will not keep me in the past.  I do not wish to stay depressed all my life because I have to take things a little slower.  Everyone has their own way of doing things and I surely have mind.
    Each day I look around me there is someone that has a new problem added to their pile.  It saddens me that people are not able to look on the brighter side of life.  Everyone has their own hurdles to jump and some maybe a little higher than others but let us rejoice in time of trouble.   It is a struggle to not let the past haunt us but we must keep our thoughts together and organized if we do not want to keep repeating the same mistakes over and over again.
    Even if it is just one person, I pray that my life will be a blessing to someone, somewhere. I hope and pray God will give me the knowledge to learn from my mistakes.  I pray that I will be able to use them as stepping stones and not always keep a chain behind me. I know that these posts are not embellished with all the beautiful designs yest, but I hope that I can use my journal to uplift and encourage someone else to pick up the broken pieces and keep going.

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...

The Priority Principal Priority according to dictionary.com  means  the right to take precedence in obtaining certain supplies, services, facilities, etc., especially during a shortage. In life, we all must set priorities.  Not only must we set priorities, we must decide which priorities" will help us succeed.  Making lists help me tackle tasks but they also help me visualize my priorities. “A morning-glory at my window satisfies me more than the metaphysics of books.” ― Walt Whitman Establish a base point and determine what your strengths and weaknesses are.  Don't compare to others,  God gave us each a special" light to shine....we need to shine it. Once picking the top priorites,  keep your focus on those priorites and the others will fall in place.
