New Years Resolution

I have been trying so hard this year to keep a journal of everything I do.  It is very easy to get off track and let the Devil convince us to focus on negative thoughts.  I want to keep my blog update on a daily basis but so far it has only been a weekly thing.  I want to be steady with my blog entries and keep my readers interested in what I have to say.  I want to focus on healthy eating, spiritually and physically.  I want to focus on exercising more and  also on meditating to keep our minds clear of any selfish thought that might slip through unexpectedly.  I think those are very reasonable goals.  I want to focus on being financially fit as well because the Bible says to do so.
   God wants to be there for us, but He also expects us to take care of ourselves first and foremost.  Whatever we can not do, He said He would meet us in the middle.  I want to be an encouragement to others that might need a little stepping stone along the way.  I do not stay upbeat all the time, no one does, but if I can be a little light, that I want to be a help to someone.  I know times are difficult and it is easy to get in a depressed state of mind, but God wants us to encourage each other along the way.
   We need to be a help to our Christian brothers and sisters.  It is easy to point a finger towards someone else when we are on the mountain, but instead, why don't we help lift each others spirits.  It is more easy to push someone further in the mud, but let us be a servant to those in need.  As the old hymn says, " I want my life to be a light shinning out through the night. " I do not want to stay in a slum and depressed cause something did not go my way.  I have a health condition but I am not going to let it have me.  That is my testimony to others.  Just because we might have life a little harder than others does not mean God hates us.  It might mean He is saving us from something worse. I hope you set goals and reach them.  Hope you have an awesome #New Year.

Isaiah 43:18-19New International Version (NIV)
18 “Forget the former things;
    do not dwell on the past.
19 See, I am doing a new thing!
    Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?
I am making a way in the wilderness
    and streams in the wasteland.

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 !!

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...

Fantastic Friday

1.Psalm 16:11 11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy ; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. 2.Psalm 119:35 Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight . 3.Proverbs 4:26 Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. 4. Psalm 18:36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip. Psalm 119:5 O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Ah! It's here! The weekend? What have we done this week that would glorify God? What have we not done to shine our lights? What could we do more of next week to bless another person? Have you asked God to show you someone to give a Blessing to? Do you watch people or do we have our mind always on ourselves? It's important that we realize the difference between selfishness and being happy. Being angry does not help our situation. If you want to torment the Devil, we need to praise God for every situation. S...
