                          Out on the Sea



    What helps me to keep motivated is reading biographies of people who have overcome their fears.  One story that showed up on my homepage was a story about a young girl who was orphaned at sea.

   Her family had planned on going on this vacation for quite some time.  They saved enough money and were planning on making sea life long term.  However,  there were some others on the boat as well,  Terri Jo Duperrault's family was murdered while on their vacation and Terri was able to escape.
  
   Terri was able to jump out of the boat and was able to escape the terrible tragedy.  By faith,  Terri was able to survive four days on the water without food or drink.  Another ship passed by and the captain was able to rescue her and bring Terri to safety.   Now Terri is able to work on the water herself and enjoy her job even after the awful tragedy that happened some 50 years ago.

  I can't help to think that's just how God is with us.  He will always be there to help us to safety as long as we do our little part.  No matter how small or big the trial I may face in life, I hope I can always be a blessing to someone else.   

   Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? for the sea wrought, and was tempestuous.   Jonah 1:11 KJV

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 !!

Keeping a Positive Outlook

 There is nothing more depressing than a person who is always negative. It seems so hard to contain a positive outlook on life. Writing is a way for me to relax and reflect on Gods many mercies and wonderful things that He has in store for my future. I try to stay away from Negative Nancy" as they say and surround myself with people who have the same interests as I do.   If at all possible, I would like to encourage others along the way as well. Everyone has their hurdles to jump, no matter how tall they might seem.  Until you have walked in someone else's shoes, do not judge them.    Someone else's battles may seem small to someone from a far distance when in reality the certain difficulty might be a lot strenuous than it seems. That person just may know how to smile through their tears better than just rolling in them all day long.  I know some people that do not look handicap at all because the handicap is not visible to the naked eye but they need...
