Motivational Monday




                          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

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...

Terrific Tuesday

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. Age doesn't matter here, but, according to Nature, we each get older every day, so learning to set priorites when we are young will make a difference on ...
