Motivational Monday

Since we have been talking about Finding your Identity in Christ, I think of emotions as well and how being satisfied with your lot in life helps you achieve goals. How one feels greatly depends on their surroundings. It really does! This morning I woke up with the word aroma on my mind.  It reminded me how different smells make you feel.  Some smells make you happy, some smells make you sad, some smells make even flat out make you angry.  That's one reason my Keurig is sitting beside my writing chair. The coffee smells help me wake up because it gives me something to look forward to every morning.  If I put the littler box beside my writing chair, it probably wouldn't motivate me very well.  That's the way it is with our Heavenly Father.  Finding our Identity in Christ, will help us determine how to serve God better.  God really doesn't need us because He is the Almighty God, but when we accomplish our goals and give him honor it's like a sweet savor in his nostrils.  I don't want to be a broken record, but God delights in His children and wants us to have things.  He wants us to be happy so let's be a sweet smelling savor for Him and help bring others into the Kingdom as part of our goals and accomplishments.  #happyMonday#beblessed


Prayer-- Lord help me be a sweet savor in your nostrils.  Help me find my own Identity so I can help add to Your Kingdom cause even the smallest one is great in Your eyes.


                 For to God we are the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved
                                   and among those who are perishing. 2 Corinthians 2:15

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...

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....

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 !!
