Fantastic Friday

This week has been mostly on standing through trials alone. We aren't really alone...God has always been here and He always will. His Spirit goes with us each and every day. When you feel like you don't have a friend in the world to talk to, take it to Jesus. He will Listen. God loves us so much that He sent His only Son to die for our sins. Not only did He send us His Son, His only begotten" Son....whom He loved very much. That alone should give us strength to keep going. When worldly friends fail, when church friends seem to be nowhere around, when family fails...Jesus is your friend. He wants to keep you safe and will always be there. Standing on His Word is what gives us our Identity in Christ, making decisions when it seems like we are the only one doing right. When friends tell us we are too uptight and need to be more worldy in order to fit in....Take it to Jesus. God knows what we can handle.

I found this poem that kind of sums up this week's topic: A Balanced Life

My life has been balanced with pleasures and trials, I've had many teardrops and thousands of smiles.

I've soared to the moon and I've plunged to the sand, My life has been balanced by God's loving hand.

I've had many friendships I've had a few foes, In the life of a Christian that's the way that it goes.

Should I just accept only good from God's hands? No, I must endure whatever He plans.

But I can be sure and you can be, too, All things work for best as God deals with you.

Lord, help me to remember, no matter what happens, that You are working everything for my good. In Jesus' Sweet Name, Amen.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

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 !!
