Eclesiastes 7: 13-16

Hope you have had a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!

13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked? 14 In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of adversity consider: God also hath set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him. 15 All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is a just man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his wickedness. 16 Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself ?

There is alot of wisdom in this particular passage. God warns us not to be mighty in our own eyes because this is vanity. in verse 13, it says , " Who can make that straight?" Have you given that much thought in considering something new? A new goal or new plan? Did you ever ask God what He thought? After all, He knows the outcome. I take time to pray every morning. Well, I'll just say, I can tell a difference in the outcome when I do pray about the day.

I try to go to sleep in a good mood and I try to wake up in a good mood. That makes a difference in your health. 14. says , " in the day of prosperity be joyful." God wants us to rejoice over what we have. He knows we have emotions and He wants us to be happy. He gives us what we need, but also wants us to ask for what we want.

16. On the flip side, God says in 16, that we should be proud of our works but not too boastful because we will only destroy our own selves. If you go around thinking you are better, than that will destroy the good name that you have made for yourself. So consider that much when you go through your day.

God wants us to achieve our goals, but try to think of others as we reach them. Nobody likes a know it all." but nobody likes a negative Nancy either. So be respectful and consider the two. This will help you in your daily life.

Pray with us-- Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for being a Friend when no one else seem to care. You have always been there and always will be there. You have given me the strength I have needed to fight through my health problems and will continue to do so, If I only ask. Thank you for friends and family and Thank You for helping me be able to appreciate the simple things in life. In Jesus Name, Amen.

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

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...
