And The Smile Returns

-
I needed some rejuvenation today so I called a good friend.  What the conversation did was put the important aspects of my life to the forefront of my thoughts.  It reminded me that the reason I am feeling the way I do is because I lost sight of keeping God first.

When I wake up the first thing I NEED to think about is praising God for another day.  Thank him for my breath, for the birds chirping, for a roof over my head, thank him for loving us all and keeping family healthy.  I NEED to wake up feeling Blessed and eager to give blessings throughout the day rather than turning over and reading emails.  I am always immediately annoyed after checking emails so I’m not sure why I continue to do it.

The phone call also reminded me that I need to speak victory over my life. Speak life! There’s much power in the tongue so if you speak depression into your life then it will soon pop up.  If you feel your life is going nowhere then it probably is.  Thank God for the circumstances that has not yet arisen.  Thank you God for the beautiful happy family I will have. Thank you for showing me the purpose of my life and giving me the talents and the tools to accomplish it.  Thank you for the comfort and peace over my life so I can happily live out your word and show nonbelievers the gracefulness of living for God. 

After reading a few scriptures and feeling replenished and back on track I remembered one very important piece- My Holy Spirit walks with me daily.  This is very comforting and it always makes me smile at the thought. When I speak peace and protection, my guardian angel governs my every step.  I am reassured that I should no longer fear, doubt or worry about anything.  God can make the impossible possible. 

This helped get me back on track so I wanted to share it with you in hopes that you too will stand back up if you have fallen.

Ephesians 1:3-5

I Am Rich

I am rich in Faith. I am rich in Good Health. I am rich in Love. I am rich in Freedom. I am rich in Happiness. I am rich in Peace. I am rich in Family. I am rich in Friends. I am rich in heart. God has given us so many Blessings. Everywhere your eye can see there are Blessings for us to enjoy.   Such Blessings include the sun to warm our skin, the breeze to blow our hair, wonderful smells to enlighten our senses, stories to warms our hearts, music to move our feet, and food to speak to our souls.   Why on earth would anyone think of themselves as anything less than rich? The answer is simple.   There are many differentiations of the term rich.   For example, the definition of rich is to have a great deal of money or assets.   According to the Wall Street Journal, a net worth of $1.4 Million will put you in the top 5% of Americans.   Yet, the wealthy today view this figure as chump change.   This just goes to show you we all view be...

To Eat Healthy or To Save Money?

Why is everything so difficult these days? We all need to be more health conscious, but all our quick fix choices are unhealthy substitutes. The other day I found myself in traffic and hungrier than ever. Home-girl is on a budget so it wasn’t like I could stroll over to Jason’s Deli for a hearty snack. My options were… well, you know what my options were because this is the same thing you face daily. This dilemma down right sucks! I started to get the best of myself when my thought process centered around how these unhealthy, cheap, food stops were conveniently placed on every corner for a reason. Why isn’t there a drive through subway? Why can’t our healthy options be cheaper? We all know the troubling weight concerns our country already faces, so why are we doing something more about it? I want the same amount of healthy food selections as I do the unhealthy ones and since I’m on my high horse I don’t want the healthy food places to break my pockets like they do now. T...

I Vow to Stop Drinking and Driving!!!

I recently made a pact with myself to stop drinking and driving. I am the stupid idiot who feels she is perfectly fine at 3am to drive herself home. I made sure to title this blog as such because I want people to know how dumb, stupid, insane, ruthless and horrible I have been. I didn’t want to say, "I Don’t Drink and Drive or I Will Never Drink and Drive". No, I want you to know the cold hard truth because I have a feeling you may or may not be in my same boat. Am I right? WE COLLECTIVELY NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS TODAY!!!!! Here’s my issue, I’m a smart girl and I know drinking and getting behind the wheel is a gamble. The only problem is when I’ve been drinking I no longer remain this smart, sensible girl. The voice in my head actually speaks the opposite of reality. I usually feel I’m a little tipsy but well enough to drive my drunk butt home, which is completely false. My realization came the other night when I was videotaping a friend proposing to his girlfriend...
