My new motto



I will make a decision to look at things from all angles.  When I am upset I will take a break and leave the feeling and emotion on the shelf.  I will plan my day but be flexible that life will happen and I need to roll with it.   I will look at challenges as opportunties to benefit my current and future self and embrace the ability to leave stuff in God's hands.

Proverbs 14:30 ESV / 910 helpful votes 

A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.










The ugly head of jealousy reared his head on Saturday when I went to my weekly meeting.  I was just waiting to be recognized but all that happened was that I am criticized when I made a mistake.   Initially I was angry but then I realized there is a purpose I am not recognized and that is okay.  









God is in charge of my successes and failures and He knows the paths that should be opened and what should be closed.

Jealous and Let Go



I sat in the teacher meeting so angry and jealous.  I was just waiting to get the news but it did not come.  I have changed my tune.  If it comes for certification I will be patient.  I am just thankful to be a part of the team.


I want to teach but I can't with an unhealthy situation.  I will allow God to work.  If I am supposed to do it I will get asked.  If not I will realize that ship has sailed.


Coaching for the marathon.  I let others irratants get to me.  I will set my boundaries and If I am to coach I will.

Instead of relying on Chris I will relay on Christ.

Saying No



Today was a day I had to say no twice.  First I had a parent who wanted me to change up my whole plan how I was communicating.  Then later my friend wanted me to go to a specific store to buy groceries.  I offered to but I won't risk my own health to get groceries because there is specific money and products.

JOY



Today I will ask if I question what would Jesus do?  I can't control what others think but I can step away and realize their reasoning and You or me how can I react today.

I am so glad...



I am so thankful I have been away from the drama of my school.  It was so difficult even though I did not get in the middle of much of it.  I learned through this whole experience that my decision to stay out of stuff was the best thing even though I felt it alientated myself from a lot of people. 

I also learned to pray more and ask for His wisdom.  It is easier to ask others for their opinion and better for God to be my advisor and vindicator.

Yesterday I almost fell into a gossip mess.  My friend who is not my aide was very helpful this week.  Then she kept on asking what my other aide was doing.  Really she was being pretty lazy.  But I did not complain.  Then suddenly I am hearing from my aide concerned because I had sent her several emails.  I have learned that it is okay not to answer every message from FB.  It is okay to not answer.  Sometimes it is the best thing.

But when the Holy Spirit prompts me to do something I need to do it.  I am slowly learning the difference between condemnation and conviction.

Switch 2



I am working on letting people just be people.  Instead of trying to figure out the what I am stepping back and controlling only what I can. As much as it is possible I will use my trying to figure out stuff and instead of find a way to navigate and be a blessing to others.


I have been learning the difference between condemnation and conviction.  I am slowly learning that I can't deal with others stuff but just mine.

Today I learned that I cannot change others but allow God to change me to say and do the right thing to change others whether they are a believer or not. \


Today I am going pause when I am stressed or hungry.  I am going to use the positive stress as a way to burn off energy and use it to positively create something.I

I had an opportunity to use my emotions today.  I got frustrated when people were not doing their job.  But I just prayed, vented and then did what I knew I needed to do and it seemed to work out.  I can't control stupid on others and really this new thing of communication it just like the meetings I had before.

Again taking the test of putting off hard things is okay and in the midsts of the trial keeping my head.  I will pause five minutes before making a decision and use my experiences that I had in the past connect new and challenging situations.

Forgive

I am learning in the midst of past and presents hurts I need to forgive.  If I do not I cannot grow as a person, change and most importantly be the woman of God I need to be.  I choose to forgive.  If I do my weight will continue to go down, I will grow and my creativity will skyrocket.  It is a process and I am so glad I can do this process everyday.

Emotional Eating



I am so thankful that I need to be more mindful of my eating.  I need to focus on the food and realize the difference between hunger and frustration.  I am full.  I do not need anything else in my mouth and watching tv while I eat defeats the purpose.

More Christians Than I Realized

Today I went to school and being Christian is a bit more accepted today with everything going on with the virus.  But I encountered two Christians today that I did not know existed.  If I am going to live my life I need to be more accepting and be out of my comfort zone. 

Hebrews 13:2

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.

Answer from an unexpected source

Today I went in to get my work together for the upcoming E Learning Days.  Lately I have had an attitude toward my boss.  I still believe it is totally deserved.  But as the copier was rebelling from multiple copies my boss was the one who helped me after I prayed that it could be fixed.  I guess I will give her a pass next time and realize that God works through all people.  Even the boss that drives you crazy.

1 Corinthians 2:9

 

1 Corinthians 2:9 GOD’S WORD Translation (GW)

9 But as Scripture says:
“No eye has seen,
    no ear has heard,
        and no mind has imagined
            the things that God has prepared
                for those who love him.”

4 Things

I woke up this morning and felt that the Lord wanted me to do these four things during my absence.  First I need to avoid forms of entertainment and focus on watching and thinking about things for their eternal value.  I need to watch what I eat and not let the time off to let my quest for 130 then 125 go.  I need to limit my time buying stuff on Amazon so as not to create a crazy bill.   I need to make the most of this time. 

Ecclesiastes 3 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

There Is a Time for Everything

3 There is a right time for everything.
Everything on earth has its special season.
2 There is a time to be born
    and a time to die.
There is a time to plant
    and a time to pull up plants.
3 There is a time to kill
    and a time to heal.
There is a time to destroy
    and a time to build.
4 There is a time to cry
    and a time to laugh.
There is a time to be sad
    and a time to dance.
5 There is a time to throw away stones
    and a time to gather them.
There is a time to hug
    and a time not to hug.
6 There is a time to look for something
    and a time to stop looking for it.
There is a time to keep things
    and a time to throw things away.
7 There is a time to tear apart
    and a time to sew together.
There is a time to be silent
    and a time to speak.
8 There is a time to love
    and a time to hate.
There is a time for war
    and a time for peace.

God Controls His World

9 Does a person really gain anything from his work? 10 I saw the hard work God has given us to do. 11 God has also given us a desire to know the future. God certainly does everything at just the right time. But we can never completely understand what he is doing. 12 So I realize that the best thing for people is to be happy. They should enjoy themselves as long as they live. 13 God wants everyone to eat and drink and be happy in his work. These are gifts from God. 14 I know anything God does will continue forever. People cannot add anything to what God has done. And they cannot take anything away from it. God does it this way to cause people to honor him.
15 What happens now has also happened in the past.
    Things that will happen in the future have also happened before.
    God makes the same things happen again and again.

God Allows Unfairness

16 I also saw this here on earth:
Where there should have been justice, there was evil.
    Where there should have been fairness, there was wickedness.
17 I certainly believe that
God has planned a time for every thing and every action.
    He will judge both good people and bad people.
18 But I decided that God leaves it the way it is to test people. He wants to show them they are just like animals. 19 The same thing happens to animals and to people. They both have the same breath. So they both die. People are no better off than the animals. The lives of both are soon gone. 20 Both end up the same way. Both came from dust. And both will go back to dust. 21 Who can be sure that the spirit of man goes up to God? Or who can be sure that the spirit of an animal goes down into the ground? 22 So I saw the best thing a person can do is to enjoy his work. That is all he has. No one can help a person see what will happen in the future.
