Stayin alive!

Title has nothing to do with today's blog. It's just that I'm cleaning and pumped up!

Of course because I need to multitask:

I'm cleaning

Listening to Music on iPhone

Thinking about "stuff"

Some of it is Ruminating about a circumstance with some People that I can't change.

Heartbreaking and disappointing to say the least.

Yet, I've dealt with this before (different people). I did get over it and moved on, but it was a "BIG challenge".

This I Know: In myself I DO NOT HAVE the resource to "get over it and move on"

BUT, in the Lord with his word I HAVE the resource.

Give it to Got - "I see the people at the foot of the cross on their knees". And I too pray for them. I do forgive them and let "God deal with them in his way and time".

Next, I acknowledge that the "DEVIL" wants to rob me of my joy. Easily done when my mind thinks about this circumstance. BUT "I" my choice need to DIRECT my thoughts. THAT I CAN DO. My freewill!

now, ADD moment -

Social Gathering always over FOOD! YIKES!

Then I removed myself from self righteous judgement and said "HEY, what about the Last Supper?". Right, and the first Wedding? Changing water into wine.

Ok.... then

"this do in remembrance of me"

Keep priorities and desire in the right place.

Ok,

Now back to....

where was I?

Oh ya

Cleaning! BYE

The Battles of LIFE

No doubt it is a struggle.

Poor night sleep

Fighting a illness

Personal challenges (fiance, relationship)

..... Feeling down, depressed, sad, disappointed, betrayed, scared, angry

So, saying "let it go, move on, don't let your emotions rule you"

Come on and get real. Saying those quotes mean nothing when your in the trenches of these emotions.

Put it into action

MAKE YOUR SELF SMILE! Your body senses the muscles around your mouth and sends out chemical markers stating "hey, she's happy... release more endorphins".

Quote Scripture Verses ! There is power in stating God's word... not the cliques of Man

Put a check on your nutrition - "are you lacking your Vitamin B's...?" these are Vitamins your body needs to battle Stress (can't escape stress in this world).

Fight Fatigue (sometimes from illness or depression) with stretches. This activity takes little energy and will put you on the right track! It will pull in oxygen to your muscles (heart is a muscle) and sends messages to your brain.

Drink your water with Lemon - Cup of Hot Tea with Lemon.... your 70% fluids so FILL UP!

Then.... SING SING SING - Sing out loud- Sing out Strong

Then... COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS not your troubles -

Name 7 things YOU ARE GRATEFUL for!

The battle is ON but.... YOU CAN WIN!

Don't give up and Don't give in!

Salute!

bless the Lord

Bless the Lord oh my soul

So, very important to wake up and immediately

PUT A SMILE ON THE FACE

say words of appreciation and praise for a new day

knowing that GOD is in Control

Rest in Him

Seek Him

Praise Him

Bless the Lord.... then you will have PEACE in any Storm

Power

Psalm 18:3

³I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Back in the Garden?

Trying to be my own God?

Calling upon the LORD, or trying myself to win the battle?

However, I have found that in this Journey.....

I am happy to say I'm making better "healthy food choices"

I am happy to say I'm acutely aware of the need to find opportunities to be active

I am happy to say I'm seeking reading God's word, praying and ....

Well, HE is worthy of my Praise and HE will save me.

Salute!

Satified

Be so filled and satisfied with the Lord that you will not reach for food to satisfy

When you face disappointment reach for the Psalms, God's word NOT FOOD.

That's where I want to be.

But, not entirely there yet....

Still disconnected!

This I have to figure out... pray.... call a cop! Ya, have myself arrested (lol)

Ridiculous!
