emotions

Do you realize you have control over your emotions?
You choose how to feel.

Are you letting your emotions contol you. and accomplishing nothing.

Change how you look at things. You can not change others but with Gods help you can change you and how you see others.

No one else makes you happy.

Wonders

I hear so often "put prayer back in our schools", put "God" back in government. But it really does start at home, how many of our children own a Bible, have one on the table in their homes, let alone give it the importance that we do our other worldly possesions.
My sister in law posted this on facebook the other day. And it really touched my heart. (IRS says even if you get divorced you keep the relatives)

"Wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we do our cell phone? We carry it everywhere we go. We flip through it throughout the day. We go home to get it if we forgot it. We received messages from the text. We couldn't live. Without it. We give it to the kids as gifts. We used it in case of emergency. One more thing,it would never be disconnected . Jesus has already paid the bill"

Orthorexia

Now I am unhealthy because I chose to eat healthy whole foods.

It makes me anti social.
It causes undo stress.

It makes my peers uncomfortable.

SORRY

I am still doing it. I feel better, I don't have to eat everytime you do.

Deal with it or stay away from me.
Your choice. It's MY Choice what I put in my body.

Very difficult for me to remember now adays.


"Broaden your circle of inclusion. Don’t ever reject someone just because they are different than you are. Everyone is valuable to God, and they should be valuable to us." –Joyce

Doing it right!

Take a couple of these to start, try to accomplish 100% but rejoice when you get can do 90% all the time

•Limit fructose to less than 25 grams per day. Ideally, you'll also want to limit the amount of fructose from fruit to 15 grams per day, as you're likely consuming 'hidden' fructose if you eat even small amounts of processed foods or sweetened beverages
•Limit or eliminate all processed foods
•Eliminate all gluten, and highly allergenic foods from your diet
•Eat organic foods whenever possible, preferably locally-grown
•Eat at least one-third of your food uncooked (raw), or as much as you can manage
•Increase the amount of fresh vegetables in your diet
•Avoid artificial sweeteners of all kinds
•Swap all trans fats (vegetable oils, margarine etc) for healthful fats like raw butter or coconut oil
•To re-balance your omega-3 to omega-6 ratio, take a high-quality omega-3 supplement, such as krill oil, and reduce your consumption of processed omega-6 fats from vegetable oils (trans fats)
•Drink plenty of pure water
•Optimize your vitamin D levels, either through appropriate sun exposure, a safe tanning bed, or a vitamin D3 supplement

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Beers

The Mayonnaise Jar and 2 Beers
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers .

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous ‘yes.’

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

‘Now,’ said the professor as the laughter subsided, ‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things—your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions—and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else—the small stuff. ‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

‘Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first—the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, ‘I’m glad you asked.’ The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.’

It's not that God gives us only as much as we can handle, but that HE shows us how to handle what we are given.

Are you worth it?

I kind of put responsibilities on hold since vacation. A little side tracked, Ash is working and the boys don't start preschool until September. You would not believe how busy you are when you add 2 four year olds, to 2 twelve year olds, one 9 year old, and one 2 year old. It is really chaotic around here.

So my post today is about taking care of you!

Do you make time to:
Fix nutritional food for yourself or do you grab junk?
Take a walk, ride a bike, run, hike, dance, make time to move everyday?
Meditate, stretch, talk with God, read, create, do something that relaxes you?

You are worth the time, you can make every excuse in the book, say yes when you really should say no, tell yourself you are better than others, but if you are not taking care of yourself, and taking the time for the above you are cheating yourself and those who love you.
