Heart Rate is a little fast as I slowly control my breathing. I admit I sometimes overlook the obvious. Then once I have time to actually think about what I said as well as what was said, I am smiling at my foolishness.

I read (NIV) 1st Samuel Ch 15:1-34 and I couldn’t understand why Saul didn’t do as God had told him to do?  Why did he only do half of what was told and believe that was okay?

I am no saint, but I do follow man made laws as well as the Good book (The Bible). I am honest and sometimes I have to hold my words back to not hurt someone’s feeling. I will say what I have to and stop pushing my point. I only wish others would feel the same.

I allowed self-doubt to enter my mind and my spirit and had me thinking about not moving forward. I am now YELLING satan GET UNDER MY FEET, BECAUSE JESUS IS GUIDING MY FEET. Fear was trying to get a hold of my spirit. So grateful for the Word. True I may have read 1st Sam last night and I just got a hold of what I read. I did say I was a little slow sometimes.

It is a little scary stepping out on a different plan, but if you don’t how can you improve your life. I also know this isn’t my true job, but it will get me closer to it. 

Why do people want to hold you down? They know you are strangling and keep wishing you well. Then once you get closer to opening that door, they are pulling you back? More questions without answers. Then again I might not like the answer if I look a little closer.

(Laughing) I am not going to worry about anyone or anything that tries to hold me down. I am about to get me a cup or two of coffee and then start working on my book. Yes, I am writing another series of books and can’t wait to get into my world. Never let anyone take your joy….

Once again I find myself laughing at what people are saying to me and I am amazed. I was told the water you drink today, will not be released until tomorrow, and you should keep drinking half your body weight each day.

I agree water is good for everyone to drink every day. When I am at home. I will drink more water, and it’s strange, because an hour or so I am closing the bathroom door. I don’t know of any place one can work and stay in the bathroom more than they  are working without a medical note.

So, that theory of what you drink today comes out tomorrow, I don’t buy it, nor does drinking a lot while I am working, but I am drinking more water then I use to. All in all I am good.

One can laugh as you listen to the foolishness. In order for you to walk off your extra pounds, you have to be outside, or in a gym. There was a time when I would go to the mall an hour before it opened, and enjoyed comfortable walking inside cool air. Today I walk around my apartment and do a low impact workout. 

I must be doing something right, because I am a better me. I may not have reached my goal yet and I know that’s a good thing. The faster you lose it, the faster those pounds return, and I’m not going for that. I pound or two works great for me.                           

Today I added an upper body workout and my arms are yelling at me. The phrase “no pain, no gain” comes to mind and I must have done it right.

Walking also helps clear your mind. I am working, but working 13 hours doesn’t feel like work at the end of the week. Looking for a better job is longer and without pay. You get a few hopeful leads, but have to turn them down. Then when you finally get something you believe you could do and you share that joy, only to be shot down.

Yes, your so called friends know you are struggling to keep a roof over your families head, food in their rummies, and everyday needs. They never offered a helping hand and you never asked. I made it through, but sometimes a person get tired of barley making it through.

I can laugh through their careless words, because I put my faith in God’s Words and not the everyday men and women. One can listen to another person’s point of view, but in the end obe has to do what’s best for them.

I still say people are funny and who knows they may be feeling the same way about me. It’s time to take a step out into the unknown and be free to be me:  The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?Psalms 27:1 NLT

See I am still Smiling 😃

I knew today was going to be different, because I stepped out of my normal. I got up two hours before I had planned on getting up. I would normally lay there trying to go back to sleep. That never really works, my mind starts thinking of things to do, and the thoughts get louder the more you try to push them aside.

I really didn’t want to move from the warmth of my bed. “Ugh I am awake.” Oh well what’s done is done. Lights out as I reached for the remote control and soon gospel with in the air and I was on the move. I still didn’t want to turn the lights on, so with a candle, and a little lights coming from the open patio blinds it was enough light for me  to walk around my apartment.

Some may think I am not doing it right, because I am not walking outside or on a machine. This is where they are wrong. I have been walking around my apartment a d doing a low impact workout out and my back is slowly getting back to where there isn’t any pain. Although I do want to walk around my new neighborhood, but the reality of me being in so much pain I couldn’t move. No thank you. I just smile and keep on being me. I must be doing something right, otherwise they wouldn’t be trying to bring me down.

I will not stay in a box like everyone else. I will be moving forward and when I get so far in front of them, maybe they will want to catch up to me.

The sun is out and I will be working on my book as I enjoy sitting on the patio before the bugs start to come out. I can’t wait to get my 1st cup of coffee…

~ Doing things your way is sometimes the best way. I have no fear, because God is on my side. I wonder why it took me over 40 years to realize that not everyone is on my side. It doesn’t matter is they are your blood or someone whom you call a friend. Then again the title family and friend can be dropped down to an associate. They may know your name, but they don’t know you.

~ I am trying to move forward, but I keep going back to “no fear,” and trying to remember where I read it (without going online to find it).  Okay, I went to the back of my (NIV New International Version) Bible to the concordance, but I knew I read it. The Lord is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear?

 

The Lord is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid? Psalm 27:1 NIV

https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.27.1.NIV

 

I got up with a plan and I am following through to keeping my word. This time it’s to myself (to be a better me) and I’m not letting other voices in my thoughts. Yesterday as I was playing a game online, an app popped up, and I surprised myself by reading it. I really do not like drinking water, but I know its good for me. Anyway, this app sends a reminder to drink 10oz of water throughout the day. I actually drank half a bottle of water (16oz) with meds and no I normally just drank enough to get the pill down.

 

That was the old me. I have already walked 30mins and drank 20 ounces of water before 7:30am. I was told where I should walk, when I should go out, how much water I drank, and even what I should or shouldn’t be eating. I just stopped talking and tune them out, because I am free to be me.

 

I am walking within the comforts of my apartment, because I know my health better than anyone. A person with a bad back (a temporary set back, because by Jesus’s blood I know I am healed) one has to put in the work to improve themselves and I Will be safe doing it. 

 

One can improve themselves in so many ways, but first they have to have a dream and the strength to follow through. One has to understand some may say they want you to move forward, and although you are hearing the right words, but if you listen closely they’re words have no truth in them.

 

I am going to move forward and no one will stop me from my goal. I have told young adults to find a dream and work hard to set it free, because in order for you to move forward you cannot stay where you are at and no one is going to do it for you. Have faith in yourself as He has given you all you need to be a better you..

I am in the middle of a Pinterest day. I am clicking, saving, and posting on my Facebook page. Then I remembered a few of my friends are not on Facebook or Pinterest am still surprised at that one. Then the few friends that are on my page have said they are surprised I don’t have a lot of friends. I remind them I only have family (not all) and friends ( not everyone who knows my name are my friends, so why should they be in my space).

 

I may send a picture or two on their phone, but today I thought I do something different. I will write a story surrounding new clicks and go from there. I use to do this in school many years ago. I took my spelling list and turned them into stories fun instead of boring sentences. Who know I would be reliving a happy times from my past….

The thought of coming up with a story talking about flowers isn’t really happening. I am thinking about my two favorite colors and going to spend my time looking for “yellow and pink,” and enjoy my free time..

Pinterest is a cool place to get ideas for a party or just to pass the time. One never know what they are going to find….

Somethings are funny somethings are useful in a fun way.. This is a cute bedroom https://pin.it/2mwvzvgjozd5x3 and here is where you can get that look for your room or someone who likes “yellow & pink” and yes they go together.   https://pin.it/5zcp4j76mbrwex

Pinterest is an endless day of fun. At least it is for me and I know I am Not alone.

I could keep this up all day, but I’ll end it with Snoopy and get on with another project. I still have to finish my cross stitch gift. I think I’ll go out on the patio and enjoy the sun as I work. My Pinterest board “Yellow Rose” isn’t going anywhere, but since my board is like my “blog” a little bit of everything – I may change its title? Something to think about…

The End!!!
