hi friends :)
how do you feel when you walk outside and see sunshine? i feel happy and free. sunshine is a beautiful gift from God that is mentally, spiritually, and physically beneficial for you. the more the better, right?
wrong.
if all we had was sunshine, would we appreciate the gift? would we be as thankful, as reverent to our Heavenly Father if we knew we could receive His gifts so easily without ever a reason to appreciate them? think of it as hawaii; to tourists, it is an awe-inspiring vacation spot, but if those tourists visit the same spot every year, it begins to lose its value as a vacation place, it becomes too routine, and the significance drops.
sunshine is like that. if we receive the gift so often that it begins to lose significance, eventually we don't see sunshine as a reason to thank God.
embrace the gifts we are given...including the clouds.
smiles and hugs :)

beautiful chaos...
hi friends :)
what does your schedule look like? how often do you wish for just an hour of leisure time to just relax? how focused are you at work or school? our lives are a big jumble of plans, ideas, thoughts, wishes, and the actual happenings. chaos, if you ask me. but it is a beautiful chaos. that big jumble is a mess from the outside, but with God at our side and a healthy dose of faith and trust in Him, there is a way out, a way to make the best from the mess that is this beautiful chaos.
let God be your event planner, take a break from the stress of the chaos and let Him arrange it as He sees beneficial to you...after all, He is God, He sees everything, knows everything, and is more than capable to take a messy chaotic day and turn it into a beautiful reflection of His plan.
smile, my friends, and relax a little.
the chaos can turn beautiful.
hugs and smiles :):)

be well :)
hi friends!
thanks to the Walgreens employee i spoke to yesterday, i have a new thought for you all...he was telling me how the company has a new phrase that they tell people. this phrase, be well, struck me as very important. not only does being well mean being physically healthy, but all around well. over and under, right to left, up and down, everything in alignment...
but,
since when can we humans attain perfection..? we can't, but God is. when we let Him be our guide, trust in His incredible plan, and believe that all will work according to Him, our minds and mentalities become well.
it doesn't take a psychologist to tell you that when the different pieces of you are healthy, the whole you is healthy. when you are healthy, you can be well.
sometimes all it takes is a step back from the controls (i really need to remember this) to let God guide us, and we see our own vibrancy and health shining around us. God is so good, my friends, let Him be your Guide. let Him help you to be 100% well.
smile my friends, and be well :)
