This last week has been a time where worry has taken over!

I wake up, and I'm good. I drink my coffee, I read my Bible, i pray, and then all of a sudden its like the windows break open and the "what if's" flood my life...

They take over my trains of thought. They invade my daily thinking...

Sometimes I forget everything that I just learned and read, because "what if"...

The Bible tells us that storms WILL come... Trouble WILL come...

So, we need to turn our fears and our worries into faith and change the situation.

"Even if trouble comes"
"Even if the storm tries to break me"

When we turn our sentences to this, we can hear the words "but god"...

There will be trouble, "but god" has our backs.
The storm will try to break us, "but God's" got this!

BUT GOD...

EVEN IF...

😍

Paul and Barnabas went through a lot of crazy, during their ministry in Acts 13-14!

Jews were against them, and turned others against them and the gospel. In each town, the Jews had made plans to stone Paul and Barnabas.

After they had gone into Derbe, away from these Jews, the people worshipped at Paul and Barnabas's feet, trying to bring sacrifices. It was here, that those Jews found them, turned a bunch of people away from Paul and Barnabas, and stoned Paul.

They thought Paul was dead so they drug him outside of the city... Little did they know, God was on Paul's side, and Paul got up and walked right back into the city.

Paul and Barnabas left the next day to go back to a town where people had already rejected them. During their preaching of the gospel in this town, Paul said these words while encouraging these new disciples to stay true to their faith.

"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." ~Acts 14:22.

As we go through this season... as we whether this storm... As we try to keep our boat afloat right now... These words struck a chord in me this morning.

I have to go through hard times in order to enter the kingdom of heaven.

God never said "if" I see trouble... God said "when" I see trouble. And this is a reminder.

This is a reminder that I will see hardships, BUT I have to stay strong in my faith, for God never leaves me nor forsakes me, and is with me wherever I go, always...

Happy Wednesday!

What helps you get through the day?

My morning start off okay, but they usually start of better when I diffuse some oils!! This morning I blended a few together and they are making a DELICIOUS aroma!

Cinnamon bark, breathe, cheer, wild orange, and spearmint! This is a combination of uplifting, immune boosting, "chill out", and wake up oil! Its my go to oils first thing in the mornings!!

We usually have oils going all day, but depending on the mood of the people in the house, we switch things up every day!

You guys, I love my oils!

I drink a couple drops of lemon oil in my water, we have allergy rollers, unicorn/happy rollers, belly rollers...

They don't cure cancer but they sure help a person feel better! (And they make the house smell better!)

Do you use oils? What are your favorite blends? Favorite oils? Tell me about what you use!

Let’s talk about MOTIVATION!!!
Why is motivation important in life?
❤️ Motivation eliminates the questions, and aligns you with the goals that you have set for yourself! (SAY WHAT?!)
I have found a few reasons why motivation is SO IMPORTANT!
1. Motivation clarifies a goal!

👉🏻 When you are motivated you have a want, and need, to change the life around you, in some way. Motivation helps you to turn your goal into something obtainable so you can reach it!
2. Motivation teaches perseverance!
👏🏻 I can’t be the only one who has ever hit a road block, got knocked down and NOT wanted to get back up! Thomas Edison said “our greatest weakness lies in giving up”... If that’s our greatest weakness, why not strive to change our greatest weakness by NOT giving up when we hit a road block???
3. Motivation helps conquer fears!!!
🙌🏻 FEAR IS A SCARY THING!!!! I know! I feel it E.V.E.R.Y S.I.N.G.L.E D.A.Y!!! Fear can LITERALLY stop you from achieving your goals! Fear of failure, fear of letting someone down, fear of getting hurt... Y’ALL.... You may be scared, BUT... GET UP AND DO IT ANYWAYS!!
4. MOTIVATION BUILDS SELF-CONFIDENCE!!!
🤟🏻🤙🏻👋🏻🙌🏻 Confidence is a by-product or reaching small, measurable, milestones in your goal reaching!!! When you overcome fear, go around obstacles, kick down that road block, you feel a sense of accomplishment, which 👏🏻 BOOSTS 👏🏻 YOUR 👏🏻 CONFIDENCE 👏🏻!!!!
Here is your motivation for the day!
DO THAT WORKOUT!
POST THAT PICTURE!
HELP A STRUGGLING FRIEND!
FINISH THAT PRODUCT!
YOU my friend, are the product of motivation, love, and self-care!
What is your goal this week? Let’s work on it together!!!

What is this thing of “sleep” that people talk about??
Kidding.. I sleep, sometimes... 😂😂
Did you know that getting an adequate amount of sleep is SO important to your health?!?
Here is why sleep is sooo important!
1. Some studies have shown that people who don’t get enough sleep, tend to eat more calories! (Snack more, and have a bigger appetite)! Lack of sleep can increase hormones that cause you to want to eat constantly!
2. Good sleep can MAXIMIZE athletic performance! Inadequate sleep has been shown to cause lesser grip strength, sluggishness, less motivation, less focus!
3. Poor sleep is linked to depression!!! Y’all, this one... People with mental health struggles such as depression and anxiety, complain of lack of sleep, and inadequate sleep!!!
4. Adequate sleep is linked to hormone levels, muscle recovery, and weight loss! It is so important to get adequate sleep, especially if you have sore muscles, or are trying to lose weight! 😃
I know I love my sleep. I am a night owl, and would rather stay up late and sleep in past the sun coming up!
Have your sleeping habits changed since the stay at home orders have been placed??
Are you getting more sleep? Less sleep? Better sleep??

Today starts a new week.
A new chance to change your attitude...

Another chance to push play, to reset your mind...
But y’all... some days that’s hard!
Especially when you are feeling burnt out from ALL THE THINGS!
How do you tell if you’re burnt out??
You are probably...
❤️ A little moody
💙 Crying at the drop of a hat
🧡 Yelling or Anger outbursts
💛 Short Attention Span
💚 Anxiety and maybe “extra” depression
💜 Heartache, and loneliness
I know that sometimes I feel burnt out, and I’ve been feeling that this morning!
Instead of taking head of the lack of motivation, I decided to push play on a SHORT (10 minute) stretching workout, and I plan to have a full day, of “making it count”!
How can I pray for you??
Do you need someone to talk to?
Do you need a friend?
You aren’t alone!!

It has been so so easy to become discouraged in the last few weeks.
As I look outside this morning, at the beautiful world around me, God reminds me of his presence.
The soft sunlight...
The raindrops on the grass....
The birds singing...
It’s a peaceful and humbling reminder that God is here. In this world.
The beautifully painted rock on my front porch, that was gifted by someone, has the following verse on it!
“The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.””
‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭31:8‬ ‭NIV‬‬
Just another reminder that we are not alone in this world. In this crazy.
A reminder of who is in our corner!
