Today, this baby girl is 21 years old.

Even though I did not give birth to her, I love her as if I had.

Happy Birthday Kit-Kat! I hope that today is stellar!

Don't You Know That You're Toxic?

This link popped up on my Facebook news feed  a few weeks back.

It is a "click-thru" on the 7 Toxic Behaviors that Push Other's Away.

 Being Envious
Being Overly Sensitive
Playing the Victim
Constant Negativity
Lacking Self Control
Being Superficial
Being Cruel

It all boils down to simply taking every thought captive and banishing negative influences.

I have noticed that since I vowed this year to cultivate "the attitude of gratitude,"  being thankful for everything, good, bad, and otherwise, how much more my life has improved!
I am enjoying  God's Blessings that He keeps pouring out into my life!

Since (finally) participating in Financial Peace University last Fall, I have learned that God will bless me if I stay faithful to His Word, in my tithing and control of my finances.  Positive proof: my inheritance and my new car!

I have begun thanking everyone on my team for their hard work everyday ( well...most days) to let them know how much I appreciate them.

I try to steer clear of jumping on the "Bash Wagon," posting negativity or spreading gossip.  I've started posting only positive affirmations on that "evil" Facebook  monster.

I have turned up my prayers, careful to always thank the Lord for the amazing things that He is doing around me.

I have also been praying, very diligently, for the salvation of those lost souls who fall into these seven toxic behaviors, I see them in a huge, negative spiral, where actions continue to repeat themselves over and over again.

Food for thought

In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. ~1 Thessalonians 5:18

A Bit of Truth

Pastor Matt shared a powerful thought yesterday.

"When you believe a lie, you empower the liar."

How are you empowering the liar?

Food for thought.
