Burn

“Burn your Bridges”

I found this sentence in a book I am reading. I thought about it, and I realized how much that spoke to me. “Burn your bridges” behind you.

If you have gotten through a trial, or just something that has gotten to you; burn the bridge behind you. It is a way of saying you are saying no matter what happens now, I can’t go back and it can’t get me.

I have been through much over the past year and a half. I have been afraid of my troubles and feelings coming back. Now I mentally burned the bridge behind me. I will never go back into depression, and it will never be able to come get me.

I have a say, and I have decided to burn the bridge.

I guess “Burn your bridges” will become a saying of mine. Maybe a catchphrase.

I will use this saying to help me go forward in my current trial, and through future trials.

God Bless!

Water

I made a simple craft the other day. I filled a unique bottle with water and dyed it red. Then I added a color keeper. I added rocks at the bottom, sparkles, and closed it up. Now I have a simple decoration.

Simple and easy.

I will put a picture on when I can.

Today my sister and I decided to have a sister day! Today is also a full moon, and national pet day. Quite a day! My sister and I went to the mall, and had fun window and actual shopping. We got some candles, earrings, and food! Today must have been deal day, a great time to go!

We had a blast, I wish we could do it more often.

Today is Sunday!

I am sad that I haven’t been going to church recently, but I know I can get back into it soon.

Sunday is supposed to be a day of worship, and growing up I was taught it was a day of rest. No work, shopping, etc. That seems to be fading now in days. People use Sunday as their family day – which in it’s self is not bad. However, it is a day of rest.

One thing about Sundays now, I miss my papa putting mini sermons on Facebook every Sunday morning. I miss it much.

Here is a verse for today:

Galatians 4:16  “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”

Do you ever stop liking someone, or “unfriend” them because they told you the truth? In that moment- you are the weaker… of course all rebuke should be made in love, and care. In addition, Take the comment, search it out. If true, take with a humble heart. If not, take with a humble-kind heart.

Today was fun! Babysitting was okay, I do wish the kids obeyed more. My niece is only 4 and she is very hormonal. My Oldest nephew is becoming a know-it-all. My youngest nephew is still cute, though he can be a rascal sometimes.

Food

Now this board will also include recipes and just food ideas.

 

Here is an example: “Today I made … Cookies.” “Here is the recipe for …”

Above all

God is above all. Ephesians 1:21 “Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:”

 

Bed-time brain

While I am in bed my head comes up with all sorts of stuff. Last night it came up with “Anything I am thankful for is a reason to live.” Nice thought. Even though you may not feel loved or wanted, if you love someone, or are thankful for them, you have a reason to live.

There is also another reason to live that is always around. God put you on this earth. If you are alive, you have a reason to be. God does not have useless people on earth… although a few people may make you wonder how that is true.

God loves you! No matter what you have done, God can forgive and He will always love you!

A song I like about it not mattering what you have done:

Not much in the family has gone on, and I am actually thankful for that. My sister in law recently lost her grandma which makes three grandparents dying in the past six months for her. I can’t imagine losing one family member after the other. And as far as I know, only one of the three were saved. Praying for strength for the entire family.

My close family is fine. Getting ready for my sister’s graduation, and my sister in laws graduation. My sister will be graduating from High school and my sister in law is graduating from college! My sister hopes to go into grooming dogs as a career. She will be going to trade school sometime in 2018. My sister in law has finished interior design courses. She hopes to work for herself and help people.

My dad is looking at maybe working again… just something small.

My brother (not eldest) is looking for a job, he has to get some kind of job here pretty soon.

Me? I am boring. I am currently waiting on what I should do next. So far, waiting seems to be a good choice.

Cuddle time!

Today I got to spend about 30 minutes cuddling with Shugums! This is not a normal thing. Shugums is not one for cuddling. When she wants to cuddle it is special.

While we were cuddling she pulled my hand in closer… It was incredibly cute!
