Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
Take UP Your Cross Prompt: Proverbs 3:25-26 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. What is the desolation of the wicked? What does this mean? Answer: I believe the desolation of the wicked is the destruction or judgement of the wicked. Even when something happens that causes us to be suddenly afraid, we can trust God to protect us when our heart is right with him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ PROMPT May 26th Make a list of your top five short term goals and a separate list of your top five long term goals. What steps will you take to achieve them? This prompt made me daydream. Lol I don't know why I have such a struggle setting and reaching goals, but it honestly is not easy for me. I get sidetracked and distracted a lot. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the things I feel like I need and want to do. I have a hard time keeping focused. My best friend always teases me when she sees I have gotten sidetracked once again. She says, “1,2,3 squirrel!” lol I will joke back and say something like, “Man! Did you see the big fluffy tail on that one?” Yeah, so I get distracted easily. I have always been a daydreamer. Short-term goals are a bit easier than long-term ones. Let's see if I can name 5 of each. Short: 1. Get my crafts where I can set them up for sell on Facebook/online. 2. Finish the sewing alternations on the pants. 3. Get the kitchen clean already! (I’d rather be here on WDC) 4. Do laundry. 5. Write a story for the Writing for Kids contest for May Plan to accomplish? Make like Nike and just do it! Long: (This is really where I struggle) 1. Get about 2 or 2 weeks ahead in writing, the Bible Studies. Plan: write 1 extra Bible study every other week until this is accomplished. 2. Make money off my crafts rather it is for income or just for Hobby. Plan: Get more aggressive with my selling strategy. List pictures of them online. 3. Write a book rather it is published or not, preferably published. Plan:Write a chapter a month. 4. Read my study Bible, study notes and all. Plan: Read at least 1 chapter a day with the notes associated with it. 5. Figure out the diet plan that works for me and stick to it. Plan: Have a discussion with my doctor and take it from there. Ok, we will see how this works out for me. At least I put forth an effort. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To read is to voyage through time." Carl Sagan Do you agree with this quote? Write about this in your Blog entry today. It is often said that when you read a book, it takes you to another time and place. When I was a teenager and in a miserable situation, reading was my escape from reality. I would read a lot of fiction to escape my reality. It was therapeutic for me. So I have to say, yes, I agree. When we read the stories of the Bible, even though translated into our language, we are reading from over 2,000 years ago. Some of the earliest New Testament manuscripts were written within the 1st and 2nd century after Christ died. The old testament writings date back to before Christ. I find that quite interesting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy and found this planet Angel (185) Read this item:
Write about frogs today from this poem. Frogs are cold natured. If you have ever held one, I think they feel weird. I like to see them hopping around in nature. Sometimes it is interesting to go out at night and listen to the frogs and the crickets all doing their thing. If it weren't for the pesky mosquitoes, it could be relaxing I think. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Day 3113: May 26, 2021 Prompt: “One must always be careful of books," said Tessa, "and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us.” ― Cassandra Clare, Clockwork Angel What do you thing? Has a book ever changed you? Well, the Bible definitely has power to change people. I know there are others to. Yes, I have been changed by a Book or two. The Bible is one that has changed my life for the better. When I read a book about personal boundaries, this was a life-changer too. It taught me how to set healthy boundaries especially in toxic situations. There have been others too that I just can’t think of right off the top of my head at the moment. They will come to me in a day or two when I no longer need them to answer this question. Lol
