Just Go
I was praying, meditating and listening today. I wanted to share what I learned. I think so many of us have given up on dreams or visions in our lives. I can say that has been true for me in many ways and if that is you, then this is for you. Instead of waiting for someone to come along and tell you what you need to do with your life. Learn to listen to your maker, take your faith and put it into action. If you have a desire to do something more or better in your life. Go do it! Pick up your mat and walk!! You better believe you have what you need to do just that. God has granted us the ability to do what He has already given you. Learning is Remembering! Even if you are fearful, discouraged or whatever. Don't let that stop you! Get your life right with God, keep your eyes on Him and watch your life change. I write this for me and for anyone who needs to hear this. You don't have to have a degree, or a history of experience. If you ask for wisdom and courage....God will give it to you. He loves us so much and ultimately is the authority on who we are. Whatever you need, you are not alone. You don't have to look at the big picture, leave that to God and just begin. Begin to desire more, begin to be free, begin to have faith and begin to be courageous. Whatever you want, God wants more for you! Sow and Reap the rewards. The skill will come, but the vision comes first. Don't keep being stuck! We are not rejects, we are the hands and feet of God. For those who don't have this belief, well I pray you find peace.

Living in the moment is a choice
I have not blogged in a while and I am sure not many people even read if at all. I am really writing this for me as an outlet and in hopes of sharing lessons, as they come to me. I slept in today thank God! It' been a long week and I started feeling anxious and a little over tired. I have so much that was put on my plate all at once in the last month. With all the choices recently introduced in my life, it's like being at an all you can eat buffet. I am now evaluating each week and making sure I am adding the right things into my life. Somehow, I do not feel that happening lately, but I am thankful for all of the concrete business opportunities. Now, I am just narrowing it all down and seeing what suits me more and more. This week, I hope to make it back to community group and start allowing myself to be involved more with Christian Community. I know it's a good thing and one that I should not be scared of. I fear I may be judged, but why should I. I mean no one has it all together! Also, my impression has been that they will want to take up too much of my time, but that is my choice. It doesn't have to be a negative thing in my life, but a positive one. Tomorrow then, we will find our way back to the group.
I came across a little article today that I wanted to share it. It is about acceptance. I decided again today, to just accept where I am daily, do my best and not feel guilty when I need down time. I believe living in each moment is the key to happiness! Focus really helps with that too!! I just started to get out of wack and then listened to a sermon last night and read this article it's exactly what I needed. Here ya go!
Acceptance
"If you are on a train, will you reach your destination quicker by running up and down the corridors? Some processes just need to take as long as they need to take. That's not easy when you feel a burning desire to get them over with as quickly as possible. Yet that's actually all the more reason to make sure that you don't waste your energy. Even if it means incurring the disapproval of people who do not understand, you need to pull back a little and pace yourself this month. Focus on what can be done, and become less agitated about whatever, for now, cannot be altered."
Take Action Challenge
If the above passage resonates with you, you might want to print it out and keep it nearby. Taking a few moments to read it when you feel impatient or frustrated may be just the remedy you need to return to center.
Christ is that center for me and I have not given Him the place he deserves in my life. It's because of my relationship with Jesus and His guidance, that I am able to add or take away anything in my life. After all, His best is the best for me. I hope you all will find your center and breathe deep. Take a moment today and feel who your are deep within. Ask yourself or God, is there anything I need to add or take away from my plate? I am not going back for seconds at the buffet. My plate is full right now and I want to enjoy every bite!

Tuesday Tired
I had a busy day yesterday, but it feels good to be so tired at night. It makes sleeping much easier! Jay & I are kind of back tracking with our workout program. I wanted to do this a week ago, but did not have the supplements and shake. We are in the middle of a two day fast and so far so good. Really a cleansing, before we continue in our wkout program. It allows your digestive track to be cleansed and shrinks your stomach, so when you eat you will eat less. We were eating so bad last year and have really made a major choice to work together and create a healthier lifestyle. I am so glad I made the choice to partner with Beachbody and be a rep/coach. I already have people thinking about making that change themselves and I really want to help people be healthier and fit! We both are just trying to keep our minds occupied while we are not eating solid food! We have a fasting shake, so it replaces all the body essentials during this time. It's not so bad....I am feeling lighter and healthier already. By Monday, we will step up our stamina level and begin building better strength! I will keep you posted!
I am so tired tonight, so I must go to bed early, but first we will watch Lost! Favorite Show hands down. I wanted to share a little article I read about God and his timing. I did not get to spend some time this morning in devotion, so I wanted to take some time tonight to get some good stuff in. Especially since I have no food to eat, it helps to focus on higher ways. Here is an article I wanted to share. It is great! It is from one of the many Women of Faith ladies. If you have never heard of Women of Faith check out there site. http://www.womenoffaith.com/ Here is the article enjoy!!! It really helped me today. I am learning to trust God more everyday and it feels good to know I really can!
As for me, I trust in You, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hand. — Psalm 31:14–15
Do you have trouble resting in the fact that God is in control and that he knows the times and seasons in your life? Think twice before you are tempted to worry or force life to move at your pace. God moves according to his sovereignty, not according to our timetable, and peace will come only when you learn to trust his timing in every area of your life.
Resist the urge to constantly ask questions like, “When is Mr. Right going to come along?” or “When will I get the promotion I deserve?” or “What will happen if my biological clock runs out before I get pregnant?” When you grasp the truth that when he moves it will be according to his perfect plan, it makes a huge difference.
God is the God of all times, and to know him is to know faithfulness itself. He has the big picture in mind, and he knows the plans he has for you. Your times are safe in his hand. There is no need to be anxious about when God is going to answer your prayer or move on your behalf. You can relax in the certainty that his ways and his timing are perfect.

The Power of words!
Jan 30th
I heard two messages this morning! Got up first at 7am with the kitty meowing in ear. He is ready for food and fun! I just now it's going to be a tuff transition when I finally have a child. The one good thing about being in business for yourself and not having kids, is you can sleep in if you want. All last week though, I got up early like 7-8am and stayed awake all day. I started out my days exercising, preparing healthy lunches and snacks for jay, making sure we had the right food for or healthy low fat meal plan with our Beachbody fitness plan http://www.beachbodycoach.com./mindytrimble
I am trying to get myself going on journaling every morning and spending time with God, which means I have to start getting up at 6 daily through the week. We'll see how it goes! I started a very part time job as Cheekwood Pineapple Room. I like it already! I have been exhausted by the end of each day and have been ready for bed at like 9 or 10. Yesterday, I got to sleep in and it was the best recuperative sleep I have had in a while. We woke up to 4 inches of snow and couldn't even open the door all the way. I was not prepared for what the day was to bring. I thought yeah! We can build a snow man and sled and just be together....my hubby and me. I also wanted to read this book I have been getting lots out of. Anyhow, I was told about 15 minutes after waking up that a friend of Jays may be coming over. Well is he or isn't he I asked. Not knowing for sure, I rushed to clean the house for the next two to three hours. Finally, I texted him wanting to know for sure if he was coming and yes he said I am. I don't know about any of you ladies, but I like the house straightened up if company is coming over. I get too embarresed otherwise. I became upset because I was not informed for sure if this friend was coming over or not. I allowed this upset to ruin my day. I spent the whole day in my room frustrated with a bad additude. Although, I did watch some movies that were good. I said some mean things too I of course regret.
After the friend left, we took the movies back to redbox and man was is scary driving. The roads are so iced up from the rain on top of the snow. I thought we wouldn't make it back in one piece, but we did. I decided I was going to stay mad. I mainly just wanted to be told ahead of time if for sure someone is coming over, so I can prepare. I dont' know why I am this way, but it can be a problem. I let it ruin my whole day! I later apologized and went to bed happier. I then woke up and well driving to church was out of the question, due to the roads. Our church broadcasted a live church service, so we got to hear a great message this morning afterall. While seeing the beauty of Gods work. The snow this weekend I know made everyone slow down!! The message was about the Power of our Words! What we say matters to one another matters! I hope I can mature more each day and not get upset about things that just don't matter. It is better to say good things no matter what, to choose wisely with love and look to God for help in our additude.

Faith Goes a long Way
I listened to Joyce Meyer this morning. She is just one of many I listen to. She was talking about faith and the fruits of the spirit. That God does not do anything in our lives without our persmission because of free will. I have never done all things Godly in my life, but I have felt the Spirit of God calling me for a long time. I accepted Jesus as Lord years ago and have walked with Him. He has seen the hidden parts of me. Afterall, the bible teaches in Psalm 139:7 Where can I go from your spirit? Where can I flee from your presence. I am embracing this week this change. It will take dicsipline, but I embrace that without dicsipline change cannot take root. I do not want to continue as a flower constantly being choked by all the weeds. I want to be what God desires today. I know in saying this, I am up for a fight. I also admit that I have human traits that may seem contrary to some, but judge not lest you be judged. I always accept that I will most likely never arrive, but it's the striving and awareness that counts. I walk today and allow God to deal with me and where I am right now. Take my life and let it be, higher in your ways! Help me to be mindful of my words to everyone I come in contact with. Gods love constrains me and compels me and it is because of your love that I can love. This of course is most important! I hope to rid myself of the need to impress and find that flow in just being who I am. Who I am belongs to Gods work in me. I need to let go and let God as it's said.....maturity! Whatever we do in this life, well we have to do the hard work! Whatever that is it will take time, but doesn't everything!
