MOMENTOUS MONDAYS!

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Making it a Momentous Monday!!!

Ok my friends……. we are embarking on making Monday’s Momentous.

First, the definition of momentous – 1) sufficiently great    2) important to be worthy of attention  3) noteworthy.

Second, the synonyms of momentous – notable, worth of attention, remarkable, important, of importance

Are they NOT powerful words and meanings?!  What did that do to you just reading those definitions?  A little different than what we are used to when we are thinking about Mondays, right?

But what if?

What if we started thinking about Monday’s in a different way? What if we didn’t have such a negative perception of Mondays? Where did that even come from anyway?

Why not make Mondays something different?

I can’t wrap my head around why we don’t embrace it at times as a beautiful day just because we are getting up!

Hold on please……. am I saying that I wake up every Monday so hoping to run into work and get my work on?   No! Not every Monday!    🙂 HOWEVER, sometimes I feel like that on a Wednesday, Thursday or Friday!  So, what’s the difference of waking up and charging the day or waking up and already can’t wait until nighttime?

Gratefulness………. gratefulness from our heart………. deep within our hearts….. that’s where its at my friends.  Gratefulness and thankfulness.

Ahhhhhhh, when we have that, it so changes our perception on just about everything we have, we are and what situation is going on in our life.  Yes, even the most challenging seasons in our life make us who we are and stronger.

What I do think we need to be reminded of are the great things we do have…………family, friends, loved ones, a job, the ability to work, think, grow, make money and so much more!

So, how can we make this a Momentous Monday?

Take time, sit and just think for a moment of the things you do have, the things you are thankful for, the things you couldn’t imagine your life without and some things we possibly take for granted.

If we learn to be thankful in the smallest of things, our attitudes will change to be thankful in the bigger things and possibly even the most challenging of times.

Food for thought!  Go ahead….. make today a Momentous Monday!  Hope your day is great!

Rain Rain Go Away……..or …….

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Rain!  Are you serious?  My hair will get wet!  My clothes!

Why is it that some, most, a good bunch of people think of the rain like that?  Come on…..let’s admit it……we, at times, have a bad attitude with rain.

That includes me but…….

I shrugged off that attitude last night and boy, did it feel good!

Let me explain…………I have been trying to get my 3-4 days of exercise in and I decided to take a good strenuous walk last night and it was beautiful out…….until…….the rain just started to downpour…..again…..

I have to admit that at first I had the attitude of “seriously!?” and all of a sudden it hit me and it spoke to my heart……..”be childlike”, “don’t stress the small stuff”, “take the opportunity to do something different”.  I then remember that I like to walk in the rain 🙂 – have done it several times on purpose!

All of a sudden my attitude shifted and before you knew it, I was enjoying the different, the throwing away a bad attitude, the rain cooling me off.  In fact, I ended up lifting my small weights in the yard with the rain 🙂

Listen my friends…….it’s the small stuff that sometimes drives us crazy, that gets under our skin, however, in the scope of things, they really are small things.

It can be small things that frustrate us, depress us, infuriate us……….OR………it can be small things that make us see bigger things, that expand our minds, that give us a lift and a smile.

What’s the difference?  Glad you asked!  It’s our attitude and our perception towards those small things.

Next time you can witness a child play with a toy, get mad at a friend and the next minute they are best friends, chase bubbles or catch fire flies, watch that child’s attitude with the smallest of things.  Better yet, witness and watch a child laugh at the silliest things.

Childlike heart – seeing things differently – that’s where it’s at.  There is a special perception children hold and one that we need to visit more often.  I believe wholeheartedly that if we view things with a childlike heart towards the small things and childlike faith towards the big things, our life would change.

Do something different today – walk in the rain, get dirty, make a craft, forgive like a child, play with bubbles, build a sandcastle, color a page, play hopscotch or catch fire flies.

I know, firsthand, there is power in that.

Now I can’t wait to catch some snowflakes on my tongue 🙂

Unlimited possibilities to view things differently.  I hope you all try today!

Blessings!

Off to Spreading the Love!

Come spread the Love with Me!

I have embarked on a journey of spreading some love……

I love nature!  I love photography!  But I also love people and helping them!  So……I have combined them! 🙂

Please help by checking the website out below and consider purchasing a canvas print.  20% of the net proceeds is going to build a fund to help cancer patients and their families personally.

I have been touched by cancer in my family as I am sure many of you have.  It is a devastating disease and heartbreaking for many to see those you love die an untimely and sad death.

When my mother and father were on their death beds, personal gifts and acts of kindness touched our families in beautiful ways.  In such ways, that I would like to do some passing on to other families that are fighting the disease as well.

Please check out http://www.ourcanvas-4cancer.com and consider helping by purchasing a canvas print and being a part of a bigger picture 🙂

My contact information is on the website as well as information to my gallery.

Thank you so much!

Have hope – Keep Faith – Spread Love!

Truth!

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

I found wholeness through the love of God when His unconditional love got a hold of me.  That’s it in a nutshell.  That is what I needed in my life.  A taste, the feel, the absolute knowing of what unconditional love was all about.  When I knew, that I knew, that no matter what I did before and who I was and the faltered person I still can be, that God loves me, there is a change that one will have in their heart that will be  so touching that it is unexplainable.  But – oh – so beautiful!

It’s your too – it’s everyone’s – and if you don’t feel it – ask God to meet you where you are at. I didn’t “feel” it right away either.  It was something I sought after.  Sometimes I think I ran away from it since it might have seemed foreign.  But – it is real – very real.

When it does get a hold of you – it will change you – and heal you.

God is a good God.  Unconditional love heals.

We need more of that unconditional love in the world and there would be more healing.  Period.  Truth.  What a wonderful thing that would be.  When I receive that – and I do – from my fiance’ – it is a feeling like no other.  This world would be changed.

Receive love – Give Love – True Love Heals.

Starts With Us. 🙂

Praying for a Beautiful Monday for Everyone!

Many beautiful ways to worship……..way past the instruments

/ Kelly Savage / Leave a comment

Worship is……….

putting other’s needs before our own selfish gains……..

listening for God’s voice and putting our own agenda aside…….

walking in forgiveness when other’s actions fall short of our expectations…..

going to work and giving God our best day and doing the work onto God……

not always music………

living in obedience to what the Holy Spirit is speaking……

living in the fruit of the spirit……gentleness, faithfulness, self control, meekness, peace, joy, love, kindness, patience, goodness, temperance and faith………

not always within 4 walls……….

acknowledging Him and His greatness in everything …….

maintaining a Godly attitude when we don’t want to…….

holding true to our convictions…..at all times

can be done everyday……at work, home, in the store, alone, with or without instruments and with or without a perfect voice…….

so much more I didn’t mention but can be found in the smallest of things we do everyday that is not in the norm of the instruments on stage or voice……that is only one beautiful part……there are also many beautiful parts out there as worship onto our beautiful amazing God………….

My desire………to continuously have the Lord check my heart, remove the impurities that are not of Him, take that as the first step of worship and then belt away to Him praises of just how good of a God He is even if I am off tune and I don’t have an instrument…….and I know He would be pleased and show up for me…….that IS just how much our God loves US!
