A Mother’s Prayer

💖💖💖💖

Talk about Motivational Monday!  I got a wedding to attend soon!  My son is getting married this Saturday to an amazing young woman and together they remind me of teamwork on steroids!  Sorry – it’s the best way I can put it! 🙂 – through life’s ups and downs and what it throws at us sometimes, this couple has worked with persistency to grow together and have fun doing it!

What does that have to do with motivation you ask?  Well, let me be real.  I have prayed their whole life to be able to find someone and share the next chapters of their life with that person and now this season is among them.

But, as a mother, you continue to only wish the best for your children and prayer has always been one thing that I truly believe in and have seen first hand how it works.

What does that have to do with your Motivational Monday?  What I would like is for it to remind each and every one of us that God is among us and He always loves to hear from us and our hearts.

So, today, my motivation took me to the upcoming bond of marriage and the prayer as a mother.

~May these two people who have found each other continue in the ways of love, grace, kindness, forgiveness and fun.

~ May life treat them good, fair and plentiful but through life’s stuff that happens, may the teamwork get stronger and they continue to have each other’s back in words, action and prayers.

~ May their life be protected in their relationship, their health, their minds and finances

~ May they continue to look at each other with acceptance, love, innocence and may life bring them remembrances of the times love was first felt.

~  May they continue to support each other in their individuality and their dreams making them happen and looking back, knowing, their commitment carried them through.

~ May laughter be plentiful and fun times be had, may they be each other’s priority, safe zone, cheerleader and who they run to when a bad day comes.

~ My wish, hope, want and prayer is for them to love and be loved like God loves them and to experience life to the fullest for what they both need and want 🙂

That is all a mother could ask for…..

Let this be a motivation for all of us to say a prayer today for yourself, ones you love or reaching out to people you know need a touch today.

Now that’s motivation!

Happy Monday!

Food for Thought………

keep-calm-and-respond-39

Welcome Sunday night once again!  Yes, Monday is right around the corner and to be honest, I myself had to hold on real tight to my Momentous Monday thoughts!  So much to say and so much to whine about but you don’t want to hear my little issues I am sure 🙂

Sooooooo, I said to myself…”knock it off” and practice the very things I am saying for all of us to do together.

So here we are and what can be our thought of today and I came across one that is a pretty popular saying.  If this is the first time you are hearing it then let it be life changing.  If this is the 50th time you are hearing it, then I invite you to be with me and let’s look at our reactions to the things around us and what is happening in our life right now.

The phrase? …….drum roll please…..

“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it”

hmmmmmmm, food for thought huh?

Let it soak in today as I will and see what it means to us and in our life.  It really can be life changing if we start reacting and responding differently to our situations and life around us.

In fact, let’s just go one step further.  Responding is even different than reacting……

Ok, now that I wowed you and gave you this deep information to ponder 🙂 – when the situations arise on our Monday, let’s dive deep and see how we have the power to turn in around…… kind of like that turn the frown upside down 😦 🙂

Happy Sunday night into our Momentous Monday!

SHHHHH………..

Ok….I have an experiment for everyone.  I did it and it became real.  It isn’t the first time I did it and certainly won’t be the last because of the mere fact that every time I do it, it brings on insight and growth.

So, before we proceed, if you don’t want insight and growth and I do know people who have said “no thanks”, you might not want to do this.

Remember, if we are staying in the attitude of love, then every person has the ability to choose and we would love them through that choice.  It doesn’t mean that we condone or even agree with what people do and vice versa, may not agree with what I do, but love would still be present allowing for people to grow more as they desire.

First, before we get to the experiment, that last paragraph paralleled something in the Bible – judgement.

What I try to bring to my writing and I truly hope it comes across is that I, myself, am a believer in God, Jesus, the Cross, redemption and the fact that I believe in the Bible’s teachings.  I also will not argue, debate or “thoroughly discuss” as some have put it unless we want to get into a deep conversation about God’s love.

What I also try to bring to the table in my writings is I am not here to judge, nor do I want the job as it is way too burdensome and heavy for me to carry.  I try to give out scriptures for people to read, pray on, and ponder for themselves and if they want more understanding, my hope is that they ask God through prayer to shed light on the scriptures.

My relationship is with God, through Jesus, and I am not here to preach it, pound it, throw it or Bible beat anyone.  I am here to try, my very best, to live the Bible and its’ teachings, which by the way, is not always easy.

Now……….experiment time!!!!!  Who’s in?

Take 30 minutes or even 20 minutes if you can’t take 30 🙂 –

Sit in a room…..no TV, no cell phone, no one else, no radio, no music, no noise.  I know……. it just became real already in the world we live in!

Take a note pad and pen in your silent room.

Ready? Go!

What is on your mind?  The first 5 minutes or possibly 10, will be all the things racing through your head…..what you need to get done, what you forgot, how silly this experiment is……..all kinds of things will race through your mind………….yet, sit, wait and write down what ALSO is on your mind.  What is your heart trying to tell you.  What IS bothering you?  What images come?  Maybe it’s a word, phrase, paragraph or images.

To make this even more intense, take the leap of faith in prayer and ask to be shown something that needs to be addressed in your life, your heart, to come to a place of working through things.  Everyone has “things”.  Everyone has something that they could improve or need healing of some sort.  Sometimes, just sometimes, you get something much more out of it than you even expected.

This has been a very successful experiment with me countless times.  My mere desire was to share with you and hope you get just a little out of it, well, a lot of out it 🙂

Again, I will say it as a disclosure, if you don’t want to look deeper in your life where sometimes we all have to grow or heal, this experiment might not be for you.

I hope it is and you are touched deeply today.

Experiment on!

Truth!

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!

Kelly 🙂

 

Yes – There is a Plan

This was a Facebook post that I liked recently – why?  Because I agree with it 100% 🙂  — Believe me, there have been PLENTY of times I felt lost, alone and let me add – frustrated, confused and lots of other emotions as well wondering if God even knows what I am going through – kind of questioning- is He looking?  Does He know?  If we are going to be honest and straight forward – I believe everyone has felt that way one time in their life or another – and possibly more than once 🙂  —

I don’t push religion – what I will speak on is God and a personal relationship with Him.  I am not even attending the 4 walls of a church right at the moment but not knocking those who do.  I will step in at anytime and be just as comfortable as outside.  I believe we are the church.  Or should be.  Our actions – should show love and non judgment  and truth, if need to be spoken – be in love and non-judgment – as we work at this journey we are on called life. There is not anyone that is perfect.  I just try to get through the day being a better version than the day before and trying to spread the love I do receive from God who does love all.

The truth that hit me about this post was that He does know exactly where we are – what we are doing – how we are feeling – and He has a plan for us – a good plan – and He WANTS good things for us – for everyone.  Boy there is some Bible scriptures in just those statements and I will reference them at the end for you to look up if you want.  But in the end, it does hold true.

Sometimes we go off the beaten path because of what we think we want or what we think we know.  (I know I did 🙂  )  BUT He even gets you back on track if you want and He has done that for me too.

The Best News?  Even when I felt like Charlie Brown – and if you ever do too – God knows exactly where you are – and He does have a good plan for your life.  Keep praying and do not stop.  God meets you wherever you are 🙂

I hope you enjoy your day!

Have Hope/Keep Faith/Spread Love
