Desktop Inspiration

So I google alot, more then anyone I know. Last night I was working out and I decided to find some inspiration in the form of a picture. So who better to inspire me to get abs then Jillian Micheal's? So as I clicked on the right button she ended up on my desktop. I found inspiration. I know it sounds crazy but that's where I get inspired. It's not from DVDs of exercising or anything. But from just a picture. It's something that reminds me of why I'm running in place or doing a dance workout. Sometimes in the past I've used a pair of jeans, that I love. But can't wear in less I'm like five pounds smaller. Lately that hasn't been enough. So I need more. Since this year has started I need more to keep me going. I mean that's what happens sometimes in our "diet plans". We lose motivation and then just give up. So I encourage you to find your "picture" or your whatever that inspires you to push it into gear. So as I look at my desktop at my inspiration I plan to keep at it. My workout's will get tougher, and for that I have to thank Jillian Micheal's.

Duir on a mission

Spreading God's love one bible at a time. This is basically the greatest mission statement ever. McKenzie Duir may be just a young child of God, but she has major understanding of what God's love is. She wants nothing more then to share God's love and most of all his brilliant and loving word. So this young child of God has prayed hard about her new ministry .A ministry that allows others to receive bibles. So everyone who has the desire to get plunged into the word can. To know how McKenzie fully thinks you must first know she loves her Savior. Knowing her savior loves her also. She also knows he loves others. In Saying that she has begun this revolutionary idea, I say that because most kids don't intend to take on such a role. I hold high praise to this awesome young lady of God. God has already promised her many blessings and she in turn has blessed many and will continue to bless others. She has been quoted saying, “What I want to do with my life has nothing to do with a job. No matter what I do, I have to find a way to serve.... It fills me up like nothing else. The joy of helping someone or spreading love to someone is addictive. My mom says that helping people is what makes my heart sing. She’s right. It’s not worth getting out of bed in the morning if I’m not getting out of bed to help someone.” ......Wow folks, It warms my heart to hear her speak like this. I know she will do such an awesome job. If you want to know more, please visit her page on facebook. Her non-profit organization is called BIBLES FOR BUDDIES! Please check her out and if God leads you to help her out, I give you a blessed thank you in advance.

Ambitions on a Budget

If money grew on tree's folks I would be a published author right now. I would have my dream house and every small or big dream of mine would be happening just as I'm typing this all down. But hard truth is I'm twenty one years old, working at a job that has cut hours off like its nobodies business. It's taken me years to know and to define the truth of my dreams. I know exactly want I want and I see that I can do it. I'm determined to do it. But It's going to be on a budget. I don't have thousands of dollars and to be honest I have about five bucks in my bank. Five dollars and here I'm dreaming big. It's my greatest ambition to publish a book. That here on earth people will be so taken with my stories,that it will make them think. I sometimes wonder about god and his dreams. Does God have his budget? I think he does, but it's not about money for his part. It's about our journey. The journey becomes his type of budget. He lets us live our life a certain way everyday. He gives us opportunities to accomplish things. Then our journey moves along. Like my budget,when I save it moves along. God's budget is so important because it's his will for his vision for us to be accomplished. Just as its important for our own ambitions, or dreams to become a reality. It's important to not forget that whether your budgeting money or something else, remember God has budgeted your journey for you. Don't waste his "move along's".

Arizona Arizona

I spent three days in Tuscon, Arizona. It was a great place to visit not only because my sister lives there but because it's beautiful there. The weather was nice, it was cool and breezy. I was expecting to sweat half of my body weight off. Because it is the desert people, and you have to show some respect to the sun. The background of Tuscon, is very mellow colors. Like brown and a little hint of dark red. It's not like alot of trees or anything. But they have cactus. Which I just had to get a picture with because I felt the great need to do it I suppose. Let me talk about the mountains now. The mountains are breathtaking at every angle you stare at them. I got the chance to go to Mt. Lemmon which I got to hike a 350ft long path. My sister and I ventured off course. We took some great pictures too. But the mountains were amazing but the shops I visited were even better. Yes, I did say shops. I went to Fourth street avenue where there were so many amazing little shops. It was such a bohemian style vibe there. I felt very at peace there. So one would think it couldn't have gone better but it did. I got to visit a base.Because my sister is in the military I got to visit the air force base . My trip was short but it was great . I wish I could write down everything. But simply I just want to say it's one of the best places I've ever gotten to travel to. A great salute to Arizona.

Labels

Labels they are apart of our world whether we like them or not. Sometimes the labels are good, like these for instances. You can be labeled "Christian" or "Helper" and even "Hard-worker". Sometimes the labels are not good. We make ourselves sit in these boxes sometimes. We either make ourselves fit into these labels because that's how people see us. Or its expected of us to do it. Today I was thinking alot about labels, and how crushing it can be to be labeled a certain way for a long period of time in our lives. We can always grow, and evolve. That isn't the question at all. The question is how can we move away from being labeled? Can we at all? For instance I like to go against the grain. But I get labeled as one of those people who "Don't follow the crowd". I still get labeled even when I dislike labels. I ask myself do I stop going against the grain? NO, I don't want that. That's isn't the person I want to be. I ask God what he thinks. I believe people labeled him all the time. like "the messiah" or "the all mighty" and sometimes they called him a "liar" because he spoke against the priests who weren't living for the lord. Who made up things and labels to benefit themselves. I think the one thing we can do, is live our life the way God commands us to do. He is the one who knows our heart. He isnt into labeling people. He already knows he created us for a purpose, and yes, I suppose you can label us. We are "God's people". Thats a label I can live with .

P.J the Conqueror

The new year hasn't quite started with a bang yet. But as of tonight at midnight it will. I'm doing a twenty one day fast. Which will bring me closer to god, something I have wanted for a long time now. I also want to be physically healthy this year so I'm kick staring a new diet. I believe this time or lets says this year I will do what I say. I know millions of people create a new years resolution. Some where from number one to five there is something about losing weight on there. You might start off the year great. You lose a few pounds, and you get all happy. So you continue and one day you run across a piece of cake. All that self-control is dashing out the door and your diving for the calorie packed piece of cake. Then you either try again or give up. WHY? Why would you give up on yourself? I do not what that for myself. I'm so excited for my fast, and for my new diet. I will let y'all know how it goes, and I won't leave out the ups and downs. Maybe I will post pictures of my progress.

Love,

Young Hollywood

When young kids becomes actors their whole life becomes a huge spotlight. If they make one mistake the whole world knows about it. I think sometimes we forget their just kids. We see them act in movies and its as if we are there with them watching them grow up. Yet,we are just fans. Sometimes we are the harshest critic's out there. We see these child actors do their best at their job and they gain fame. But as they grow they start to become different. They try more things then they wouldn't have when they were kids. They become more outspoken,they struggle with the truth. That the world is watching them and waiting for a slip. Actresses like Lindsey and Miley, they were Disney channel stars and look at their lives now. They are grown and trying to figure out who they are. We are harsh and we crucify them for their mistakes. Or like Dakota fanning who has manged to stay humble. As people we want to think that these kids will remain the same. That they will be the way we want them to be. I'm not saying we should accept what their doing. But we should also look at ourselves. What mistakes have we made? Others have watched us too. We say we want these actors to be role models.Well are you a role model? We tell kids not to idolize actors. Because we want them to be well rounded. How about we stop blaming actors,and do what we can to change the standard. God is the only one who can judge anyone. How can we throw the first stone if we have been the first to sin, the first to hurt others with our words,and thoughts. Young Hollywood can be two things. Good and bad, lets not add to the bad. Lets lift these child actors up and wish them the best. May they find peace, and may we become good role models for others. Lets act as if were in the spotlight for once. What do you want others to see. Good or Bad?
