Overcoming Obstacles

What do you tell yourself when you struggle? Do you remind yourself that things will improve if you give it time or do you get lost in the moment and find yourself feeling shattered, worn out and potentially on the verge of quitting? I have done both. And depending on the situation been on the verge of quitting something because I was super stressed. However one thing I have learned is that quitting achieves nothing but staying where you are at. You don't move forward or go backward. You just sit idle until you decide to pull it together and push on. I think the enemy takes advantage of those situations as well and uses that negative self speak against us,making us feel like what we are doing isn't worth it. Thankfully Jesus is there to pick up the pieces and pull us together so we can choose to keep pushing forward again. He definitely sees a stronger person in me then I do most days. Gotta LOVE Him for always believing in us!

Guilt FREE Desert

Okay, so I'll admit that I have a bit of a sweet tooth. What I like about the 21 Day Fix program is that I can still live like a normal person and have a little desert with out having to stress. So the other night I came up with this yummy recipe: ~1-2 nectarines (depends on the size of the fruit and if your feeding family too) = 1 PURPLE container ~2-3 Shakes of Cinnamon ~Handful of almonds or pecans = 1 BLUE container ~1 YELLOW container full of Organic Oat and Honey Cereal (I actually didn't need to use the entire container) 1.Slice apricots and place on foil. 2. Sprinkle with Cinnamon and wrap up the foil gently. 3. Place in 350° oven for 15-20 min. 4. Roast nuts in a pan for a few min on low-med low heat. 5. Place baked apricots on a plate and top with a little cereal and nuts. You can drizzle a little juice let from the foil over the whole thing to kick up some sweetness, but it s not necessary.

Love this! It really is true. It's not always easy to shift our perspective when we're in the thick of it! Life can be HARD and it's easy to get caught up in fear, anger and staring at all the problems we face. But, by changing the way we think-- for the better  😄 ! It's worth the challenge we face in the process to make that shift happen. Prayer always helps and Jesus is always listening! Whether you think He is or not, I assure you He's listening and answers are coming.  ❤  "And this is the boldness that we have in Him, that if we ask whatever according to His desire, He hears us." 1 John 5:14 Listening to those who've been through a tough spot and come out the other side gives hope. Listening to audible or reading books on positive motivation is encouraging. Surrounding yourself with other encouraging, happy and excited people helps too! The main thing I'm learning from going through personal struggles is to keep pursuing having...
