Welcome to my blog: I intend to share heartfelt writing about anything that comes to mind. |
 PROMPTS FOR JUNE 2021: 62 Prompts ~ Yes a couple extra! 1. What is your biggest concern right now? I don't know what has gotten into me lately, but I am having a very hard time staying motivated. I have gotten discouraged in some areas. I am trying to fight this. My health issues have certainly complicated things. 2. Do you think you are a positive or negative person? I like to think I am a positive person. I try to focus on the positive anyway. 3. What are your best qualities? Writing, my smile, kindness, Love for God 3. Could you be a better friend? Maybe, I always try to do my best though. 4. Could you be a better partner/wife/husband/mother/father/daughter or Son? I will put it this way. I am a human being. I make mistakes and fail a lot, all the time. I do the best I can, but I am sure there is always room for improvement. 6. Write about your top five personal strengths. This is a good question. I hadn’t really thought about it. I guess my ability to smile through difficulty is a strength. Let me think. What else? 🤔 I am determined and strong-willed. I avoid confrontation, but will definitely stand up for what I believe in. My faith in God is probably my greatest strength. God is where my strength comes from. I am good at communication. 7. What things change your mood from positive to negative? I would rather talk about what changes my mood from negative to positive. 😉 I guess that is for another question though. I am learning to hate sin and evil. When I see injustice done and perversion, it is hard for me to keep quiet about it. It boils my blood especially when I know it is hurting someone I know and care about. 8. Make a list of 10 affirmations that will lift your mood. -I am making progress, a little every day. -All of my needs are provided by the most high God because I belong to him. -No one can be against me because my God is for me. -All things work together for good. -I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength. -The joy of the Lord is my strength. I will put on the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness. -My hope is in God. He is my everything. -God’s strength is made perfect in my weakness. -I am more than a conquerer because the Bible says so. -Goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life. 9. Do you have a morning routine? Can it be improved? I sort of have a morning routine. It could definitely be improved. I have to take a thyroid pill, so I get it swallowed. I go to the restroom, and take the dog out. I give my roommate her medicine and help her set up her tablet and stuff. Then I come back into my room, set up my tablet, take electronics that have been charging overnight off of chargers. For 30 minutes to an hour, I usually check emails and notifications while trying to fully get awake. Then I fix breakfast for my roommate and I. We eat breakfast and have more medicine we have to take after that. So I get mine and her pills together so we can take them. After we take our pills, then it varies from there from day to day depending on what has to be done for that day. 10. How are you feeling today? (June 18th) Today, like most days, I feel tired. At my leg muscles quit spasming and are not hurting like they were for the last couple of days. That was no fun. 11. What is something you want to achieve throughout this year? I would like to sell more of my craft items, but I need to stop being so passive about it. I need to make more Facebook posts about them among other things. 12. Make plans for Spring. I am just now getting ready for Summer 2021. Spring 2022 is to far ahead yet for me to make plans at the moment. 13. What are your goals for February? This is a bit too far ahead for me. I plan to live one day at a time and hope for the best at this point in my life. 14. Write about your dream Valentine’s Day date, you can try some Valentine doodles too. The next Valentine's Day is too far away right now. At this point, I don't know what that part of my future holds. 15. Have actionable steps for your big year goals. I have never been one to be very good at this. Life is so unpredictable.This year I have struggling with health issues. It has been hard to make plans because of my health issues. My main thing I am doing right now is trying to figure out what is going on in my body and how to live with it. I hope that if I get a proper diagnosis, that some treatment can be received and I will feel better in the end. My goal this year has been to just try to get better. 16. Make a spring cleaning plan to declutter your life. I work on this a little at a time all through the year. I have never been one to be into the spring cleaning thing. 17. Do you have all the important dates and birthdays in your journal? No, I don't. I don't have that many to remember. Facebook reminds me of all the rest. 18. Make a plan for your dream garden. I think it would have cucumbers and tomatoes. If I planted squash, I would have to wear gloves while touching the plant. It is strange, I can eat it with no issues. However, the leaves make my skin kind of blister. What else can I “dream” up? If I am going to dream, let's go big. I could have strawberries, blueberries, and grapes. I could have some potatoes. Why not add a sprinkler system to water the garden for me. Then we could have shade over a part of the garden for the more finicky plants that don't like as much sun. While we are at it, we will add some herbs. Oh, and we can not forget scallions and garlic. We can add some floral plants on the other end, especially roses because I love those. We will put a water fountain in the middle with some goldfish swimming in the water. Let's have a corner with a couple of large trees for shade with a bench in between to sit and take it all in. On second thought why not have an outdoor swing instead of the bench? That could be a peaceful place to retreat when life got too hectic. 19. What summer plans do you have? I hope to go swimming at least once a week while I can in the apartments pool. I will limit my time in the sun so I don't burn. I hope to get some great nature pictures. Maybe I can go on a nature walk somewhere. 20. Write the perfect way to spend Easter. Since it is a Sunday, the perfect way to spend Easter is in church. 21. How would you make a rainy day amazing? Open the blinds and watch it rain. Try to accomplish as many in door tasks as I can. 22. What is a challenge you would like to overcome? As stated above, I would like to overcome my health issues. As they say, I am much to young to feel this old. 23. Plan all the holidays you celebrate. I don't honestly celebrate holidays too much anymore since my parents passed away. Right now, I try to just live one day at a time. 24. How are you progressing with your year goals? I have had blood tests done, seen the doctor, and will have insurance July 1st. So I think that is good progress right now. 25. Name a fear you would like to overcome. My fear of insects with stingers. I am allergic to insect bites. You let a bee land on me, and it is all I can do not to freak smooth out. 26. What are you grateful for in your life? How can I not be grateful for anything? I am grateful for everything. Life is a gift from God. 27. What is your favorite spring/summer activity? Going on walks to take photos of nature. 28. What 5 things are you grateful for this week? Jesus Christ, the Bible, my prayer time, friends, and family 29. Name the one thing you are most grateful for in your life at this moment. Jesus Christ 30. Write about 5 amazing childhood memories you are grateful for. My backyard tree swing provided a lot of great memories. One was my dad's mother pushing me in the swing while singing Swing Low Sweet Chariot to me. Another sweet memory with the same grandmother, is going out on the front porch of my parents house and watching the sun set with her. There was my 11th birthday when my mom surprised me with a canopy bed that I had wanted. One time when we went to the zoo, I had asked an elephant to dance for me and it did. The day I came home from summer camp and realized my parents had gotten me a puppy was a pretty special day. I think the puppy and I wore each other out playing. Lol I named him Benjamin and we called him benji for short. He was a chow and German Shepherd mix. He was beautiful. He had the chow’s thick hair. It was a strawberry blond color. His face was the shape of the German Shepherd's. 31. Which people in your life are you most grateful for. My roommate, my neighbor, LMs❤️BrewinMagic   , a certain friend of my that I won’t mention for personal reasons, and my parents.32. Write about something that made you smile today. My dog makes me smile all the time. 33. When were you last surprised? I honestly don't remember right off the top of my head when I was last surprised. Life is full of surprises if you just pay attention. I am always being surprised. I was surprised when my elderly neighbor fell in front of my door. I was surprised when her dog got out and came to my door without her. I was surprised when a male cat now suddenly has a kitten around. I was surprised when all I could see was a cat’s tail hanging from the grill of our vehicle. I was surprised to see an owl at 1 am in the tree by my window. I have had many surprises in life, some are good and others not so much. 34. What is the most exhilarating thing that has happened to you this year? Getting approved for health insurance. If I can get life to actually cooperate with me, I would be most exillerated if I could ever get my driver's license as planned. It seems like something always happens to prevent it. Have I been cursed? What is going on here? 35. Name a challenge you have overcome and how it helped you to grow. I think just understanding and accepting myself for who I am has been a challenge for me. I was the only daughter of a preacher. Both my parents had low self-esteem, and that was passed on to me. I think it is obvious how that helped me grow. 😊 36. How can you show gratitude more? I don't know how I can show anymore gratitude. I always try to remember to say thank you.

By making plans to do it and then keeping those plans. 43. What is your favorite food? Pasta 44. List your fitness and health goals. Get on the right diet for me as soon as I figure out what that is. As soon, as my insurance kicks in, get some tests done I have been putting off do to not having the money for them. 45. Are you feeling stressed? Am I alive? Lol To be alive is to experience stress sometimes. I have a lot of that in my life. Sometimes I have more than others. 46. Keep a mood or habit tracker to help understand your mental health. I may do something like this next month. It is a good idea. I don't as of right now. 47. Think about what triggers your stress, emotions, poor eating habits. I rather think on the good stuff and keep it positive. Lol stress is a trigger, depression and anger. 48. What is a bad habit you would like to change?

 Take UP Your Cross Prompt: James 5:13-16 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. I feel the Lotd prompting me to focus on healing for a bit. Over the next few days this is what I intend to base the prompts on. What are your thoughts about healing? There are some doctrines that teach healing is a “sign” gift. It was used by the Holy Spirit to validate the disciples and apostles. They believe in praying for health and healing, but don't believe in praying for instant healing. Others believe in holding healing services and healing ministries. I have heard several different views on the subject. Let's discuss it and see what the Bible has to say about it. Also, what are your thoughts on this passage? Answer: My personal thoughts on the subject are why even bother asking God for healing if you don't believe in it? How many times did Jesus tell the people he healed that it was their faith that made them whole? I believe that it is possible for God to heal instantly, but sometimes he allows us to suffer certain things to grow us and teach us or to show his glory in us. What I struggle with is knowing if and when it is truly God's will to heal us. If I know God wants us to be whole and without blemish, why do I struggle with this? One reason is because I know that while man looks on the outward appearance, God looks on the heart. He isn't just interested in healing our physical bodies, but our soul and spirit too. The soul’s healing is more important than physical healing, so that is of utmost priority. The physical body is temporary. The soul is eternal. Sometimes illness can be the physical result of sin. In this passage above it talks about confessing our faults to one another and praying for each other so we can be healed. We should definitely pray for one another. God may hear our prayers for others and heal them while at the same time forgiving their sins. God is full of mercy and forgiveness. This is his very nature.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is the link to the group I do these Scripture writings with on Facebook if anyone else is interested in doing so also. https://www.facebook.com/groups/dailyscripturewritingplan/?ref=share Scripture writing - 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 Scripture: 23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. 24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another's wealth. Observations: Verse 23- All things are lawful, but it doesn't always benefit yourself or other people. It could in fact be destructive. Verse 24- we are to seek to help others in stead of always seeking our own gain. Application: Put others before yourself. Prayer: Dear God, Help me to always remember to put you and others before myself. I must seek your glory and interests first, and in doing so, you will add everything else to me. Thank you for your precious promises. In Jesus’s name, Amen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: Is there a difference between joy and happiness? I think joy is a level up from happiness. When I think of being happy, happiness, it is more of a contentment. Joy, or being joyful, is more of a stronger feeling. Joy is happiness, but it is a happiness on steroids. It is excitement, a celebration. Well, that's my opinion for what it is worth anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Captain Kirk and found this planet: Elfin Dragon - contest hunting (264) Read this item:
Write about this poem in your Blog entry today. I am realizing how much our sin truly does effect the next 3 or 4 generations. In my case, this is the type of relationship I had wanted with my parents. This is not the type of relationship I had with them. Quite recently, God revealed to me that some of the things I have suffered are a result of my parents’ and grandparents’ sins. For an example, my Dad’s dad was an alcoholic. This effected my dad mentally and emotionally. As a result, I also suffered abuse. It doesn't make the abusive actions right, but it allows me to see the bigger picture and be more understanding of the situation. This also allows me to confess the sins of the previous generations to God, and ask forgiveness. Part of true repentance is also accepting God's judgement and punishment. Believe it or not, this actually helps in the healing process. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  Day 9120: June 2, 2021 Prompt: What do you think about writing prompt? What type of prompts do you like? What type of prompts do you dislike? I am not a huge fan of the prompts that have you use certain words. I tend to like general questions the best. I like the open-ended prompts that allow me more freedom with my words.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scripture writing - Colossians 3:12-14 Scripture: 12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; 13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. 14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. Observations: Verse 12-We are to be merciful, humble, kind, meek, and longsuffering. Verse 13-We are also to forgive one another as Christ forgave us. Verse 14-We are to love one another as Christ loves us. Application: We are to love one another as Christ loves us. Prayer: Dear God, Help us to be mindful to love one another the way you love us. Help us to have the sacrificial love of Christ for one another. Help us to be quick to forgive. In Jesus’s name, Amen |
