Day 3 of the 21 Days: Jesus Already Walked Our Path

I am not going to front, I feel like it has been 30 days instead of just three. When I think that I have 18 days left, it just seems so much. Doubt creeps into my mind that I won't be able to finish or continue. That doubt is just how the negative thoughts start to take over. I have to think positive and know that I will not only get through these 21 days with ease but also come out of it a refreshed person.

For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who was tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV) ~Hebrews 4:15-16

I guess the thing we are to focus on is that Jesus knows what we go through. He was here; he lived our life. He is not unaware. The only difference is that he was perfect and without sin. We should be realize that through Jesus we are perfect and without sin. Because of his sacrifice we have been made whole. Our debt is already paid so there is nothing that we can go through that will change that. However, we should endeavor to be more like Him with earnest hearts and part of that is being confident that through God we can overcome anything. Through constant faithfulness there is nothing that we cannot achieve or overcome. He knows that we will fall and has cleansed us even before we make a move, but we have a role. We must got to Him for forgiveness and with faithfulness.

Prayer: God help me to be more like you with strength and conviction. Give me the power to fend off worldly temptations and negative thoughts.

Do Something Different

Do something different. Shake your life up a bit. Our brains are funny little 3 pound masses that can take us for a loop and we are still learning so much about it. As much as I enjoy having a routine in my life because it gives me the illusion of having control, variety is also key for cognitive health. Soomi Lee, PhD, assistant professor in the USF College of Behavior and Community Sciences reports "findings suggest that active and engaged lifestyles with diverse and regular activities are essential for our cognitive health." I am not a regular baker but I wanted to do something different. I have not baked in quite some time and I probably won't even eat all the cake but it was a fun and different activity to do. So even if you do not do something drastic. Shaking things up even a little bit can help change the trajectory of your thought, attitude and day.  Article Source:  Variety and consistency are essential to keep the mind health My related Tiktok below @wandatob

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo

Redirect Your Focus away from Lizzo Scroll down to listen to the podcast here Recently a comedian has been under fire for making hurtful comments toward the artist Lizzo about her weight. Aries Spears in an attempt to be funny mocks Lizzo about her weight and her looks. He also goes on to say that he can get away with being a big dude and women cannot. He then attempts to pivot in a spectacular show of hypocrisy that instead of supporting her expressions of confidence women should be pointing out potential health issues linked with obesity. Sir! What are you doing? I really wanted to take this opportunity to point out that we as a people, as a nation should be less focused on individuals and more on the industry that’s putting crappy overprocessed foods on the shelves. They are appealing to our need for convenience. They are using science and psychology to influence us to buy these crappy foods. And let's face it, who doesn’t love a good sweet or salty snack or fast food that we ca
