Getting My Priorities in Order

Where have I been? Hmmm, living my life I guess. I have not posted in almost a week when it is my goal to try and post something on a daily basis. Here is the thing with me: when I don't post, I do not read the Bible. I may catch a verse here or there but I definitely do not get into the word like I should or like I want to.

What has been keeping me from my daily time with God? Mind you, it is time that I enjoy, and time that makes me feel so much better about everything around me. So why have I been so neglectful? I get caught up in living in the world. That is the most honest answer I can give. I have allowed other things to precede God. What could be more important than communicating with the one being who provides everything that I need anyway?

There is nothing more important than God, and in my head I know that. However, somehow I get caught up and He takes a back seat to everything else in my life. What! Shouldn't He be driving?

I know I am not the only one with this problem. My priorities are all screwed up and I need to get them straight. Honestly, I don't want to be on a Jesus diet where I start off strong, and the next thing you know, I am eating a gallon of ice cream in the middle of the night.

So, for those of us having a little trouble with our priorities as far as God is concerned, here is a key verse that should shake some sense into us (of course I am included).

And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added onto you. ~Luke 12:29-31 KJV

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

Bust Off That Gut With the Insanity Workout By Carl Barton It can be quite the dizzying experience trying to find the right workout regimen when a person decides to get back into shape. In many cases, it takes a high level of commitment to stay on track with whatever kind physical of activity and/or diet that is chosen. For people who truly desire results and have a high motor, the Insanity Workout could be the right option for a variety of reasons. The Insanity Workout is a high energy workout routine that works on the interval training method. The interval method stresses a period of high activity followed by a period of low activity.
