Lost My Vision......
Greetings People!
A couple months ago I posted about our "vision." A piece I got from Joel Osteen.
He talked about our vision...how we see ourselves. How we need to stay positive to move in a positive direction. It was a great lesson, I totally agreed, I got it. I vowed to get positive, be thankful, vision myself happy, healthy, thin, debt free, diet free, yada yada!
Well, as I was reading through my posts and came across that one, I realized how I had slipped back into the old whiner I often am. UGH!
Message to self: I am blessed, I am loved, I am healthy, I am smart, I am HIS child, I am forgiven.
I AM a Groovey Mom!
Okay, good, I needed that, have a great weekend- and remember-You are AWESOME!!!!

Earth's Final Moments
This is what I posted on my Common Sense Page today-and then realized this is what I want to say today as a Grooveymom as well.
I have been reading John Hagee's Earth's Final Moments.
As disturbing as it is...it also brings me peace and security knowing God's Word is true. With all the turmoil in the world, simply turning on the news can be one of the hardest things to do these days. Obamacare, nuclear war, Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, the Middle East, Egypt, terrorists, killings, riots, you know what I mean, the list goes on and on. These are truly turbulent times!
But here's the deal, the bible tell us all of this! As Christians why are we surprised when we hear this news? I know one reason, amidst all of this turmoil, HE gives us HOPE. He tells us what is to come, but also says no one will know the exact time of His return. HE will come like a thief in the night. And while we are here on earth, we are to love, work, live our lives as Christ would, but know that HE will return!
So, how do we get through all these scary times? Faith. Keep your faith. Keep your focus on HIM. And know all things to come are in HIS hands.
The last line of this book (I recommend you all read it) says "Rejoice and be exceedingly glad-the best is yet to be." Amen! :)

TEN THINGS GOD WON'T ASK ON THAT DAY.
1.... God won't ask what kind of car you drove. He'll ask how many people you drove who didn't have transportation..
2.... God won't ask the square footage of your house, He'll ask how many people you welcomed into your home.
3.... God won't ask about the clothes you had in your closet, He'll ask how many you helped to clothe.
4... God won't ask what your highest salary was. He'll ask if you compromised your character to obtain it.
5.... God won't ask what your job title was. He'll ask if you performed your job to the best of your ability.
6... God won't ask how many friends you had. He'll ask how many people to whom you were a friend.
7.... God won't ask in what neighborhood you lived, He'll ask how you treated your neighbors.
8.... God won't ask about the color of your skin, He'll ask about the content of your character.
9.... God won't ask why it took you so long to seek Salvation. He'll lovingly take you to your mansion in heaven, and not to the gates of Hell.
10.... God won't have to ask how many people you forwarded this to, He already knows your decision.

What's Your Vision?
I learned some words of great wisdom this morning watching Joel Osteen. I have only watched his Sunday morning sermon a few times and just happened across it today. Or did I really just happen to come across it? His message was clear:
If your vision is negative you will move in a negative direction.
If your vision is positive you will move in a positive direction.
That's it, it's as easy as that.
We need to visualize ourselves happy, healthy, thin, out of debt, on the right track to retirement, in a healthy relationship, married, pregnant, beautiful... whatever it is that you are depressed or negative about, change how you are looking at yourself.
Small vision=small life. Look through the eyes of faith and BELIEVE. See yourself blessed. Enlarge your vision, do it with God. "Don't let your vision be limited by your environment!"
He gave an example about a picture frame, he told a lady to take an empty picture fame and look at it everyday. He told her to visualize herself in that frame as how she wants to see herself. Who she wants to be. She wanted to be married and in a happy relationship. A couple years later she came to one of his sermons and introduced him to her new husband! She had a vision and with faith she reached that vision.
I have decided to change my vision! I sometimes get caught up in "the negative" and don't even realize it, so no more! I'm getting out that empty frame and everyday I will see a beautiful, skinny, happy, healthy, loved girl who has more blessings than she could ever count! Thanks Joel....:) I needed that!
