A New Day

-

 Welcome! You have made it to see a new day! I'm glad you're here 😊. A new day holds new opportunities, new experiences, new connections, and new memories 💖. When something is new, it's never been seen and it's original. We should be grateful when we get to experience a new day! It's a day we have never seen before and a day we will never see again when it's over. I'm learning more and more of the value of a new day and not to take it for granted. Everyone does not make it to see a new day. I'm learning more and more to cherish the day and the people in my life in that day. Each new day allows us to learn something new, improve, grow, make memories with those we love, and enjoy life 😊. I do my best to focus on progress. However, I will be honest. There's a perfectionist in me! Some of you may can relate to that 😉. The perfectionist definitely rises up a lot. Even in that, I remind myself to do the best I can and look how far I've come. Each new day gives you a new opportunity to make new memories. I have shared this in previous blog posts, but I love to take pictures 💖! Every memory does have not have to be captured with a camera, but we should capture the good memories with our heart. Good memories help us in the tough times and when we are missing loved ones who we made those memories with. Every day will not go smoothly, but it will be okay! There will be mistakes and obstacles along the way, but it will be okay! I know it doesn't always feel like it, but it will be. You see, a new day also offers something else that hasn't been mentioned yet. A new day offers a fresh start 🙏! Each new day gives us a new opportunity to be at a better place than we were the day before. It may be actions, but it also could be in our thoughts and changing the way we look at a situation. Changing our perspective can make a difference! I'm so thankful for fresh starts 😊! As a teacher, I like to share with my students that each day is a fresh start in my classroom. Regardless of the struggles and happenings from the day before, a new day is a chance to learn the lessons and make a change to do better. This applies to the students and I alike. A Scripture that is one of my favorites and that I keep close to my heart is Psalm 118:24. It says, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Let's remain thankful for each new day God has blessed us to see 👏! Don't forget to cherish the good memories and take the lessons from the difficult memories. We can know that God's got us, no matter what happens throughout our day. Let's greet each new day ready to embrace the new. So, what do you say? Hello new day 💖!! Hello new opportunities 💖!!

The Gift of Time

-
 Twenty four hours. That's how much time we get in one day. We all get the same amount of time. Sometimes (perhaps a lot of time!), it doesn't feel like we have that much time in a day. It seems like we blink and we wonder where the time went. I have learned over time to appreciate and cherish the time I have 😊. Each new day I live to see is a new 24 hours to live and make the best of it. I have learned not to take the time I have for granted. I've learned not to take people or any opportunity I'm given for granted. I've learned the importance of making time for God, myself and others. When I start my day with God in the Word and prayer, I navigate my day and time in it much better than when I don't 🙏. Then, throughout my day, I have to make sure I'm talking to God, so he can lead me in the right way. I'm always looking at my days and constantly working on how to make the best use of my time. Distractions do happen, but then I have to get back on track...

You're Not Alone

-
 That statement alone is powerful! At some point in our lives, we may have felt like we were all by ourselves and no one else could relate to what we were going through. We may have even felt like no one else cared, and we couldn't share with anyone what we were going through. If you have felt any of the above, at any given point of time, you are not alone! I have felt all of these before. Today, I want to reassure you that you are not alone 💖. I know it may look and feel that way, but you're not. Everyone's life story is different. However, I guarantee if you were to take a closer look at our stories, you would find some common themes. At some point, we all have or will experience rejection, failure, loss of something or someone, frustration, disappointment, hurt, feeling different, and not knowing what to do in making a tough decision. While the situations may come in different forms, many of the same themes are interwoven throughout them. Our story is important and shou...

Live Your Best Life

-
 I am so grateful for the gift of life! If we can't find nothing else to be thankful for, we can be thankful for the life God has given us 😊. I have learned not to take my life for granted, nor the people God has placed in my life for granted. We only get one life to live, and we should live it well. We don't know when it will be a last chance to do something or say something to someone. We don't know when it will be the last time we see someone, whether that be at work, store, school, church, community, family or friends. We don't know when a day will be our last day. That's why it's so important to live out today. I'm reminded of Matthew 6:34 in the Bible that says, "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." I want to live my life well each day. I don't want to just go through motions and routines, but I want to make sure I'm living my best life 😊💖. When we loo...
