My nuggets from today:
vs 17 She sets about her work vigorously. TNIV
vs 26 She speaks with wisdom, and faithful instrution is on her tongue. TNIV
I know that these two verses spoke to me on Day 1 & Day 2...bu I read in a different translation and they spoke to me, yet again.

song ~ no matter what
No Matter What
by Kerrie Roberts
I’m running back to Your promises
one more time
Lord that’s all I can hold on to
I gotta say this has taken me
by surprise,
but nothing surprises You
Before a heartache
can ever touch my life
It has to go through Your hands
And even though I
keep asking why,
I keep asking why
No matter what,
I’m gonna love You
No matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not, I’ll trust You
no matter what,
no matter what
When I’m stuck and there’s nothing else
by myself
I’m just sitting in silence
There’s no way I can make it
without Your help,
I won’t even try it
I know You have Your reasons
for everything
so I will keep believing
whatever I might be feeling,
God You are my hope
and You will be my strength
No matter what,
I’m gonna love You
No matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not,
I’ll trust You
no matter what,
no matter what
Anything I don’t have
You can give it to me,
but it’s OK if You don’t
I’m not here for those things
The touch of Your love is enough on its own
No matter what
I still love You
and I’m gonna need You
No matter what
I’m gonna love You,
no matter what
I’m gonna need You
I know that You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, if not,
I’ll trust You
I know You can find a way to keep me from the pain
But if not, but if not,
I’ll trust You

Day 3 - Proberbs 31 Challenge
10 Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels. 11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for that she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates. [Gods Word translation]

17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy.
25 She dresses with strength and nobility.

Day 2 - Proberbs 31 Challenge
10 A truly good wife is the most precious treasure a man can find! 11 Her husband depends on her, and she never lets him down. 12 She is good to him every day of her life, 13 and with her own hands she gladly makes clothes. 14 She is like a sailing ship that brings food from across the sea. 15 She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and for her servants. 16 She knows how to buy land and how to plant a vineyard, 17 and she always works hard. 18 She knows when to buy or sell, and she stays busy until late at night. 19 She spins her own cloth, 20 and she helps the poor and the needy. 21 Her family has warm clothing, and so she doesn't worry when it snows. 22 She does her own sewing, and everything she wears is beautiful. 23 Her husband is a well-known and respected leader in the city. 24 She makes clothes to sell to the shop owners. 25 She is strong and graceful, as well as cheerful about the future. 26 Her words are sensible, and her advice is thoughtful. 27 She takes good care of her family and is never lazy. 28 Her children praise her, and with great pride her husband says, 29 "There are many good women, but you are the best!" 30 Charm can be deceiving, and beauty fades away, but a woman who honors the LORD deserves to be praised. 31 Show her respect - praise her in public for what she has done. [Contemporary English Version]

vs 25 She is cheerful about the future.
vs 26 Her advice is thoughtful.

verse to reflect on...
Life can be uncomfortable. Sometimes hard work goes unrewarded. Work hard anyway. Taking the narrow path is difficult. Take it anyway. Going against the crowd takes courage. Go anyway. Standing up for what you believe in can be lonely. Stand up anyway. Jesus has stood where you stand, and He stands with you now. He will never ask you to do anything He hasn't done Himself.
So if you are suffering according to God's will, keep on doing what is right, and trust yourself to the God who made you, for He will never fail you ~ 1 Peter 4:19

Don't Just Count Your Years, Make Your Years Count -Ernest Meyers
What matters most in life is often viewed as peripheral to the things that we usually focus on. Passion takes a backseat to production, wellness to working, and balance to busyness. The old adage that "life is not a dress rehearsal" is so true, and yet we act in the contrary by putting off what is truely important or indulging in things that are not. On your birthday, stop focusing on your age and start meditating on your life at this exact moment. How can you make it better? During the next year, reshuffle your priorites. Spend more time with family and friends, take care of your body and health by eating well and exercising regularly, and offer to help others in need. Discover what matters most to you, and make your daily life a true reflection of those ideas, beliefs, and attitudes.

Quotes
What you and I might rate as an absolute disaster, God may rate as a pimple-level problem that will pass. He views your life the way you view a movie after you've read the book. When something bad happens, you feel the air sucked out of the theater. Everyone else gasps at the crisis on the screen. Not you. Why? You've read the book. You know how the good guy gets out of the tight spot. God views your life with the same confidence. He's not only read your story...he wrote it.

verse to reflect on...
When I was doing my garage sale yesterday, Larry was on his way out to the meetings and he
asked us (Martha, Cynthia and I) if we were ready for something to think about/on for the day. We said sure! He started, Worry...(Martha is sitting on my right and Cynthia on my left), they both turned and looked at me - we had just been discussing worries, stress and my comment on needing more patience and more faith...Larry says, "what?" so I had to fill him in, his topic was right in line with our conversation already for the day.
Worry is making your problems bigger than God's promises. Faith is putting it all in God's hands. -Larry Balderson
He commented on Psalms 46:1, 10...Be Still means to "be at rest, lay your hands down".

another garage sale!
So, if you remember, I did a garage sale two weeks ago. Everyone donated their goods to my cause in the end of it and all this was setup Friday & Saturday for another sale at Bev's house. I did the sale along with Bev, Martha and Cynthia. It was very slow...not lots of customers, but in spite of all that, we really did well! We did $925 of which I made $161 (after spending $12.75)! So between my last sale, the things I have sold betwee on Craigs List, and then this weekend's sale, I have met my goal to make enough to pay my house payment! YAH!!! I contemplated doing another sale, but decided I am done with this for the remainder of this year. We all donated all the leftover stuff to Milka as she does flea market sales.
I want to thank everyone for their donated items and the Lord for knowing my need and seeing to it that I met it!

song ~ shadow of your cross
Shadow of Your Cross
Joel Engle
Lamb of God, Son of man how you suffered how You bled
With a crown of thorns pressed upon Your head
You chose the road of pain
You walked the hill of all my shame, all my shame
In the shadow of Your cross, I will live for all my days
How could I forget the price You paid
In the shelter of Your love I will give You all my praise
In the shadow of Your cross I will stay
Man of sorrows crucified pure and holy sacrifice
As the hammer hit the nail You offered up Your life
You gave up heaven for Your own
You took our punishment alone
You were so alone
In the shadow of Your cross, I will live for all my days
How could I forget the price You paid
In the shelter of Your love I will give You all my praise
In the shadow of Your cross I will stay
O King of Majesty
Forever I will sing
Of the gift You gave to me
You game to me
In the shadow of Your cross, I will live for all my days
How could I forget the price You paid
In the shelter of Your love I will give You all my praise
In the shadow of Your cross I will stay
In the shadow of Your cross, I will live for all my days
I will live I will live for you
How could I forget the price You paid
In the shelter of Your love I will give You all my praise
In the shadow of Your cross I will stay

Man of Sorrows, oh Lamb of God, I will stay

which way on this journey???
Today, I am having one of those days. You know, one when you ask lots of questions that you don't have the answer to? Yup...the ones that you wish you had that would give you a clue about your journey???
I took some time out this evening before meeting one of my employees at the clinic and did some emails...requesting that you pray for me. I am now taking a moment to post my thoughts here in my online journal for you...my online friends...to be able to pray also and know what is going on in my head right now too.
I am having a hard time right now keeping my focus and believing God has a plan and will show me what I am to be doing with regards to work and creating a means of income for me...the question that I can't seem to answer is: am I to just get a job or will I get more clients? I landed a client a month ago, but to date they have used me minimally for consulting. The weeks are starting to stack up since I lost my job. The anxiety is starting to weigh in and the thought of how to make this decision is beginning to frustrate me. If you can take a minute and ask the Lord to help me trust Him...help me to have more faith & believe that He truely does have a plan for my life...and ask him to show me what I need to be doing, I would appreciate it. I don't doubt that some of you have been, but right now, I seem to be struggling to maintain a good outlook with some recent turn of events.
I wish I could say that I was taking the time to get things caught up at home and enjoy the break from "work", but I haven't. I feel pressure to move to the next step and get money coming in.
And today, I simplywant wish I knew the answers to my journey.
I don't want to end this post without Thanking You for your Friendship, Love and Support!

give, love, do more = enjoy more
I watched this great video about giving, loving and doing more means you can enjoy more...and I want to share it with you. Here are my take-aways:
We complain. We cut corners. We put ourself first. How did we loose focus? Forget what life's about?
It takes service, contribution, attitude, action. Connect with each other.
Listen.
Watch.
Ask.
It's about people, relationships, & connections.
Be thankful for challenges...Be thankful for opportunities.
Complain less.
The small things have the biggest impact.
Have: Purpose. Committment. Respect.
Exceptional results come from exceptional effort.
Give no excuses.
Give, love, do more and you will enjoy more.

Get Motivated Seminar 2010
I attended the Get Motivated Seminar today with one of my employees. I will recap for you my take-aways and nuggets:
Steve Forbes
Do things outside the box - even when you don't know how it will turn out. Do things differently. Take some risks. Often times success comes from those who utilize the services already in existence. The little things are what makes the difference (i.e. coffee lids - one size fits all, vs sodapop lids - multiple sizes). Be ready for serendipity. Do things differently...like everyday things. Make it simple. Free enterprize with sensible rules. Information without implementation is useless.
General Colin Powell
You have to go thru transitions in life. Technology is changing life, how we learn, and how we do business. It doesn't matter where you start in life...it's where you end up! Book: The Greatest Generation. Go thru life looking through the windshield not the rearview mirror & sideview mirrors. Give people a future and a hope. Do not be afraid. Give them goals, a mission and a purpose...with passion. Leaders must show intensity and be inspired. Are you living the values you have in life? Take care of, equip and train "your troops" (employees). 186miles per a second = speed of lightening. The leader must do all this. Recognize your troops....they will glow all day. We all have anxiety's, fears, ambitions, goals, etc. The leader will be in touch with all in the organization. Don't hesitate to do what you need to do. Trust is the essence of ALL leadership. Be generous and open.
Laura Bush
We all have our own stories. Books not only move people but define and encourage us on our journey. It is the job of all of us to stand up and make a difference.
Krish Dhanam
If you're happy, acknowledge your face. Stand tall. Have geniune leadership. Restore relationships. Amicable partnerships. You have to have belief in your soul. Equality or Fairness? Complete ownership. "I wish I had" or "I am glad I did". Sometimes before you speed up, you must slow down. Effective stewardship. Give more than you have. You have to have something to give to do so. Leave more than you take. Offer praise to those loved. Whose applause matters? Book: The American Dream from Indian Times. We are too cheap to offer dignity. Don't hide behind political correctness.
Chris Andrews
Debt makes you distracted. Have the will to take action. Visualize.
Emmit Smith
Have a strategy. It takes hard work and dedication. Have mentors. All things begin and end in faith. Think beyond the end of the game. Even thru adversity opportunities emerge. It is a decision and choice if you don't take action. You will be knocked down - pick yourself back up. You will have to fight and fight hard. Do your job with passion and integrity. When you strive to be your best you and your team will be successful! Learn, hone and develope your skills.
1. it all begin and ends with faith
2. claim inner champion
3. write down goals
4. define yourself and be a champion
5. recognize your vision
6. have fun - you only have one life
7. don't give up
8. never strive for perfection - strive for excellence
9. be open for critics
10. do whatever it takes to be successful, and be consistent
Krish Dhanam
Success is who you are from where you begin to where you end. We are mental, physical and spiritual beings.
IQ = intelegence
EQ = will
SQ = soul
all these (IQ, EQ, SQ) = YOU
Lord become #1 in my life. Transform me to be the kind of person who you want me to be. Forgive me of my transgressions. When this is your heart, He will be the pilot of your life. His purpose is what you were created for. Cut out of your heart that which truely doesn't matter.
Dr Robert Schuller
You/I can sin and make mistakes. You/I can go to heaven or hell. Cut the word impossible out of your life. If we don't have Jesus in our heart we have nothing. You can start over again. Faith is the capacity to believe what you do not have. Live with faith not with doubts. God is alive. Positive thinkers are always winners. God loves you!
Julie Ziglar & Zig Ziglar
Help is needed in whatever you are doing. You can have everything in life you wnt if you help enough other people get what they want and need. Encouragement is very important. The "economy" is in your head. God didn't make junk. You need to treat each other in a loving way. Tell the truth and people will trust you...trust is the magic word. "Cold Hard Cash" is neither hard nor cold...it is soft and warm. You can't get anything without character. A sense of humor is one of the most important things in life. Say: I love you and believe in you! You have to put something in before you can get something out...you may have to pump long enough...hard enough...and with the right attitude!
Ryan Smith
What is the definition of a business? Provide a product or service that makes a profit. Are yo just busy being busy? You need to be out to serve the other party. Instill a work ethic. I blieve prayer works. He that is good with little is given much. Believers know why they are givers. Income does not determine class. Every action has an equal reaction. If you don't have a plan, nothing will happen. A written plan is 300% better! What is your purpose? Serving people will bring you happiness...money doesn't. You serve to make it...you give to keep it. There is only one race - the Human Race. Serving to benefit others should be your purpose.
Troy Aikman
Success takes hard work...no shortcuts and easy way out. Put in the time. You know when you are working hard. We all need influential mentors and coaches...to make a "team". What makes a great leader? To be effective you have to explain the goal. Each member on the team will have their own goals and bring different attributes to the table. People make things tougher than they need to...keep it simple...pull back. Go in fully prepared - it will make your competition have to be just as prepared or work twice as hard. Getting knocked down has tought me to move and has been my greatest accomplishments. Give everything you have...even if it doesn't work out, something else will. Listen...play hard...be a good teammate.
Terry Bradshaw
Realize who you are. Be still and listen. God will tell you what to do. Be real with yourself. Know your limits. Be thankful you are alive today. Be what God wants you to be. Work hard at it. Be happy...you have to have joy inside. Understand your limits...and know what you are good at. We are all limited. Learn how to smile...you will meet lots of people. When you become successful, people will make fun of you and take shots at you. Keep things simple and in perspective. You have choices. Have a plan. Say Thank You to someone else.
Stephen Pierce
1. The biggest threat to your future is the past you won't let go of.
2. You can't make money and excuses at the same time.
3. It's not about it getting better...it is about you getting better.
It is not about what is going on on the outside, but what is going on on the inside. It isn't about proximity, it is perspective. Change isn't always comfortable, but it is possible.
Rudolph Giuliani
Spend time individualizing your thoughts and beliefs. We are in an instant information age. Stay connected. Make technology work for you. You have to figure it out and use it. You have to do more things and be intentional in leadership. Empower yourself with information. Have strong beliefs. Have goals. When you prepare, you do better. Be determined.
1. Read books: write down what interests you.
2. Listen: to other people. copy them (the ones you admire).
3. Write: things down...pro's & con's. goals.
4. Think & Meditate: everyday.
5. Care about & love people: be there for your friends - it is the best social safety net.
There are lots of winds...lots of waves...lots of distractions. Stop and take a break. Think of the morale of the people.
Steve Forbes
Do things outside the box - even when you don't know how it will turn out. Do things differently. Take some risks. Often times success comes from those who utilize the services already in existence. The little things are what makes the difference (i.e. coffee lids - one size fits all, vs sodapop lids - multiple sizes). Be ready for serendipity. Do things differently...like everyday things. Make it simple. Free enterprize with sensible rules. Information without implementation is useless.
General Colin Powell
You have to go thru transitions in life. Technology is changing life, how we learn, and how we do business. It doesn't matter where you start in life...it's where you end up! Book: The Greatest Generation. Go thru life looking through the windshield not the rearview mirror & sideview mirrors. Give people a future and a hope. Do not be afraid. Give them goals, a mission and a purpose...with passion. Leaders must show intensity and be inspired. Are you living the values you have in life? Take care of, equip and train "your troops" (employees). 186miles per a second = speed of lightening. The leader must do all this. Recognize your troops....they will glow all day. We all have anxiety's, fears, ambitions, goals, etc. The leader will be in touch with all in the organization. Don't hesitate to do what you need to do. Trust is the essence of ALL leadership. Be generous and open.
Laura Bush
We all have our own stories. Books not only move people but define and encourage us on our journey. It is the job of all of us to stand up and make a difference.
Krish Dhanam
If you're happy, acknowledge your face. Stand tall. Have geniune leadership. Restore relationships. Amicable partnerships. You have to have belief in your soul. Equality or Fairness? Complete ownership. "I wish I had" or "I am glad I did". Sometimes before you speed up, you must slow down. Effective stewardship. Give more than you have. You have to have something to give to do so. Leave more than you take. Offer praise to those loved. Whose applause matters? Book: The American Dream from Indian Times. We are too cheap to offer dignity. Don't hide behind political correctness.
Chris Andrews
Debt makes you distracted. Have the will to take action. Visualize.
Emmit Smith
Have a strategy. It takes hard work and dedication. Have mentors. All things begin and end in faith. Think beyond the end of the game. Even thru adversity opportunities emerge. It is a decision and choice if you don't take action. You will be knocked down - pick yourself back up. You will have to fight and fight hard. Do your job with passion and integrity. When you strive to be your best you and your team will be successful! Learn, hone and develope your skills.

Krish Dhanam
Success is who you are from where you begin to where you end. We are mental, physical and spiritual beings.
IQ = intelegence
EQ = will
SQ = soul
all these (IQ, EQ, SQ) = YOU
Lord become #1 in my life. Transform me to be the kind of person who you want me to be. Forgive me of my transgressions. When this is your heart, He will be the pilot of your life. His purpose is what you were created for. Cut out of your heart that which truely doesn't matter.
Dr Robert Schuller
You/I can sin and make mistakes. You/I can go to heaven or hell. Cut the word impossible out of your life. If we don't have Jesus in our heart we have nothing. You can start over again. Faith is the capacity to believe what you do not have. Live with faith not with doubts. God is alive. Positive thinkers are always winners. God loves you!
Julie Ziglar & Zig Ziglar
Help is needed in whatever you are doing. You can have everything in life you wnt if you help enough other people get what they want and need. Encouragement is very important. The "economy" is in your head. God didn't make junk. You need to treat each other in a loving way. Tell the truth and people will trust you...trust is the magic word. "Cold Hard Cash" is neither hard nor cold...it is soft and warm. You can't get anything without character. A sense of humor is one of the most important things in life. Say: I love you and believe in you! You have to put something in before you can get something out...you may have to pump long enough...hard enough...and with the right attitude!
Ryan Smith
What is the definition of a business? Provide a product or service that makes a profit. Are yo just busy being busy? You need to be out to serve the other party. Instill a work ethic. I blieve prayer works. He that is good with little is given much. Believers know why they are givers. Income does not determine class. Every action has an equal reaction. If you don't have a plan, nothing will happen. A written plan is 300% better! What is your purpose? Serving people will bring you happiness...money doesn't. You serve to make it...you give to keep it. There is only one race - the Human Race. Serving to benefit others should be your purpose.
Troy Aikman
Success takes hard work...no shortcuts and easy way out. Put in the time. You know when you are working hard. We all need influential mentors and coaches...to make a "team". What makes a great leader? To be effective you have to explain the goal. Each member on the team will have their own goals and bring different attributes to the table. People make things tougher than they need to...keep it simple...pull back. Go in fully prepared - it will make your competition have to be just as prepared or work twice as hard. Getting knocked down has tought me to move and has been my greatest accomplishments. Give everything you have...even if it doesn't work out, something else will. Listen...play hard...be a good teammate.
Terry Bradshaw
Realize who you are. Be still and listen. God will tell you what to do. Be real with yourself. Know your limits. Be thankful you are alive today. Be what God wants you to be. Work hard at it. Be happy...you have to have joy inside. Understand your limits...and know what you are good at. We are all limited. Learn how to smile...you will meet lots of people. When you become successful, people will make fun of you and take shots at you. Keep things simple and in perspective. You have choices. Have a plan. Say Thank You to someone else.
Stephen Pierce
