What a crazy week already! Brain fog is no fun at all, but it can be funny at times. I mean, sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself instead of cry about it. Monday was just busy. I didn't have the time I needed to work on the Bible study. I was able to get some groceries which is a good thing. However, when I go, you can almost bet the trip will be 3 to 4 hours long. It is exhausting to go grocery shopping. My roommate had a visit from her home health. I had to control the dog during that. I have gotten behind in the kitchen again and I have been working on it all this week so far. Yesterday, I was struggling to concentrate. This is where the brain fog comes in. I am still having some issues today. There have been a few distractions already today. On top of that my leg cramped so hard that it cramped into my hip. Now it hurts to walk on it. I am trying to stay hydrated, so I don't think I am dehydrated. I have drank a lot over the last couple of days. A neighbor suggested my potassium could be a little low. 🤷‍♀️ I don't know. Maybe? Anyway, I am planning to catch up my blogs this week. I just feel like my head has been in a cloud this week. Maintenance has been in and out of here today to patch a hole they cut in the ceiling in the bathroom to fix a leak. Hopefully, tomorrow is a better day.

Prompt:
Jeremiah 29:13
And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.

Are you actively praying and digging into the Word everyday? Are you actively seeking God? Draw nigh to him and he will draw close to you. (James 4:8)

Answer:
Yes, I do. Every night before I go to bed, I read a minimum of one chapter per night with study notes. Then I use a prayer journal for prayer. I love God, and enjoy spending time with him.

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


Prompt:
Matthew 6:33
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Is there anything or anyone that you love more than God? Is there something that you don't want to give up, but you know is wrong? Is there an are you struggle with? Do you do everything to God's glory? We have all fallen short of his glory according to Romans 3:23. This is a good thing to examine ourselves for. Is God actually first in our life? I struggle sometimes with this too. We all do.

Answer:
I strive to put God first and foremost, but I sometimes fail. I try to keep him in my thoughts all the time, but I get distracted. I sometimes think on things I should not. I fall short almost every day, but not intentionally. I always try to confess sin immediately when I am made aware of it. The thoughts and intents and attitudes of my heart take a lot of work, but I am in a better place than I was.

Prompt: Why do you think photographs are so important and why are some people so hooked on their own selfies?

Photographs help remember memories and special moments. For me, taking pictures is therapeutic. It allows me to be creative and gives me a positive outlet. I find taking pictures exhilarating.

People take selfies for different reasons. For some, it is out of boredom. For others, it is because they love themselves and want to show off. Others may have entirely different reasons.

What happens to the Dreams?  (E)
Where do our dreams lead us? Don’t chase your dreams, live them!
#2224396 by Sharmelle's Expressions


Write about this in your Blog entry today.

Different people view dreams differently. A popular belief is that dreams are our subconscious speaking to us. Some people view dreams as spiritual, a way that the spiritual world communicates with the living. I believe some dreams can mean something, and I believe sometimes God speaks to us through our dreams.

For my blog



Take UP Your Cross


I ran across an article on the internet that has a list of questions to ask ourselves about our relationship with God. I would like to go through these questions in our blogs. This will help us examine ourselves and make sure our relationship is on target with God.

Prompt:
Question 1
Isaiah 59:2
But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Do I have any unconfessed sin? You don't need to give details on this unless you want to. The Bible does tell us to confess our sins to one another so we can pray for one another. Do you have prayers you don't feel are being answered? Could this be a reason why? Does this verse say anything to you personally?

Answer:
As far as I know, I don't have any unconfessed sin. May God reveal it to me if I do. I am struggling with a bit of a grumpy mood today as I write this. However, I am ok at the moment.

Prompt: “It is always easier to learn something than to use what you have learned.”
Chaim Potok, The Promise
What are your thoughts on the quote? Can you come up with a few examples to illustrate this author’s point?

I disagree with this quote. What is the point of learning anything if you are not going to use and apply that knowledge to your life. Those who are always learning and never using the knowledge they learn, lack wisdom and common sense. That is my opinion. Having said that, I have no desire to illustrate the author’s point. It would be like a college student graduating college and going right back into school to learn something else when they never even tried to work in the field of study they trained for.

Prompt: "When a soothing wind blows gently love through the thistledown of expectations, hope may inveigle the future for timeless care and tenderness to be anchored in a bay of good luck. ("Happiness blowing in the wind" )”
― Erik Pevernagie
Use this quote to inspire your blog entry.

Happiness is a choice. It would be nice if you could walk outside and let the wind hit you and suddenly be happy. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way.
