Signs From Angels


These two feathers randomly fell from the sky right in-front of me this week within an hour apart!  Ironic considering all the decisions and changes I've been making in my life as of late! My angels are watching over me!  (Read more below) 




"Although our Angels are always near us, looking over us and protecting us, we very rarely know that they are there. Sometimes, our Angels will send us small signs and signals to let us know that they are near, and will always be there to love and support us. These signs can be anything from a subtle flash of light, a rainbow on a gloomy day, or even an unexpected, sudden feeling of love and warmth within you.

One of the ultimate signs your Angels are with you is finding a feather. Coming across a feather in your path, or finding a feather in an unexpected place is thought to be a message from the Angels.

Your Angels will use feathers of all different shapes and colors to offer you comfort or validation when you need it most. Feathers could also be a clue to an answer you have been looking for, or even a message to tell you you’re on the correct path."

Your Environment


Sometimes life takes us back to the very place where we need to look at our challenges in the face in order to heal.  Our environments need to change to make progress in our lives. The environment could be our mind, our surroundings, our diet, living situation, friend's circle, or etc. You MUST work on your environment or life will stay the same. One change every day can lead to so much more!

Monday Mess



Turn your "mess" into your message!! The hardships you go through are your calling. What can you help others with? What can they learn from you?

Morning Minute



WINGS: You have them. They are strong. Sometimes you may not think you have support, but you do! Break free from the vicious cycles and negative thinking.  KNOW you were MADE FOR MORE and don't let a few things prevent you from living the life you were meant to live! Rise up, take a leap, use those wings, and  FLY!

Love Does

I haven't had a whole lot of time to read as much as I used to but ordered a few books last week and finished this one Saturday! A true escape for me is laying out on a blanket in the grass with the sun shining down on me and disappearing with my nose in a book! :-) 



Loves Does, by Bob Goff is a collection of short stories and experiences that show another opportunity for him to love God more, and share that love with the people around him. For Bob, the whole world is an invitation from God:

“I think God sometimes uses the completely inexplicable events in our lives to point us toward Him. We get to decide each time whether we will lean in toward what is unfolding and say yes or back away. The folks who were following Jesus in Galilee got to decide the same thing each day because there was no road map, no program, and no certainty. All they had was this person, an idea, and an invitation to come and see.”

Bob's not a pastor- he's a lawyer, husband and a father.  He's had every excuse to live an ordinary life. But instead, Bob says YES. And the stories that result from that answer will amaze you. The escapades with his friend, how he met his wife, his sailing excursion, and how he has helped complete strangers throughout the years. 

Love Does has inspired me to dream bigger- To imagine that God is doing something bigger in me than I can grasp. I'm learning to live in the moment more, take more chances, and truly be present in my day to day activities. Each of us can spread joy and God's love! He uses us to do his work here on Earth. Be the light! His love is within us!  :-)

Hope

Last night at church the sermon was about choosing happiness and finding your life purpose- right up my alley!  One of our purposes as Christians is to lead people to Christ. I just wanted to thank Michael White for taking a chance on me 4 years ago and inviting me to Eagle Brook Church - SLP. This is one of the reasons I am still alive today and able to help others! It just takes one person to start a movement and one small step in the right direction to change your whole life around!

Soul Mate

I saw this a few weeks ago and wanted to share it!  I've been holding myself back from being truly happy for years. I'm ready to open up and let someone special in! I cannot wait to find out who will be a part of my amazing adventure I call life! ;-)

Having a Bad Day?

I've been having a really tough day today. Started off on the wrong foot and cried before 8:00 AM! LOL! Saw this quote and it makes me think of my life. 



"Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." - Henry Ford

I've felt like I have failed many times and have had to regroup and start over and begin again. The more I think about it failing means I am challenging myself and taking chances. There are so many people that just go through the motions of life and never try anything new. I moved back to Iowa for 3 different reasons and even though it has been hard I know it was the best decision. Sometimes we need to stop, evaluate where we are, and make more intelligent plans to get ahead. I believe things happen in a sequence because they are meant to. God gives the strongest people the most challenging obstacles because he knows we can handle it! No matter where you are at in your journey, remember it may hurt for a short while but it will get better, eventually!! :-)  Sending you some love tonight! And a HUG because HUGS are kinda my thing!! ;-) 

Be Well!! 

Jackie

Life-It's Time

“Remember that nurturing yourself is as important (if not more so) as nurturing others.” –Mary Anne Radmacher

This is the perfect quote right now for me in my life. I am giving it all up to God in the next few days! As I sat outside in the sun on my parent's farm this afternoon listening to the wind and the birds I thought about how I have neglected taking care of myself first and foremost. Both my mind and body. I know I have to help myself before I can truly give my all to others. It's ironic how so many people have been reaching out to me the past week or so even though I have been going through a rough patch myself! It's amazing how God may use us as a turning point in someone else's life! Keep being yourself-God is always watching! Take the time to nourish your body and soul so you don't burn out!!

I've Learned

One of my all time favorite quotes!!! I included an amazing picture I took when I was in San Diego also!


"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow.

I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.

I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life.

I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as making a "life."

I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.

I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back.

I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.

I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
