Reflections Reflection: Forget God 8:00 AM Being sick. Being broke. Being heartbroken. Those are a few times when I remember I was holding on to God so tightly. In my hurting, I never fail to remember Him. But here's a confession: when things are going well, I sometimes forget God. I forget how faithful He was not leaving my side when it seems the world has abandoned me. I forget how generous He's always been not letting my cup run dry. I forget about how He's healed me many times. I was a sickly kid. Yeah, I'm one of those nine lepers who were healed and never returned. As a result, when things go bad again, I worry. As if I haven't been saved by His grace a million times before. How not to forget God I strive every day to change for the better. I've realized I have so little faith because I'm not remembering the good things God has done for me in the past, but I do dwell on the times I felt let down. Having known this problem, I have figured out the solution. Reminder Tenor I know God is busy solving the planet's problems. Who knows how many universes are there in the vast multiverse. And He's in charge of all of them. But I boldly ask Him of this trivial, teeny tiny request: to remind me of how good He is. Seriously. When something good happens, and I know it's Him at work, I ask Him to remind me of that moment. Especially when tough times come up. Guess what, He does help me remember. Gratitude Journal Tumblr What I do so as not to forget God when things are going well is that I keep a gratitude journal. I'ts a simple list of what God has done for me in the past that seemed impossible for my limited human and imperfect faith and understanding. Things like: When I was traveling and was worried sick that my valuables will be stolen from my luggage, God kept them safe and secured. When I needed a new phone but buying a new one is out of the budget, God helped me win a contest where a sleek smartphone is the prize. When I was sick, God healed me. Sometimes I would add declarations on this journal, proclaiming what I believe God will do for me. No it's not magic, it's allowing God to work miracles in my life. I always forget about that beautiful fact. That's why writing them down helps me remember. So is reading reflections from other people's blogs. Reading blogs Tumblr As most of my time is spent online, I have to be wise about spending it. Aside from working for clients, managing this blog, and of course chatting with friends, I read blogs that are soul-nourishing. There are a lot of good stuff around the world wide web. You just have to find them. I'm glad I have. Here are a some of my favorite blogs that remind me how God works amazingly in our lives: The Dreamer Writes Everyday Gyaan Recklessly Alive Julie Garmon Bo Sanchez There are a LOT of great bloggers out there that I try to visit on a weekly basis (if I'm not busy) to get my soul nourishment, but I won't be writing them all down here. They know who they are. Hint: they're always leaving a sweet comment here on my blog. Go find them there. Video Reminders Giphy I always jump into work the moment I wake up, sometimes most of the time skipping breakfast because I want to finish early and complete the tasks ahead of schedule. That means skipping on reading the daily scripture too. I know, I used to be a good girl. What happened to me? LOL. I make up my listening to a 5-minute or so talk of my fave preachers on their Facebook pages. Yeah, social media can be your friend if you use it wisely. My calendar also has a daily reminder of how good God is and how beautiful this life could be if we decide to make it so. Check out these short but faith-filled videos on Facebook for daily inspiration and reminder of how amazing God is: Full Tank by Bo Sanchez Gognuts by Arun Gogna M3SY by Alvin Barcelona Joel Osteen Ministries Judah Smith What about you? When things are going well (or not), who do you turn to? Who do you remember the most to thank, to ask a favor from, or just to talk with? Any other blog sites or Facebook page that you can recommend? I'd appreciate it so much if you can leave the link in the comment. If you write about your personal experience or create short videos which you think can help me remember God, please let me know where to find you in the comment too. Looking forward to your reminder!

Listicle Guy Red Flags 8:00 PM When you are asked to love everybody indiscriminately, that is to love people without any standard, to love them regardless of whether they have any value or virtue, you are asked to love nobody. -Ayn Rand You see guy red flags, and instead of running away as fast as you can in the opposite direction, you rather shrug it off or turn a blind eye and run towards it. How many women choose to play dumb and lower their standards, hoping that these guy red flags they see are harmless or meaningless? No biggie. But, red flags if ignored can lead to more devastating situations. Before it's too late, save yourself from heartache and more trouble. Common Guy Red Flags He who never listens. When you clearly say "no" for a good reason, and he still proceeds to do it, right under your nose or behind your back. Well, it's only your opinion he doesn't respect. You still matter. Right? He who is too shallow. Too shallow to take you or your relationship seriously. He who lies to your face. All. The. Time. When he tells you he doesn't have any means of communication with his ex, and yet they're actively exchanging comments on Facebook, like each others' posts (Activity Logs, sweetheart), and her name is still on his contact list. Add to that the time he forgot to log out and you "accidentally" read their messages. But, you can't confront him, not if you don't want him to think you're prying. So you pretend you didn't see his "What's up?" and her "Hey, you've lost weight!" reply. It's none of your business after all. They're just being friendly. Then again, he told you they're not on speaking terms, didn't he? He who makes time for everything but you. When he's too exhausted to dial your number, and can't stay up talking to you because he needs to rest, otherwise his health will suffer. Surely you understand, right? Though he's always present in every drinking session there is, in sickness and in health, that's just him showing his loyalty to his friends. You know that. He who can't make up his mind. He makes plans, cancels it. Makes another one, reschedules it. Changes his mind, and cancels it altogether. He doesn't mind messing up your schedule and plans because he's confident that your universe revolves around him. You can cancel other things to make room for him in your calendar. He is your top priority. How dare you not make him your priority. Shame on you. He who couldn't care less. There you are ranting away and pouring your heart out, telling him how bad your day was because your boss/client/customer transformed into the spawn of the devil that he is, or you have had a misunderstanding with a colleague or friend, or you're just being hormonal. And there he is, your handsome prince, focused on his phone, chatting/texting who-knows-who, or reading, or staring blankly ahead. He's too focused on trying to solve your problems that he's totally zoned out. Or he's got his own problems bothering him. Or he's chatting with the president and making plans to solve the present economy crisis. Be supportive! Don't bother him with your frivolous stories. He who belittles you. He scoffs when you tell him about your dreams, he belittles your ideas, he always criticizes your flaws. And he claims he's only joking when he hurts your feelings with his words. He who is a foe to your friends. He doesn't like everything about your friends. Why can't your friends be like his friends? Or at least be like him ---perfect. He who is eternally broke. He frequently borrows money from you. He's not a bum, he's got a job. He's just hard up at the moment. Like he was last month. And the month before that. He's in dire need of money because, all his friends have Blackberry phones, and he can't be left out. He's running out of cigarettes and you know it's not cool to be not smoking. And those cute eyes need a Ray Ban to protect them. It's a matter of life and death. Don't be greedy. He who adores himself. He loves to talk about himself. He is the best thing that has ever happened to you. You must be honored. You ignore the red flags maybe because you know your intuition has never failed you yet, and you hope with all your heart that this time you're wrong. Maybe you desperately want things to work out. Maybe you hope it will go away, or at least change. Maybe you want to persuade yourself that it's normal. Maybe you think you've set your standards too high that you want to believe you can live with these "quirks" anyway. If you think you can live with it, it's all up to you. If you have faith that the other person will eventually change, it's your call. Remember that like everything else in life, who you want to be with is a choice. And you alone are accountable for the actions and choices you make. So, stay or leave? Hey, did you find this post helpful or entertaining? Please go ahead and share.

Folks left and right are asking me about my love life every time and are curious to know when I'd get married and have kids), I am personally excited to listen to this podcast. Honestly, it's not that difficult to be single. But the people around you with their old-fashioned and backward beliefs could make it challenging. If you know how to take care of yourself. If you have the means to provide for your needs, if you have enough funds for traveling and your passion, if you can put aside for your future, and you have friends you can always count on, the single life is a liberating, fun, and awesome adventure.

Dating Why Some Men Date Older Women: The Appeal To Date Older Women 8:00 AM You will find a number of reasons why some men date older women. When men are dating a more mature woman you need to look at the age group as relative. It’s truly just a number and there are more essential factors to some romantic relationship; compatibility and communication, besides just your age group. You will experience a bit of a generation gap but this is normal and should be expected. These differences can really make a romantic relationship exciting as you are able to explore what each of you likes. You might find that you are trying things you didn't think you would, but enjoying yourself as well. Think of it as both of you broadening your horizons. Why Some Men Date Older Women Older women also often possess the self-assurance that some younger ladies are lacking. Many men will appreciate this confidence as they can find a lack of confidence in younger ladies really unappealing and frustrating. Older ladies realize the significance of producing a great impression. More mature ladies are also more financially independent and will not expect you to pay for everything. They have worked hard for their finances and won’t squander them but are willing to share expenses with you. There are even some aged women that appreciate younger men and shower them with gifts. However, there are also some more mature women who will be looking for this so make certain you know what you want when in a romantic relationship. Finances will differ depending on the individual and their background. Women today also aren’t worried about the social stigma of dating younger men. While ladies date more aged men all the time, it was once considered bad taste for men to date older women. In this day and age, this is not such an issue anymore. About the Author Alex Wise is the publisher and founder of Loveawake online dating site, which launched in July 2009 and has been providing original free dating services and relationship advice, tips, articles, reviews, and videos to readers ever since.
For Moms Help Your Child Succeed In School: 8 Simple Ways For Parents 7:03 AM Being a parent, you are your kid’s first and most vital mentor or teacher. When there is involvement of teachers and parents in their kids’ schools, the kids perform better in academics and have more confidence and are more willing to go to school. There are many activities that parents can help their kids’ learning process at home and during the school year. Here are simple ways to help your child succeed in school. Help Your Child Succeed In School Maintain a healthy relationship with your child's teachers and school staff 1. Meet your child's teacher. When your kid initiates his school journey, consult with your child’s teacher and discuss the various techniques to handle the school-going child. 2. Attend parent-teacher meetings and stay in touch with your child's teacher. Schools generally conduct one or two parent-teacher meetings each year. But you also have the authority to meet with your child's teacher any time throughout the year. via Bannerman Support your child academically 3. Figure out how your kid is performing. Enquire from the teacher how fine your child is doing in class compared to other students. If your child is not doing well, particularly when it comes to speaking or reading, then seek a help from a teacher and ask what you can do to help. It's essential to act quickly before your child slacks off. Also be definite to evaluate your child's progress report each time it comes out. 4. Go for superior services if you think your child needs it. Every student is different and they vary in their learning and grasping ability. Some students absorb and recognize the concept rapidly; while some may need extra support and devoted time to help them study efficiently and perform well in their tests. If your child is having issues with learning in school, you may hire a private home tutor who will focus only on your child. Hence, your kid faces fewer distractions in a home environment than in coaching centers, schools or in colleges. Eventually, they get higher grades in the tests. 5. Make sure that your child gets homework done. Your child must be aware of the importance of education and on a daily basis, homework needs to be done. You can assist your child with homework by maintaining a distinct place to study, finding a consistent time for homework, and eliminating interruptions such as the sound of television and other household works. via Tenor Support your child's learning at home 6. Establish a positive attitude about education to your children. Generally, kids imitate their parents. What we say and think about education will ultimately help our child to grow positive approaches towards school and education. They build confidence in themselves as learners. 7. Monitor your child's television, video game, and Internet use. A normal child on average devotes far more time watching television, surfing on the Internet and on play stations or video games than they do homework and other school-related activities. Educate your child how to use the internet properly and efficiently, so it will help him in his education and enhance his learning process 8. Inspire your child to be responsible and work independently. Taking charge and working self-sufficiently are important abilities for school success. You can help your kid to grow these qualities by making certain protocols that apply regularly, make sure that your child has to take responsibility for his deeds whether good or bad and both at home and in school. Make him learn to break down his tasks into small steps so that so he will be more productive and fruitful. Take time to play an active role in your child’s education through contribution, training and support. You and your child will gain the profits of a dedicated educational effort.
