Faith Prayer In Time Of Uncertainty 7:48 AM Prayer In Time of Uncertainty Dear God, Hear my prayer in this time of uncertainty in my life. I am blinded by the challenges of the present, help me remember that this is a part of your big plan for my beautiful future. I am discouraged by the uncertainties of things today, remind me that tomorrow is surely wonderful as You are already there. It is too dark where I'm standing now. I can't see a single thing. I am scared. I am lost. Hold my hand. For holding Your hands, I know I can do anything. Help me take a leap of faith. I don't know where I am going to land. But I know for sure that You will be there to catch me. Help me remember that if You can calm the waves and the raging storm, You can calm the storm in me. Remind me of the times you did the impossible to save your children in the face of peril and lead them to Your Promise Land. I may be in the desert today; parched, exhausted, alone, but I have faith that You are here to provide and protect. Forgive me for forgetting that You are Almighty. You laid the earth's foundation. You parted the Red Sea for Your people. You closed the mouths of hungry lions to save a faithful man. You made the blind see and the cripple walk. You raised the dead. What can you not do for me? Nothing is too hard for you. Forgive me for doubting. Awaken my faith. Revive my soul. Raise my dead dreams back to life again, Lord, I beg you. My future is unclear and uncertain but help me to believe that it is going to be okay. Because You hold my future in Your hands. In this time of uncertainty and difficulty, Lord hear my prayer in Jesus' name. Amen. See also: Let This Be My Prayer Today I Pray
Home Tips To Prolong The Life Of Your Appliances 11:40 AM Appliances make life easier for homeowners. They save time, offer convenience and allow one to get things done without breaking the bank. However, owning the right appliances is a huge investment. This is one of the reasons why you should strive to keep them for the longest time possible. Most appliances are designed to last for decades but their lifespan is normally affected by how you use and care for them. If you care for them well, they will last even longer than the manufacturers’ specified lifespans with minimal repair and maintenance costs. This article highlights some key tips that can be helpful in prolonging the lifespan of your appliances. Tips to Prolong the Life of Your Appliances Keep them Clean Keeping your appliances clean not only extends their lifespan but it also keeps them at peak performance. Cleaning is also essential for the health and safety of the members of your household. Follow the manufacturers and experts guidelines when cleaning your appliances. Use the right products and procedures to avoid ruining them. If you are not up to the task, look up appliance cleaning services in your area. Don’t Overload or Overwork When you overload or overwork your appliances, you increase wear and tear, ruin their performance and shorten their lifespan. Thus, avoid giving your dishwasher or washing machine more than it can handle. Don’t forget to check if there are time restrictions on how long you should keep an appliance running. If there is a recommendation to allow for cooling after every 5 minutes and you run the appliance continually for 10 minutes, you will be destroying its parts. Fix Issues Immediately Whenever you notice a weird noise, change in appliance efficiency, high utility bills, sparks, odour or any other unusual thing, have the cause of the issue identified and fixed immediately. When an issue is fixed on time, you prevent the damage from getting extensive. Extensive damage costs a lot of money to repair and some could be too extensive for repairs. Damage also weakens the appliance. You can DIY the repairs where you have the skill and call in a professional for everything else. By working with a professional, the job will be done right and your appliances will last longer. Additionally, a professional can easily detect other issues that may not be readily evident and fix them before they become serious. Consider Professional Appliance Installation Whenever you buy a new appliance, consider seeking professional services for installation. Poor installations can lead to appliance damage, injuries to the homeowner and home damage. Experts know the procedures to follow for proper installations, items and tools to use and how to set up the appliance for optimal performance. However, remember to do some research on every appliance installation or repair company you hire. If you choose the wrong person, the job will not be done right. Evaluate factors such as the experience, reputation and licensing. You can easily find an expert online by using search terms such as “appliance installation near me”. Buy the Right Appliance Parts Even with the right care and maintenance, some appliance parts do get worn out, damaged and lost with time. When making replacements, make sure you buy the right product. Most parts normally come with a certain number that you can use when shopping for a replacement. Another factor that is useful when choosing the right parts is the model of the appliance. Finally, buy your products from the manufacturer or a dealer who is approved to sell those parts. This guarantees that you will get the correct and high-quality product. If you aren’t sure what to buy, call the manufacturer and ask for assistance. Use Your Appliances for the Right Purpose Finally, use your appliances correctly. One of the things that will ruin your appliances fast is using them for another purpose other than what they are intended for. Nowadays, there are appliances for most tasks. Thus, you don’t have to use an appliance for another task other than what it was designed for. You don’t have to use your blender to make coffee and chop nuts when there are a coffee makers and food processors on the market. For the dishwasher and washing machine, use the right cleaning products for your clothes and dishes. The wrong cleaning products will wear out and damage your appliances. By taking such measures, you will prolong the lifespan of your appliances and save money in the short and long term. Don’t forget about high quality when buying appliances as this too has an effect on the lifespan. Take time to browse different options and choose the ones with the best quality, price and performance.
Listicle How To Have A Fulfilling Career In Teaching 7:48 PM Teaching is one of the most fulfilling career decisions that you can choose, allowing you to make a real difference to the lives of children and young people and focus on helping them to achieve their goals. However, every fulfilling career choice also has lots of hard work behind the scenes to get the education and training that you need to become a teacher and to start helping others. How to Have a Fulfilling Career in Teaching Get a Teaching Degree Every teacher working in the U.S must have a degree, with many teachers opting to educate themselves at an even higher level with a Masters or Ph.D. Many teachers aim to earn a degree in any subject before taking an additional teaching course on top of this, enabling them to expand their career options. However, if you want to open up the the best job prospects available to you, and if you are set on a career in teaching, then there are many specialist teaching degrees available. Merrimack College offers an elementary education masters online which can build on your prior knowledge of teaching and allow you to specialize. Find Classroom Experience After you have reached the education level that you desire, you can then start to consider how you will get the classroom experience that you need to succeed. Many schools offer schemes that allow students and those interested in working with children to go on a placement within the school. This will allow you to gain the experience and skills that you need in a practical way, from knowing the best practices to teach children, to all elements of childcare. Many degree courses, however, will have classroom experience combined with the course requirements, meaning that you will be assigned a placement as part of your course. Apply for the Right Documentation Every state also requires the right documentation for graduates to work as teachers and with children, and these include licenses and record checks. You must have state certification to work in schools, no matter what your role is. However, if you are considering working in a private school, you may not have to have these documents as they are outside of state regulations. Find a Teaching Position There is a large demand for teachers in the US. You should decide what type of teaching position you want to look for before applying, such as special needs schools, elementary or secondary schools, or religious options. Most teaching positions are advertised broadly in local newspapers and on job listing websites. The best time to search for a job is during the summer, when the highest majority of staff change-over occurs, and when organizations are particularly streamlined in looking to fill job roles while the school terms have come to an end. Teaching affords you the opportunity to impart knowledge and wisdom to children, plan lessons and activities, and care for every child in your classroom. Therefore, it can be a superbly rewarding career path to actively pursue.
Listicle Best Car Covers For Your Luxury Cars 10:18 PM Getting your hands on a luxury vehicle is more than an investment; it’s a statement on how you live your life. You don’t want to leave the condition of such a car to chance or let weather and dust leave their mark on such a prized possession. No matter how you store your vehicle, you need to ensure it has top-notch protection from all of the elements. Here are a few of the best indoor and outdoor car covers, interior defenses and UV shields available. Best Car Covers For Your Luxury Cars Inside Safety The best way to keep any vehicle away from harm is to keep it in a storage facility or garage. While this keeps out UV rays and moisture caused by precipitation, it doesn’t provide the total protection such an expensive investment needs. The Car Capsul is an excellent way to seal your car from corrosion, dust and debris, no matter where you keep it secure. Its clear dome-like coverage lets everyone see your car in its mint-condition glory, making it perfect for long-term storage that lets you appreciate your mechanical masterpiece. Take a Seat Sometimes it’s not the outside of your car you need to worry about. Fresh leather interiors are both comfortable and gorgeous accents, but seats can be a magnet for cracks caused by ultraviolet exposure while dust and mildew can find its way between the cushions. Custom fit seat covers like those made by CalTrend will both protect the leather and cover any wear that might have already taken place. With leather sheaths, you’ll still get the same look and feel while keeping the original seats in great condition, too. Full Coverage When storing your vehicle inside isn’t an option, you need to make sure your luxury car isn’t exposed to nature’s worst. Aside from harmful UV rays, dirt and water, you runt the risk of impacts from falling debris during windstorms or even hail and sleet damage. Choosing protection like the Superweave car cover is a great option since it is not only an excellent barrier for moisture and dust but its thicker construction makes it very durable against dents and dings. Quick drying times and superior lightweight materials mean you won’t need to wait long to get your favorite toy onto the asphalt, either. Hitting the Road Storing your car only protects it when it's not in use. Taking your luxury car out for a drive shouldn’t leave you stressed that it might get some unforeseen wear and scratches thanks to unruly roads. To protect that precious front end, look into custom made car bras that will shield the nose from bugs, stones and dirt that often get in the way of the perfect drive. This will also add to the stylish look of your vehicle, showing off how much you care about protecting the things you love. No matter how you store or drive your car, make sure you keep it protected from all hazards both on the road and off. Look for custom car, seat, and bra covers online to find the best deals that will keep your luxury car looking great for years to come!

Fashion & Style A Brief History Of Asics 9:46 PM A Brief History Of Asics You see these cool kicks in the stores but do you know about the legendary brief history of Asics?The company producing Asics shoes takes its name from the first letter of each word in the maxim Anima Sana In Corpore Sano. This phrase is translated from Latin as a sound mind in a sound body. The expression is also interpreted as a healthy soul in a healthy body. It is credited to the Roman poet Juvenal, who taught that this was all anyone needed to ask for in their prayers. The essence of this Japanese shoe brand is its founding principle which is promoting physical exercise as a means to achieve a healthy mind and spirit. A Brief History of Asics How Asics Began Now recognized as a maker of some of the best sneakers for men, Asics began shortly after the end of World War II. In 1949, Kihachiro Onitsuka, a former Japanese military officer, started a small shoe company out of his Kobe, Japan living room. Onitsuka's intention was to manufacture a product that would help invigorate his war-torn country's young people and bring them together. He believed that physical exercise and sports were excellent ways to promote the health and happiness of not only each individual but for what at that time was a disconnected society in Japan. With his desire to contribute to his country's morale and rebuilding efforts, Onitsuka devised a way to revolutionize basketball footwear. His intent was to create a shoe to help his countrymen win international sports competitions. Back in the 1940s, basketball sneakers weren’t designed for swift maneuvering and they lacked sufficient grip capabilities. Through a lengthy trial-and-error process, Onitsuka designed his basketball shoes and then watched players wearing them in a high school gym class to see how they worked on the court. He noticed that the players were slipping, and with feedback from the coach, he attempted to redesign his shoe. He didn't have much luck in improving the grip capability at first. But one day, inspiration struck while at a restaurant eating an octopus salad...One of the tentacles got stuck to Onitsuka's salad bowl. At that moment, he knew the way to improve his basketball shoe was to design its sole with suction cups much like those on an octopus tentacle. In 1951, the Onitsuka Tiger basketball shoe was launched with grips that allowed players to make swift movements and sudden stops on the court. The high school basketball team that Onitsuka used as a proving ground won their championship game. The Japanese Olympic basketball team also wore them in their competitions, and Onitsuka's company began its journey to international success. Growth and Popularity of Asics in America During the 1950s and 1960s, Onitsuka's company grew in its research and development efforts. It designed shoes for running, volleyball and tennis. It branched out into activewear for sports players of all types. In 1977, the company recreated itself as Asics and expanded its manufacturing to the United States. The brand grew in popularity internationally and became an official pop-culture icon when Bruce Lee first wore them in his movie Game of Death. Asics Today With new models being introduced and the innovative, high-quality, and grip factors that catapulted Onitsuka’s shoes to success, the company has maintained and expanded upon its products’ core features. If it’s for sports, hiking, or for stylish casual wear, some of the best footgear made for men can be found in the Asics product line. Wouldn't it be great if you're working out not just to keep your body healthy but also to achieve a sound mind?That's what Asics is about. How great to know about its brief history. This big international brand has an impressive principle that makes you want to support it.BRB. Will get another pair of these gorgeous kicks. See you at the sports store?

Life Lessons Loving Yourself Starts With Loving The Needy 7:00 PM We live in a world where many counselors, psychologists, and other advisers advocate for self-love. There are countless sayings that state how you need to love yourself first before you can love someone else. ‘Self-love first’ has become like a gospel truth that the majority of people have come to believe. Is there some truth in the self-love gospel? Maybe not. There can be a very thin line between self-love and selfishness. Loving the needy and giving to a charity such as Yad Ezra can help you love yourself more. Putting others first in a prudent way could be the key to more self-love and heightened self-esteem. You may be wondering, 'how does helping others make me love myself?' Here is how; Loving Yourself Starts With Loving The Needy Loving the needy gives you a sense of purpose A common denominator for people who love themselves is that they know their purpose in life. When you are clear about what you are supposed to be doing with your life, you develop self-esteem. Most people with suicidal thoughts and those who are envious of others struggle with a lack of purpose. Such people end up hating and questioning their very existence. Giving gives your life meaning. When you make a difference in the life of a needy person, you feel better about yourself, and you will, in turn, love yourself more. Draws love to your life Loving others brings more love your way because people love generous people. That said; give wisely to keep others from taking advantage of you. Human beings are social beings. We need to be around others to feel love and warmth. Rejection from people could cause you to think less of yourself. When you are surrounded by love and receive gratitude and admiration from the people you have helped, you begin to see your value. Such recognition raises your self-esteem. Build stronger social connections Everybody loves to be part of a group, to fit into a particular click. When you associate with the needy, you will make friends with them and with other people who are donating to charity. Being in the right social circle where people respect and appreciate you also makes you appreciate yourself. Feeling that you belong and that people accept you increases self-love. Do unto others what you would have them do to you If you were in a needy situation, how would you want someone else to treat you? with kindness, compassion, and empathy? Of course. Helping others shows that you value yourself because when you are in need, you would also expect others to help you. When you love others, nature will respond when you call for help in your time of need. Loving and helping the needy is an invaluable gift of love that you give yourself. When you give, you feel better about yourself. People around you will admire and respect you and will want to be around you. As a result, your self-confidence and self-esteem will increase.
