New Year Ahead
I'm getting ready for the New Year. That's the Christian New Year. It's starts on Advent, Sunday, December 2, 2012.
I'm looking forward to the Advent and Christmas Season. It's the time of year to remember what Christmas is all about. It's the time of year to be giving and thankful for what God has blessed us with. The gift of Salvation who is Jesus Christ.
The Christmas atmosphere is surrounding us. Wherever I go, I see the spirit of Christmas. The decorations, the Christmas lights and Christmas trees are on display. O such beauty to see.
I hope that you're awaiting to hear the Christmas story told over and over again. The story of God becoming flesh and blood. When God gave us the greatest wonder of all. His final Word that's found in Jesus Christ His Son.
I'm looking forward to this sacred season. It's going to be exciting. I hope you will join in the Holy Days events. The journey to Christmas Season; Enter in.
May the spirit of Christmas be upon all of us.
May we hear the Story of Christmas be told.
May the LORD birth in us something in us this Christmas season.
Amen.
Thanks for reading.

What Do You See In The World That Is Awesome?
via Mia You Journal
"You've probably heard the expression "stop and smell the roses" a
thousand times. But do you really understand the tremendous wisdom and importance in that old cliche?
When we take a few moments each day to stop and be present with the beauty around us - nature, wildlife, technology, people, etc. - we get to enjoy the very best and brightest that life has to offer.
In these moments we are filled with gratitude, love and peace. We aren't anxious about the future and we don't feel any guilt or regret about the past. This habit becomes the basis for living a peaceful, purposeful, passionate life in and of itself.
Each day this week, take time to "stop and smell the roses."
What do you see that is truly awesome?
A beautifully blossomed flower?
A baby deer?
A brand new building?
Your grandmother?"
Find something to focus on each day that is truly awesome to you, and write about how you feel in that moment when you're truly present to life's beauty.

Journaling Assignment #53: Self- Acceptance
I've been thinking about myself. Not in a selfish way, but in a way to where I know myself. It's those things that I do or don't do or say; and how I react to them. Through the years I have lighten up on myself. I have been trying to make wise choices.
I have to learn to accept some things about self. Thank God that I can change.... I know that I can't change myself. I have to learn to like myself. In fact I love myself. Beside, I'm with me all the time. I need to have a good relationship with myself.
Through the years, I have come to see myself differently. I know that I'm not perfect. I have and will continue to make mistakes or make poor choices.... I believe that I'm progressing as the years passed by.
I use to worry a lot about things I make mistakes about. I didn't know how to handle those things I thought were wrong. I had to deal with things. Through time I cooled off.
I do keep going when I feel I've miss the mark. I have to forgive and forgive myself when things don't go the way that I thought they should. That's call being mature.
What I find about myself that's unacceptable? When I know what I should do something or shouldn't do it. I need to be more in tune with what I know to be true. I'm thankful that God is in my life.
Without the help of Jesus, I think I would be worst off than I'm. I find confidence about myself when I allow God into what I'm doing. I believe that's what motivating me to do what is right and is the leading of the inner witness who's within me.
With the help of the Holy Spirit, I can do what God has called me to do. I know that I will not do all what God has for me. Fear can hold me back. But, I believe that God loves me in times when I think that He doesn't.
That love is so deep that I can't comprehend it. God's love is so much richer than any human on earth can give. That's unconditional love.
I am learning more and more as I'm on the journey with Jesus. Life has meaning... That's when when we know, that we know that we know. That's were our faith and hope comes from.

Self -Acceptance Journaling
via Mia You Journaling...
"Living in the state of self-acceptance is a peaceful place to be. I know from much previous experience what it is like to no feel that much of myself was acceptable. I was pretty ok with my smile and I thought I must be fairly intelligent and a pretty good mom.
Today, after many years of work on myself, I pretty much can do know wrong. That does not mean I don't make mistakes or need to accept responsibility for them. It means that when I make them, I don't beat myself up or do other harm to me or anyone else. I accept. I learn. I move on.

Scary topic for many.
Not so for others.
Not so for others.
How do you come by self acceptance?
What about yourself do you find unacceptable?
What are you motivated to change?
How might you do it?"

Summer Time
I have been slacking off journaling here.
I keep forgetting that I have this site.
I don't have journaling assignment any more.
It' was a wonder Lent and Easter Season.
The Advent Season starts on Dec 2, 2012.
In the mean time we are back in ordinary time.
I've been searching for family history.
I've made a lot of progress.
I've been writing my poems daily.
Hope all is well with you.
May God Bless you.
Summer Time is here.
Enjoy!
Peace be with you,
Susan

Be Thinking About What To Journal
I've been thinking. I first this site because I had a journaling assignment every week for 52 weeks. Well, that ended back on the second week of November 2011.
I was doing some things on tweet. I came across something. It's a 12 week journaling or writing about out family history.
I signed up for it. I see it as a good way to journal. I have seen the outline of the 12 weeks. There are 3 weeks that don't apply to me. I'll have some thing to share.
It's good to have a weekly assignment. It gets me to think. I've been looking at the questions.
Thanks for reading,Be Thinking About What To Journal
