Could you do what you're doing now for the rest of your life?

Posted on Nov 1st, 2007 by Janna'
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for October 26, 2007:

No I do not think that I could do what i am doing for the rest of my life.  I could not be in school forever eventhough it feels like I have been in school forever. I could probably be a school teacher for the rest of my life as a matter of fact I know that I could. That 's what I am going to school for and I will be teaching until I graduate.

If you had to lose your vision, what would you look at today?

Posted on Nov 2nd, 2007 by Janna'
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 02, 2007:

If I were going to lose my vision today, I would probably want to see the movie American Gangster. I would also want to see my immediate family members, the wonders of nature, really I would want to look at as much as i could because I would never see anything again.  I would want to be able to remember what different things looked like.

Things are happening

Posted on Nov 2nd, 2007 by Janna'
About two weeks ago I started looking for a job.  Well, on  yesterday all of my efforts paid off because. I got an interview ans job offer from a local department store.  It is not a lot of money, however, I am truly tthankful for this opportunity.  I feel that things are going to start to open up even more for myself and my family. I tell you I truly thank God because last month, no last week this time I was in a bad place. I didn't know how I was going to get my children their X-mas toys or even how I was going to pay our bills, nevertheless, how we were going to eat.  Now that I have my job I am going to do something that I have not done in a long time (regularly that is), I am going to start paying my tithes every Sunday.  I think that I owe that to God because he has truly been goood to me. Even when I was not working my bills somehow got paid, and we somehow ate.  I have been really being blessed way before this job even came along, he just decided to add a extra little something that I have been praying for and believing in.  God's graces, favors and blessings are what makes life so good. I am so thankful.

Why do we complain so much instead of being thankful?

Posted on Nov 7th, 2007 by Janna'

Complaining has become one of the most widely practiced habits for nearly everyone.  I was once a complainer.  I was always complaining about what I did not have, wanted, or needed.  Recently, about two weeks ago, I was sitting complaining about every possible thing that I could think of. When it hit me, why am I complianing when  there is so much that I can be thankful for the things that I do have ( life, health, strength, a roof over my head and so on).  At that moment, I decided that I was going to stop complaining. Hey, let's be real, all complaining does is make you feel worse.  When you complain you are constantly reminding you of all the things that you do not have or have not done, so what is the use in that. I call this negative thinking and thinking this way is not good.  It wasn't goood for me anyway because it was causing my to become depressed and I started having migraines that would not go away. I even feel that my weight gain 4 years ago was a result of my chronically complaining.

 I have began turning that negative energy into positive energy. I am focused on getting my degree and just being thankful for what God has blessed me with. I have always been taught that he does not put more on you than you can bear.  In translation, I have been through some things and I have not been broken yet, so that tells me that I am an awesome individual because I am still standing tall and strong.

What does the word 'natural' mean to you?

Posted on Nov 8th, 2007 by Janna'
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 07, 2007:

To me natural means to not be altered in anyway, nothing is added. Natural means that however God created a person or thing, that the way that the person or thing will be, you know unchanged physically or genetically.

What is your relationship to your life story?

Posted on Nov 21st, 2007 by Janna'
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 17, 2007:

Well, my life story was partially written by me and by others in my life.  The early part of my life story (childhood to teen years) was interpretted and written by my mother and the teen years to the age of 26 my life story has been written by my husband.  Now that I have become a little older and wiser, I have taken control of my own life and I am writting it the way that I chose.
