Change Your Thinking

Scriptures and Meditations for your Best Life Now By: Joel Osteen

The good news is that it's not a lack of resources on God's part or His unwillingness to show you His incredible favor that prevents you from prospering. All too often the problem lies within. You may have assumed that you've reached your limits in life, that you will never be more successful or do something meaningful or enjoy the good things in life that you've seen others enjoy.
Sad to say, you are exactly right... unless you are willing to change your thinking and start believing for something bigger. Interestingly, when Jesus wanted to encourage his followers to enlarge their visions, He reminded them, "You can't put the new wine into old wineskins." He was saying that you cannot have a larger life with restricted attitudes. Will you stretch your faith and vision and get rid of those old negative mind-sets that hold you back? (Don't mind if I do!) 
You don't have to be bound by the barriers of the past. Start making room in your thinking for what God has in store for you. You must conceive it in your heart and mind before you can receive it. The key is to believe, to let the seeds God is placing in your life to take root so they can grow. Expect God's favor to help you break out the ruts and rise to new heights. Expect to excel in whatever you do.
Remember: With God, all things are possible.

Another Great Week!

Hello! Ok so I can easily say I am no longer being haunted by the darn ATI test I had to do for school! Seriously 5x taking that test!?! But you know what, I don't care now! I passed it!!! about 10pts above their national mean so I have to say I did a pretty awesome job! :) I just feel like I can now breathe.. I hated the tutoring, the studying every day, taking so many practice tests but it worked so I can no longer complain but instead be blessed!
This week, I decided to join some wonderful ladies and go to Care4Coffee! I may have been forever late but better late than never. I know some really good people I would just love to be a little closer to them, but I also don't want to be too close since I know Mark and I will be moving soon and then I have to start all over for friends to wherever the Army may lead us. Its military life, I love it though, my husband loves his job and I support him 110%. I just cannot wait until he becomes Sergeant! SGT Guzman. That would be awesome, not to mention the pay would be a little nicer and he will be higher ranking than anyone in my family that was in the service! =P I'm so proud of him. Once I start working our lifestyle would be a little more sweeter and I just hope I save more money than spend it.. I mean.. I haven't worked in forever.. I may just use my first paycheck on a shopping spree for myself and my corazon.. we deserve it! <3 I just want to save like about 20-40 grand so when he finally decides to get out the military, we move where we please and buy a house and use all that money as a down payment or something.
I also went to the doctor this week. I went on monday to this new Obgyn. Let me tell you! He was UHHMAAZZINNGG!! Probably the best doctor I've met in like.. my entire life.. Obgyn that is.. haha. I absolutely just fell in love with him! lol. He was very understanding and not negative at all. Not to mention he has high hopes. I know God is the one that answers prayers, but I truly believe God put this doctor in my path for a reason! That reason being Mark and I will get our little miracle. our blessing from God. Thank you God, for leading me to him... My first time meeting this man, I had to give him some previous lab work, Mark has to hunt down his lab work from Beaumont... yea good luck on that. Doc basically said we are kinda starting from square one... but not really because alot of tests do not need repeating. Which is good because I really did NOT want to get another Endometrial biopsy (it hurts horribly) or an HSG.. (anxiety major!) so I feel a little relieved about that.. He is ordering a lot of lab work that I will be doing within the next couple of weeks. I also have an ultrasound on the 23rd of this month... to see how everything looks... Im a little nervous.. but I'd rather know now than later. so we shall see. God I know you are by my side! thank you!

Start Believing for More

Scriptures and Meditations for your Best Life Now By: Joel Osteen

We serve the God who created the universe. Never settle for a small view of God. He wants to do big things and new things in our lives. God wants us to be constantly increasing. to be rising to new heights. He wants to increase you in wisdom and help you make better decisions. He wants to increase you financially, by giving you promotions, fresh ideas, and creativity. He wants to pour out "His far and beyond favor" (Eph. 2:7)
It's time to enlarge your vision. To live your best life now, you must start looking at life through the eyes of faith, seeing yourself rising to new levels. See your business taking off. See your marriage restored. See your family prospering. You must conceive it and believe it is possible if you ever hope to experience it.
With God on your side, you cannot possibly lose. he can make a way when it looks as though there is no way. He can open doors that no man can shut. He can supernaturally turn your life around. Get rid of small-minded thinking and start thinking as God thinks. Think big. Think increase. Think abundance. Think more than enough!

Your own wrong thinking can keep you from God's best.

Stress-free

Recap of my week: I have been attending tutoring this week for an exam that I am hoping to take next week! I hope I am ready so I can just put it behind me and move FORWARD! So I attended tutoring on monday, tuesday and thursday. It has helped. I should do more study this weekend though. I need to be 110% prepared! I no longer feel stressed about my husband and the Army! He had a PT test on wednesday, and voila, he passed! I am so PROUD of HIM! He truly is the most perfect man for me! :) Can't wait to have his children =) So in other words, my husband is going to re enlist! Yay! That's the plan, of course, but the point of it all, I am not stressed! I love it. I have also been playing Dance Central, Kinect Adventures, and Just Dance all this week, I only missed one day of it and that's because I was so sore (I pulled my leg too hard during a move) that it hurt so bad just to sit down! But I like the soreness, tells me I'm doing something right, and working out even if its on the wii/xbox just dancing and having fun is better than doing nothing! I also went walking today to the park and that felt great, so hoping to get my butt into the gym next week! This week was also the start of Lent for people who are Catholic. I am not Catholic, but my husband is and I will just support him, I didn't give up anything though... I wanted to just to have some self control. but too late now. Maybe next time I can just give up something, just because. Overall, it was a great week!

Random day

Today was an okay day. A friend I haven't seen in forever invited me out to lunch and it was great having some social interaction! I miss talking to people... I feel like lately I have just been keeping to myself.. but that's also because some people just don't think before they speak... not to mention I don't want any trouble from anyone whatsoever. I like peace... as a matter of fact.. I love it! Life has been great.... I took one of the practice ATIs yesterday and I made a 90 and that's not even studying.. which is pretty freaking awesome! I definitely need to relax and just calm down when I take these tests so I can just PASS and get it over with!
I have some good news! I have lost a total of 8lbs. That is AWESOME for me.. considering I have been having trouble with my weight practically my entire life.. Last year a doc in Washington DC told me my thyroid levels were low so I'm suffering from hypothyroidism... not to mention the dreadful PCOS that I am currently trying to kick out the door so I can conceive! I am trying to lose about 50lbs.. and if I stay DEDICATED.. I will lose them. And praying to GOD and having faith I will conceive and receive my blessing.. I believe it can happen. I used to be afraid to talk about my personal business to everyone for the fact that many people are very judgmental..  but now.. screw em! It's my life, they obviously don't know what I go through.. Take a walk in my shoes and find out, chances are you will say no thanks. alright then.. I had a great time bowling with the neighbors, its sad that they are leaving this month... one day we will cross paths again.
Also today, I decided to speak my mind.. instead of just staying quiet just so I wouldn't make people feel bad.. no not anymore, I think people deserve to know the truth! Everyone does right? Well apparently that person didn't like it.. but the truth hurts and sometimes people need a reality check. I will just pray for them and hope they can follow the right path. That's pretty much all I can say I don't think details should matter.
I'm out now!
By the way, my husband and I are EXCELLENT! I prayed to God, for us.. and communication is KEY. I believe in "this too, shall pass away" and it did. :) We can overcome anything. I love him to death and our love is stronger each and every day. He completes me. God couldn't have chosen a much better man for me. I truly did find my soul mate! :)

Lets be H-A-P-P-Y together

I realized I haven't been posting as much as I told myself I was to relieve stressors. I need to stay on top of it and express myself since it feels like I can't talk to any friends about it for the simple thought I don't like people to know what's going on in my marriage for the simple fact that they try to come into it and ruin it. What the hell is wrong with people now a days? Have they forgotten what respect is? I refuse to respect someone who doesn't respect me ba ck but even if I hated someone I will never do something so low like that. That is not me, that is not what God chose me to be.
First off, I don't get how people would want to do this to me. To try and tell me my husband is abusive towards me... Say WHAT?! Is just a rumor waiting to get started! Not to mention my husband doesn't deserve me because I am too much of a great person to be with him because of his flaws. See here's the thing. Everyone has flaws. I am not a great person.. I'm just a good person trying to make the best out of my life possible. My husband is a good person in his own way too. I'm proud of what he does, he's a US ARMY soldier, that should tell you enough to know he has a spot waiting for him in heaven when the time comes because he chose to love and protect his country. Right?
So I get to thinking.. These people are trying to make us argue and arguments can lead to much more when they can't be fixed.
So you think back... What is it that we have that these people don't have? I know! We have a great marriage, we can talk to each other and work things out we consult with each other first before we make any decisions. Last but not least, WE LOVE EACH OTHER. We always will. We knew we wanted to be together forever.
Just because these people's marriage failed, it doesn't give them a RIGHT to judge and manipulate someone else's marriage. If they were truly my friend, they wouldn't have dared to do such a thing.why would they hurt their friend? Jealousy? Envy? You should never be jealous of a friend.. That's no friend at all.
I'm also at fault but I'm only human... My mind got manipulated and its affecting my marriage as we speak. I just want to be happy... with my husband. Is that too much to ask? It just tells me one thing. I cannot hang out with these people anymore.
