Cup of Thoughts

"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." ( Philippians 2:4 ) After a long day of work, or a school day that seemed as if it was dragging on for a century, do you ever feel drained? We carry on as if we're one-track minded. Never stopping to seek the needs of others. I find myself in this grudging feeling of complacency. Have you ever begun to notice the way people say things over and over again? It's as if we're in this ongoing routine every day of formalities that deep down, we don't even care about. I bet I ask, 'how are you,' more than a dozen times a day - to random strangers, and also to people I'm acquainted with. Sometimes I honestly care what they say, and most of the time it's out of habit. If I'm not sincere about asking, then why does it bother me so much? Because it's a thing we all do. Once you start to notice the verbal pattern, it starts to jab at you and make ...

Sally Hansen's MiracleGel line is awesome. Let me just put that out there. I picked this polish up during a quick run to Walgreen's and it has become my new favorite. Sally Hansen's MiracleGel, Greyfitti 206 Sally Hansen Miracle Gel Top Coat I topped it along with the MiracleGel top coat. Which does an outstanding job. Not only does it apply smoothly, but the polish is durable.  This lasted for a whole week without chipping (!!!). I also use the top coat with other non-gel polishes and it works fine. ♡ Anna

"Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." ( 1 Corinthians 10:31 ) This was ( and still is ) my mantra for a healthy lifestyle. If you've tried the New's Year Resolution of a healthy diet and failed at it miserably, you're not the only one. Everyone tries to shun the guilt of indulging ourselves over the holidays. Trying every diet out there, going as far as half-starving yourself for that perfect image that society tells you is necessary. Forget it. It's not worth it. Who's body is it anyway? It's not the world's. And it most definitely isn't your own. We were born with a living temple. God breathed life into you for His purpose. Not ours, but His. Life is a precious thing, and we take it for granted too often. Our bodies deserve to be treated as living sacrifices for God because in the Bible that's exactly what His will is for them. "I beseech you therefore, brethren...

A Moonbow Night, Laura Frantz "One of life's most painful mysteries was that time moved on, with or without you. Those left behind loved and laughed and resumed living as if you'd never been at all." Summary:  Tragedy and deep mourning chase both, Tempe Tucker, and Sion Morgan. In a search for peace, Tempe helps run an inn with her family, helping the pioneers who pass over the regions of the Cumberland Gap.
