CHRIST IN YOU
"I have been crucified with Christ and no longer live, but Christ lives in me." Galatians 2:20
We each have our own gifts, our own desires, our own passions in life. When we discover and begin to outwork our passion, we begin to see God miraculously work through us in the world around us.
Our passion is our enthusiasm because of Christ Living in us. The gospels have some amazing descriptions of God living “in us”: it's like being clothed with power from on high” (Luke 24:49), like being “baptized” (Mark 1:8), like water being poured on dry and thirsty ground (Isaiah 44:3). The spirit- - besides doing other things - - comfort's us, teaches us, and empowers us, counsels us, leads us, and intercedes for us.
As the spirit of Christ dwells within you and does these things, you will find yourself passionate about the very things Jesus Himself is passionate about. So invite the Spirit in. Your ongoing openness to God's spirit will mean a life of unstoppable passion fueled by God Himself.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the gift of Your Spirit. Thank you for helping me stay passionate.

Kimi's Kitchen! - 1
This is going to be the first attempt at an idea that popped in my head last week.
Kimi's Kitchen!
I had an amazing time attempting to record while I made a shake/smoothie for possibly the third time. I think I'm going to start recording most things that I make and be sure and share them on Facebook and especially with my different disability groups so hopefully it'll Inspire them to attempt cooking. Or perhaps someone will do the same thing and share ways that they deal with having a similar or hopefully completely different issue. One of my arms has ataxia and I also have tremors extremely bad sometimes but others it's fine. I'm looking forward to learning about how others handle their disability and even just anybody showing anyway they may cook something because I can adapt or figure out how to do something the way I need to just like you would hopefully.
The pictures will not upload so here is the link.
GOD'S SUSTAINING WORD
“It is written, ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God’” Matthew 4:4
Do you long to hear God's voice declaring his love for you? There are so many ways you can drink in the great depths of His love for you. One of those is to read God's love letter to you -- the Bible -- daily. Don't miss a single opportunity to hear from Him, and you will be nourished in a hole new way.
Not a day goes by, I'm guessing, when you don't talk or connected in some way with your spouse or best friend. It keeps our relationship healthy. Well, we would be crazy to think that our relationship with God needs any less attention. And the thing is, it's so easy to talk to him and connect with him in some way every single day. Not only does it feed your soul, but God loves when you chew his words (1 John 14:23-24).
That's why I can't say this strongly enough: read your Bible and other books that deepen your faith, such as this one. My prayer for you is that, as you spend time reading God's word, you may more fully “know this love that surpasses knowledge - - that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God” (Ephesians 3:19).
Lord, give me a hunger for Your Word and make reading a daily priority.

KIMI’S MORNING MOMENT!

Rooted in God's Love
"The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.” Psalm 103:8
I want to remind you of something important: Whatever you've given or not given, no matter what you are said or not said, what you have thought or not thought, what you have done or have not done, what you have accomplished or have not accomplished, God loves you. And he always will.
Love is not only what God does, it is who God is. He cannot stop Himself from loving us because He is love (1 John 4:8). His love far surpasses any Earthly love we may have experienced. It is based entirely on His character, not our performance. There is nothing you can do to make God love you less; there is nothing you can do to make him love you more. God loves you with and unfailing, indescribable, and unending love.
Of course, the Enemy would like you to believe otherwise. But you don't have to be plagued by his onslaught of thoughts and feelings of inadequacy, guilt, shame, condemnation, insecurity, fear, doubt, and then worthiness. Decide today not to listen to those lies, but to stand on the truth of God's Word. And His Word states again and again that God loves you. He always will - - no matter what.
Lord God, please seal into my heart the magnitude of Your love for me. As I face each day, may it be the running background to all my thoughts and actions.
Such an amazing devotion!! I know for myself, having all this time at home, I can get lost in my thoughts. Thoughts that the devil and the world have polluted with thoughts of negativity and unworthiness.
Small Successes!
Wide awake at 2:21 I am sweating pig bullets. One would think that if body temperature reachs a certain temperature that blankets would be kicked off or anything get relief from the heat. Apparently that is not the case with me, I put the warm blanket on top of the sheet but woke up sweating profusely-- all of the covers still on.
Although I am excited because after speaking to someone about when they stop drinking fluids so they don't have to get up in the middle of the night, when I woke up expecting that I need to go to the restroom I didn't have to go at all! Small successes I tell y'all, small successes.

...continued Amazing Adventure
Such An Exciting Sunday!!
I woke up crying and I don't know why. I looked at my phone to make sure everyone was okay when I saw a video from my sister with neon lines. The caption said something about the kids having fun so I thought they had those fun little neon sticks and made figurines-- it was pretty cool and I and I envied the kids fine motor skills.
After the video was over it showed that those were not figurines at all! The kids had neon stripes somehow adhered to their clothing and they were dancing in the dark! How much fun :-)
I turned on a sermon and it was really good talking about how during this time we need to continue to function as we would any other day. Although I have been dressing as I do most days, I have been relaxing and wearing leggings more often than my every other day regimen of outerwear. I decided I will get dressed up and wear a dress to online Church even though at the Church I go to most often wearing a dress is pretty much out of the ordinary for everyone.
Thank you so much for making my day guys!

Supposed to be Breakfast
Supposed to be Breakfast
Planning to use one of my shake or smoothie recipes for great breakfast I began to throw ingredients together not using a recipe. After I put superfood in I realized I didn't have any protein that didn't have SuperFood. However I did have clean green protein and it didn't say there's a super food in it so that would work. I got a little overzealous when adding the juice and chocolate milk and I think it went a wee bit above the fill line- - and that was before I added the peanut butter and the spinach. Needless to say the ninja is upside down and drying out. This isn't the first time this has happened. No matter how tight the lid is when I turn on the Ninja, the contents start to ooze out the side -- however I don't stop it or anything because it needs to be mixed anyway. Oh I just got an idea! Perhaps I should stop it and remove a little bit of the contents-- I might try that next time :-)!! Oh yeah and it just dawned on me I probably didn't need to add the spinach because I used Green Machine powder, too late!
This really doesn't taste that amazing but once I drink it down to the fill line I'm going to add some chocolate milk powder-- that has to help everything! Although it is past lunch time and I just realized Uber Eats is 50% off today and that's pretty exciting so maybe I need to find a salad or something.
Now that I finally have this written it is nearing 1:00 and I haven't finished or even started my shake so I can add the chocolate milk powder. Anyway, have a great Saturday! We are going to get through this sooner or later! God bless you guys!!
Simply Saturday!
Simply Saturday
Today is simply Saturday and at home we should be again,
Clean up the house, cook for the week or maybe just relax :-)
Relaxing for me is so hard to do because a disaster definitely ensues.
The rhyming is not working and all or even a little bit,
Fire sign mean two exercise and get my mind going and not just stay at home and sit.
Well, today is simply Saturday and there are no things that I must do,
So maybe I can rhyme in the last two lines and that can be a present from me to you!
Hope you have a great day and don't forget we're all in this together :-)!
