7 Ways to Have a Peaceful Day

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. As a member of one body, you are called to live in peace and always be thankful - Colossians 3:15

How we spend the first few hours of our morning will determine the kind of day we will have. 

Setting a morning routine will help you get prepared mentally, spiritually and physically to start your day and handle anything that comes your way throughout the day.  

We have the gift of peace in our heart through the spirit of Christ that lives in us. But we must take action to maintain that peace at all times. There is so much distraction in this world, that can take us out of our peaceful space.  We need to arm ourselves daily so we are able to deal with situations that arise and still maintain our peace.   

But the fruits of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Galatians 5:22-23

How I Manage My Acid Reflux

If you live with Acid Reflux like I do, and it has disrupted your life in so many ways. Causing you to lose sleep because your stomach is not settled and you need to stay up to avoid reflux.  You can no longer enjoy certain foods because it can trigger an attack of Acid Reflux and heart burn. The worst part about Acid Reflux is the heart burn and trying to figure out how to stop it and provide some relief and comfort to your burning chest and throat. 

Well if you are like me and need some tips and tricks just keep reading. 

Acid Reflux is a condition that can be managed through dietary changes and medication for some of us. The other option is surgery for those who prefer to go that route. Surgery is always a last option for me to consider if I have a choice in the matter. But, if I can manage through making some sort of change I am open to it. Plus dietary change is usually a good thing it benefits me in other ways. 

My Yearly Mammogram

Yesterday was my yearly Mammogram, 18 years ago God healed me from Breast Cancer. Every year since then I get a mammogram and an ultra sound. In the past, as the months went by and December approached it was not an easy time for me. As the time got closer, I could feel myself starting to slowly move from a place of peace and protection to worry, fear and negative thinking.
