Sneak Peak into my Journal: Saul & David

For some reason I really wanted to share this with y'all. Maybe because I'm going through it and this really spoke to me.

How many know the story about Saul and David? Well Saul was trying to kill David. I'm basically going to write to y'all what I wrote in my journal about this this morning...

-I was thinking, mostly about my attitude, and it made me think of David & Saul. So many times I find it easy to hate someone or strongly not like someone.

-Saul was hunting down David, David could have easily killed Saul.

*{David:} "I cut off the corner of your robe but I did not kill you." -1 Samuel 24:11 [Clear to say I probably wouldn't have been as gracious as David was here.]

*{David:} "I have not wronged you, but you are hunting my down to take my life." -1 Samuel 24:11

-David could have been like, "you know what I'm gonna kill you before you kill me, you'll pay." And had anger, revenge and bitterness but instead he gave it to God.

*{David:} "May the Lord judge between you and me. And may the Lord avenge the wrongs you have done to me, but my hand will not touch you." -1 Samuel 24:12 [Gives it to God]

-Saul was in shock, his response to David was...

*{Saul:} "You are more righteous then I..." "You have treated me well, but I have treated you badly." -1 Samuel 24:17

*{Saul:} "When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the Lord reward you well for the way you treated me today." -1 Samuel 24:19

-I asked myself the first part, "When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed?" Or am I mean to them? Giving them dirty looks and making rude remarks? David let Saul get away unharmed. 

-Self-check: learn from Davids grace with Saul and the next time someone is rude and I have a chance to roll my eyes or make a quick smart remark, bite my tongue and give it to God.

I hope that made sense and helped you. Sometimes my thoughts can be all over the place and only make sense in my head so I really hope it made sense. ha

His Art

I know it's cliche to post pictures of the sky but I couldn't help to post this one that I took yesterday on my drive back home from school. How gorgeous is this!? God is the most beautiful artist!

[Smart] Baby Cat

About to gush over something I purchased today: these cat socks.

Yes I probably sound like a crazy cat lady but it's no secret that I love my cat so when I saw this socks at Forever 21 [here] they immediately went into my shopping bag! How cute are they?? I think that even if you're not a cat lover, you still think they're cute ;)

My kitties "shocked" face when I put the socks next to her...twins! Am I crazy? Probably but what can I say, I love my baby cat. :)

Ovarian Cancer Month

 This cancer is the worst. My aunt passed away from this cancer a year ago this past July. She was so strong and fought for almost 6 years when it took over. The crazy thing about this is that there are no early tests out there to let us women know if we have it until its already in the late stages. The symptoms are also symptoms you can see at a daily basis. 

We need to break our silence on this silent killer and become more aware of it. 

Some of the symptoms:

◇Bloating

◇Pelvic/abdominal pain

◇Difficulty with eating or feeling full quickly

◇Feeling like you need to urinate often/urgently

◇Fatigue

◇Upset stomach/heartburn

◇Constipation

 You can log onto ovarian.org and learn about walks/runs near you and how to become more aware.
