Relying on Faith

Life is a journey it's not an event. It's about progress not perfection, spirituality not religion. Pain equals growth equals faith! No?

It pretty well sums it up for me though. I also realize that not everyone and possibly very few have the same beliefs that I have when it comes to my faith or at times lack thereof.

I frequently, as much as daily see on social sites such as facebook and twitter that @helpus (made up) and Jaxsn Lee asking for prayers for family and or friends. I listen to and hear folks share about their beliefs and their faith on a regular basis. These same people myself included at times tend to forget that it's about His will, not mine be done.

I share with them that if I pray (and I do daily) then I need to do so faithfully. Why pray or believe in a Greater Power than myself if I am going to do so without faith. If I pray for a situation, a person be it family or friend or even a short time acquaintance then I am doing so with a belief that the situation or prayer will be answered according to His will for me or better yet His will in that situation/prayer. If not then why do I pray?

Some say, and I was raised believing that, worrying, fretting or dealing with anxiety over events that I have no control over is a lack of my faith. I used to worry about that. Worry that since I am worrying it means I have little or no faith. Wow, how controlling is that? I used to think that, "what's the use", what's the use in praying since I am going to worry anyway. And since I am worrying it means I don't have faith so my prayer is not being heard anyway.

For me this was a way of allowing the evil one (what ever you consider that to be) to have control over my life and keep me from my understanding and belief in a Greater One. In other words I was going ahead and relinquishing control over the situation admitting defeat and powerlessness prior to even giving my God a chance.

I hope it helps by saying that today I choose to have faith by praying in such a manner that the outcome is according to His will for me and or that situation what ever it may be I am praying for.



You ask, why are you blogging about this you don't tend to blog about such things. I must tell you I do so with sadness in my heart and emotional well being. I just read on facebook about an acquaintance who died while giving birth. She was very young (around 27/28 yrs old) and a lot of friends and followers are just in shock. I must say it is a very shocking thing to read about by all means. The first thing many of us want to do is to ask, "why" , why God? Why take such a beautiful soul at such a very young age and to do so, leaving a couple of other children, family and friends behind.

It's not for me to say, it's not for me to ask why. It happened, it's out of my control, it's out of your control. Now it's time to pray for the well being of the other children, the family members who are left in shock and the friends who are left shaking our heads.

I truly believe that once I am called Home to the other land or the place some refer to as Heaven that I will not EVER ask why! I will have the answer. "Why" will not even be in my vocabulary, the answer to questions I have today will be evident. It won't even cross my thoughts to wonder why anymore. So it helps me to think like this in today's life so that I won't let troubling situations and events take control and cause me to react instead of acting.

So I ask you, when you pray do you pray with faith that the answered prayer is according to His will or according to what you want the answer to be? Pray with faith that you will find peace in any outcome of your prayer. Praying without faith is like reading without eyes, listening without ears and or thinking without believing. God hears me even when I am not on my knees, even when I am angry because that is who He is. He is all knowing, all loving and all forgiving...that's my God.

Who's yours? What's your belief when it comes to prayer and God?

Say Your Pleases and Thank You

Today was really no different than yesterday, except I felt better physically and health wise. But other than that I started the day off with a few pleases to the God of my understanding and of course will say my thank you at the end of the day when I lay my head down for a night of rest.



I try to always satisfy my soul and emotions as the day progresses or actually as any situation occurs that may be leaving me uncomfortable. "Don't hold any resentments, unresolved anger, hurt, jealousy, or painful emotions prior to falling asleep each night", is my example to live by. No I didn't come up with this on my own it was taught to me by one of my mentors and valuable friends who've I have been fortunate enough  to cross paths with in this journey we call life.

You see here again it goes along with my 'Understanding of God' as I've been freely given to choose to live by or not. It's a process not an event. It hasn't just happened overnight and for that I am grateful. I may not have had the ability to understand it so freely nor the will to accept all that power(less) and knowledge at once.

So back to today, because really isn't that all we have is TODAY?

After a few pleases and some thank you, I start my day off usually pretty much the same. Some think it's boring, unexciting and some think it's a little odd to have such a belief system. I say it's a way of life that freely gives me choices/decisions that are healthy and uneventful.

Again, who likes to curl up with your pillow and be resentful at some event that happened throughout the day that you may or may not had the choice to change if you could. It reminds me of a song by Foreigner:

Title- I Want to Know What Love Is

I gotta take a little time
A little time to think things over
I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older
Aaaah woah-ah-aah


Now this mountain I must climb
Feels like a world upon my shoulders
And through the clouds I see love shine
It keeps me warm as life grows colder


In my life there's been heartache and pain
I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far
To change this lonely life

Don't ask me how that got thrown in there but it came to mind as I was plugging away. And it is a great song by a fantastic group. However the point is don't start your day or end your day without reaching out to someone or some thing that will give you love, knowledge, power and is greater than you.

Have anything to add? Feel free to comment and or send to your facebook friends and twitter followers.

Been to?

This guest post from Werner Rogers

Has anyone been to smallbusiness.xo.com yet? I own my own small business and I've been looking for a way to streamline all the technologies I seem to have floating around at my office.

When I first started this business I wanted to make sure I was as advanced as possible but now that I'm in the mix of things I feel like I got a little too much tech around here. I think when I bought that tablet last month I realized things were heading in a direction out of my control… I even had to hire an IT consultant to come in once a month and make sure everything was running smoothly.

I had a business professor tell me once the key to having a successful small business was making sure you never had people hired to do things you couldn't do yourself. I think the fact that so behind when it comes to technology knowledge makes me uncomfortable that I can't run every aspect of my own business.

Shopping Online Made Easy with Baby Blankets

Recently we had a new addition to our family. We welcomed Rylan Stephen into the mix. My Great nephew. He is adorable, putting on weight and growing faster than you could ever imagine. We love shopping or at least I do for his Baby Blankets.

He is even beginning to start to say, "I good", remember teaching your babies that? Usually the first words they learn or are taught to learn are 'Mommy and or Daddy'. It was always a race to see who's words he/she spoke first. Mommy or Daddy. In this case we have tended to teach them to say the words 'I good.'

So what did you teach yours to say?

He also rolled him self over for the first time earlier this month and for only being 4 months old he did quite the job with the performance. Of course his Mom was extremely proud and so was his Grandma.

He likes to swing in his swing while using baby sling.

He also loves his Crib blankets and uses them while stretched out in his crib. He is such an adorable little boy and seems so content when he is sleeping. Yeah I said sleeping, however he is a good baby when he is awake too that is for certain.

Overall he is just the best thing to happen to us in quite some time. For those of you who remember ready some posts earlier this year we had quite the year as a family. First of all I lost my significant other who decided that we weren't meant to be and then less than a month after she left my Mother passed away with a long bout of fighting COPD. In the long and short of it, "Don't Smoke if you don't have to". Then after that we had a Tornado destroy our little town of 250 people. Out of the 110 homes in the town only 47 of them were left. It has began to restore but will not be the same for many many years to come. I never want to experience anything like the above again in my life time. I also would not wish such devastation on anyone.

However as stated the new addition to the family has been a huge bright spot and we as a family are trudging forward. Wouldn't have it any other way and God has been blessing us through our journey.

Is it So Important? What to Wear

Sometimes it is very difficult in making the decision of what to wear. At least for some folks. For me, well I do sometimes just grab the next available thing hanging in the closet and go with it. Others like my significant other takes time, changes a couple of times and then asks the unanswerable question, "honey does this go together", or "does this look alright"?



Well of course it goes together and of course it looks alright. What else am I suppose to say? I know I'm suppose to be honest but I generally have to watch my honesty with some as I have been called brutal honest. That at times leaves a mark.

So I tend to give myself permission to be a little less than honest or a little above what I think in my honesty. Like the old man and his wife who just came up out of the cyclone cellar to find his home and everything in ruins. He says, "hey look ma, nothing the matter here, isn't it grand the wind stopped blowing"?

So I guess you get my point, only the old fart wasn't being dishonest with his wife he was being dishonest with his self. He really seen nothing wrong when in fact they had lost everything. Trust me, if you read back to a few months ago or last summer you will see that I went through a tornado and we lost pretty much everything. At that time it wasn't important to decide what we was going to wear, it was important to just have a little something to wear and for that we were grateful!



The next time you look into your wardrobe or closet, where ever you keep your next outfit, just remember it's more important to have it than what others are going to think about what you have on. Sure we get caught up in what others think way too often.

I say give yourself permission to be happy, comfortable and grateful on a daily basis!

Walgreens and Express Scripts together again?

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

Imagine your favorite pharmacy. The quickness of service they provide, the ability to get it accurate, their friendliness, their overall attitude in serving you as a customer as their number one GOAL!

Then it all comes crashing down due to the fact that one of their network providers Walgreens and Express Scripts has been unable to reach an agreement with each other. So now you have to go across town, which cost you more in gas, perhaps you have to find another pharmacist or even change your doctor. Wow what a mess this causes you in time and anxiety!

This is NOT an agreement that Walgreens is proud of nor endorses. They would have loved for express script to remain one of their primary providers.   This includes all Walgreens pharmacies nationwide and Duane Reade pharmacies in the New York City area. 

Now patients are forced to drive farther, wait longer and deal with the inconveniences of finding another provider for their medication and refills. Also as a result some prescriptions are costing more and patients are having to deal with a new pharmacist as well. Imagine yourself in this situation. Not fun at all of course and frustrating as well. Below are some things that Walgreens did to attempt to continue a working relationship with Express Script:

  • Did not ask for a rate increase in medication or refills
  • Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens (a special discount)
  • Offered savings through 90 day supplies
  • Offered an increase in savings by proposing using even more generic drug prescriptions
  •  And much much more to alleviate any pain to the consumer

Update Below

 

Jan. 6 (Bloomberg) -- Walgreen Co. is willing to resume selling prescriptions to Express Scripts Inc. customers after the end of their contract Dec. 31 forced millions of consumers to switch pharmacies, Walgreen’s pharmacy-services chief said.

“We’ve always been willing to remain in the Express Scripts network, but it has to be at a rate which is fair for the value that we provide,” Kermit Crawford, president of Walgreen’s pharmacy, health and wellness services, said today in a telephone interview.

Walgreen, the largest U.S. drugstore chain, offered “significant cost concessions” in mid-December negotiations with Express Scripts from an earlier proposal to keep reimbursement rates flat for the next three years, Crawford said. He supervises Walgreen’s negotiating team and reports to Chief Executive Officer Greg Wasson.

Express Scripts “did not accept that offer and actually suggested pushing negotiations into the new year,” said Crawford, 52. “So I would say the ball is in their court. We are actually not waiting to hear from them. We’ve made the decision to move on.”

Express Scripts is open to an agreement with Walgreen, Brian Henry, an Express Scripts spokesman, said in an e-mail. Still, Walgreen wants to be paid more than other pharmacies, he said.
