God Helps Those Who Help Themselves

Hello All!!
I'm trying to stay true to my promise to blog more often. I think I'm gonna use this blog as my Praise Report instead of Facebook because it gives me more space to talk lol.

But anyways, once again I'm thankful that He continues to see fit for me to live another day and try to do my best to please Him. I don't know what He's looking at but I'm glad He sees it. No major complaints, I'm still working and semi-loving my job. I'm thankful that when I get up I don't dread going to work. That's a rarity and to be one of the few that can say that is a true Blessing.

Today I've been at a kinda down mood. For some reason I seem to have lost a lot of my motivation. It's like i sit down and I know that I need to get up and do a particular errand but I'll just keep sitting and sitting or find something else to do that's lazy and the errand never gets done. And I don't know what to do about it. It's as if I'm really losing in life. My health track is alright, but I know good and well I could be doing so much more.
I use to sit and pray for strength and willpower and determination all the time to help me do better but then I realized something...
  God doesn't give us willpower because then that would be taking away our gift of free will. He doesn''t want to say to me," Jasmine you will choose to NOT eat that bad food and instead go outside" That's not giving me control of my mind. And after I realized this I came to the conclusion that I was HAPPY for this!! This means that by me choosing to do right and go the right direction, not only am I helping myself, but I'm praising Him more. And I'm doing it of my OWN FREE WILL!! Which pleases Him the most.
    He could easily make us all robots that just sit and worship Him all day but He'd rather us do it of our own choosing. And I'm going to do my best do continue to do so. I'm still gonna ask for prayers that I continue to do well on my health journey and make it to my half-marathon in March, but now I know that the saying "God helps those who help themselves" is SOOOOOOO TRUE!!
     Well that's all I have to speak on for now. And until next time!!
    Love,
       Jasmine
