Quit.........

1. Quit arguing with people about the same old foolishness! Respect
their position and keep it moving!


2. Quit telling people your secrets when you know they are not going
to keep them! And if you keep telling them, then quit getting mad when
they tell your secrets!

3. Quit trying to pull people on your journey who don't want to travel
with you. Either they believe in you and value you...or they don't!

4. Quit complaining about things you can't and won't change!

5. Quit gossiping about other people! Minding our own business should
be a full time job!

6. Quit blaming each other for things that in the big picture aren't
going to matter three weeks from now! Talk solutions...and then
implement them!

7. Quit eating things you know are not good for you! If you can't
quit...eat smaller portions!

8. Quit buying things when we know we can't afford them! If you don't
have self control, then quit going to the stores! Quit charging
things, especially when you don't NEED them!


9. Quit staying in unhealthy relationships! It is not okay for people
to verbally or physically abuse you! So quit lying to yourself! It is
not okay to stay in the marriage for the children! Ask them and they
will tell you that they really would prefer to see you happy and that
the misery you and your spouse/partner are living with is affecting
them!


10. Quit letting family members rope you into the drama! -Start
telling them you don't want to hear it! Quit spreading the drama! Quit
calling other relatives and telling them about your cousin or aunt! Go
back to #5 minding your own business should be enough to keep you
busy!


11. Quit trying to change people! IT DOESN'T WORK! Quit cussing people
out when you know that they are just being the miserable and jealous
people that they are!


12. Quit the job you hate! Start pursuing your passion. Find the job
that fuels your passion BEFORE you quit!

13.. Quit volunteering for things that you aren't getting any personal
fulfillment from anymore! Quit volunteering for things and then
failing to follow through with your commitment!


14. Quit listening to the naysayers! Quit watching the depressing news
if you are going to live in the doom and gloom of it all!


15. Quit making excuses about why you are where you are or why you
can't do what you want to do!


16. Quit waiting on others to give you the answers...and start finding
the answers for yourself! If what you are doing isn't working for
you...then quit it!


17. Quit settling and start making your dreams a reality!- Quit being
afraid and START LIVING YOUR LIFE! CREATE THE LIFE YOU WANT! If you
want something different than what you have had in the past...you must
quit doing what you have done before and DO something different! JUST
QUIT IT ...... and START DOING something to create the experience you
want!

Motivation.....

You cannot reach the full measure of the stature of Christ in a day, and you would sink in despair could you behold all the difficulties that must be met and overcome. You have Satan to contend with, and he will seek by every possible device to attract your mind from Christ.

But we must meet all obstacles placed in our way, and overcome them one at a time. If we overcome the first difficulty, we shall be stronger to meet the next, and at every effort will become better able to make advancement. By looking to Jesus we may be overcomers. It is by fastening our eyes on the difficulties and shrinking from earnest battle for the right, that we become weak and faithless. By taking one step after another, the highest ascent may be climbed, and the summit of the mount may be reached at last.

Do not become overwhelmed with the great amount of work you must do in your lifetime, for you are not required to do it all at once. Let every power of your being go to each day's work, improve each precious opportunity, appreciate the helps that God gives you, and make advancement up the ladder of progress step by step. Remember that you are to live but one day at a time, that God has given you one day, and heavenly records will show how you have valued its privileges and opportunities. May you so improve every day given you of God, that at last you may hear the Master say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

Passage taken from Messages To Young People pg.25-26

Be Careful.....

Be careful little ears what you hear

Be careful little eyes what you see

Be careful little mouth what you say

Be careful little feet where you go

Be careful little hands what you do

Be careful little mind what you think


For our Father up above
 
Looks down with tender love
 
So, Be careful.........what you do.
Our daily goal should be to please God and show Him how much we love Him by obeying Him. Christ is holding us all accountable for the choices we make, whether it be for good or bad. - 2 Corinthians 5:9,10

Move Forward in Faith.....

A young woman took her fiance home to meet her parents. After dinner, her mother asked her father to find out about the young man. The father then invited the fiance to his study for a talk.

“So, what are your plans?” the father asked the young man.

“I am a biblical scholar,” he replied.

“A biblical scholar, Hmmmm,” the father said. “Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?”

“I will study,” the young man replied “and God will provide for us.”

“And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?” asked the father.

“I will concentrate on my studies,” the young man replied. “God will provide for us.”

“And children?” asked the father. “How will you support children?”

“Don’t worry Sir. God will provide,” replied the fiance.

The conversation proceeded like this, and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God would provide. Later, the mother asked, “How did it go honey?” The father answered, “He has no job and no plans, and he thinks I’m God.”

One thing is true about the young man in this story: he certainly had faith! We all need to do our best, work hard and live wisely, but we must also have faith in God, trusting him to see us through difficulties, show us how to live, provide for us, and guide us in the affairs of our daily lives.

Don't Fear....

"Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to to a known God."
-Corrie Ten Boom

Food Pyramid 101

How is it that the foods we eat the most aren't the healthiest of the bunch. Yet the foods we should eat more of we don't? They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit. Why not take it one day at a time try replacing one unhealthy snack with a healthier snack.

My favorite midday snack is almonds & cranberries. What's yours?

Welcome!

Thank you for stopping by to check out MBH&S!!!!!!!!! I hope you find this website useful in helping you make wiser choices that will lead to a better life for you, your family, and your friends.

God's original plan for mankind was for us to live healthy, happy, balanced lives. Sin destroyed that plan and now people are getting sick and dying from diseases (physical & mental) everyday. A lot of which can be avoided if we take care of our mind,body, health, and soul.

"We are what we eat" is not just a quote but our reality. I recently gave birth to a beautiful baby boy that I love so much. I want to be alive and healthy so I can play with him, have fun with him, and share precious memories with him. Children watch their parents and do what they see them doing. I want to I NEED to live a better life and be a positive influence to my family.

 

It is so important that we live healthy lives and keep our mind, body, and soul free from clutter. These are the vessels which God uses to speak to us his children. Our relationship with Him should be #1 and anything that distracts or hinders the relationship should be eliminated [Exodus 20:3].

A lot of the things we allow to enter our mind (via television or radio), and body (the food I eat) are not pleasing to Him and I'm sure you can agree that something must be done about it. The things we watch, the food we eat, and the environment we choose to be in all impact our lives in some way or another. These factors can also affect our mood, behavior, and attitude. I have seen first hand how what I eat, watch, and the activities I engage in alters my attitude and I must admit it isn't a pretty one. I'm ready to do something about it because God expects and deserves better and so does my family.

So join us on this journey as we intentionally make wiser choices to live a better life by taking care of my Mind, Body, Health, and Soul!
