FOR AS A MAN THINKS

What’s up wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this message meets you well. Today is a beautiful day! Thanks for checking out my blog today.

So, I wanted to share something that is helping me daily. Your thoughts and how they impact your life. It is not a secret that our minds rule our lives. By this statement I mean. What we think about most of the time is what we get in experience. How does this relate to you and me? Here’s how it does. See, if we pray to God for a blessing but think about the struggle, we won’t see or enjoy the blessing. The way we truly enjoy the blessing is by changing our mind from the place of struggle and pain to a place of blessing and enjoyment.

We think in pictures and God answers us according to our faith. What does faith mean? Faith is believing God at His word and acting as if what we’ve prayed for is already ours and we have possession of.

It all starts in our minds. We can’t trust God for health and think disease and sickness.

The scripture I share with you is this:

What will you think about today that can change your life? How will you use the words of this scripture to change the pattern of your thoughts? Here’s what I am going to do; I’m going start thinking on purpose. I’m going to trust God at HIS word and dance like all my pains are gone.

I hope this blessed you!

Don’t let anyone steal your joy!

SHARING ITEMS GREAT FOR MOMS AND BABIES FEATURING MOMMEDTECH

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely friends. how are y'all doing today? I hope y'all are having a great today and are not letting anyone steal your joy. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life! Today is a beautiful day!

I love how unique my intro is and I think I'll keep it 😁.
As a mom, life is not about me anymore and I think that's okay. I know I speak for most moms when I say that my needs come last and my kids come first EVERY TIME! There are downsides to putting yourself last but most times it's what you have to do to keep your home peaceful.

I love buying toys and items that entertain, challenge and teach my little ones how to be interactive and share. For a second there, I was thinking about what toys to get for my kids and then I received an email from mommedtech.com about a collaboration. Which was just what I needed. They have a variety of fun toys for kids and other items that are practical and developmental also. Such as their baby scales, doodle mat, wall growth chart, Dinosaur bubble gun and many more. The coolest thing about mommedtech.com is that mom is not left out. They have ovulation and pregnancy strips and kit for moms to be. I personally think that you should check them out!
My kids don't want to put down the dinosaur bubble gun. I have been having to break fights over that thing. They also love the beach and bathtime play set; which has multiple pieces that they each can play with. I filmed a whole review video that is now live on my channel. In this video, I did the unboxing, the test trial and everything you'd expect to know before buying a product. Please check it out.

I hope you enjoy the video. Comment below to share what your favorite item on my package was. I am very excited to know.
Until next time.

DOES ANYONE ELSE ENJOY GROCERY SHOPPING AS MUCH AS ME?

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. I hope this blog meets you in great spirit and health. Today is a beautiful day and I'm super excited to be doing one of the many things I love to do. I love to write and share😊.

Do you know how much I love going grocery shopping? Have I ever expressed it to you? Well, I absolutely love going grocery shopping. The days I get to go grocery shopping are days that I look forward to. Does that sound weird to you? I don't know if it's because I'm a wife and a mom or maybe because I love getting out of the house😊. You know, to think about it, I think it's because I love cooking for my family. I always love it when there's a variety of fresh produce and supplies in the house for me to cook. I love cooking. It's one of the things I could do all day everyday!

So, my sweet family and I went grocery shopping a couple of days ago and it was fun for us as usual for the most part😂. Zoe was a little upset initially because my hands were free to carry her but instead I chose to put her in the boggy. Oh for those of you who don't know, Boggy is what grocery carts are called in the south lol. It took me a second to get used to calling grocery cart boggy but here we are😅. It's come to my attention that every state or country calls it something different. What do you call grocery carts where you're from? Please share, I'm very curious to know.

We followed my list; well, for the most part lol... Y'all, I NEVER follow my list! Are you like me or am I just irresponsible😝😝? Lol... My husband often tells me it's a waste of time, for me to spend all that time writing a list, that I'm never going to go by😁. He's right,  but I like to feel unlimited in what I can buy. This is often my explanation. Moreover, It keeps my mind right and legs gliding💃💃, knowing I can buy anything I desire. That's the mindset I'm intentionally living by and God has been faithful to make a way.

I'd like to encourage you to always think positive and abundance regardless of what your current experience may be. Don't go off your list, try to follow your budget but with the mindset that abundance is yours.

Thanks for stopping by again. I hope you have a great day.
Here's the video from our shopping trip:

Until next time,

THE KIDS EXPERIENCE AT THEIR FIRST VACATION BIBLE STUDY

Hello wonderful, amazing, sweet and lovely people. Hope this post meets you well.
 Today is a beautiful day and I'm coming to your screens a little late. Although it's been a very hot day in Hampton, Georgia, we are so thankful we get to experience another beautiful day😊.

So, the kids participated in Vacation Bible School this year and I was one big proud mama. Le'Veon was so well-behaved, that he was commended as the most well-behaved kid at VBS😊. Zoe on the other hand, was the most interested in joining the choir😅.

One very notable experience during the kid's VBS is when Le'Veon refused to say this particular line the pastor taught them. After every "God is good," they were asked to say "Yee Haw." Le'Veon said "no," that he it's wrong to say  "Yee Haw," because that's what a Donkey says and he didn't see a Donkey but a pig and a cow behind the pastor. That was his reasoning for refusing to say it. I tried to convince him that it's a different sound but that didn't work. My kid was over there correcting me and refusing to follow everyone else. It was so funny and amazing at the same time. My kid is very smart and won't follow what the crowd is doing, if he believes what's been said or done is wrong. I LOVE THAT! It makes me so happy that I am doing something right.

I participated in all of the activities with them and it was so much fun.  You know, I kind of think that I had more fun than the kids did 😬😬.
They learned about Jesus,  and what He suffered to bring us salvation. They also learned a few new songs and did some crafts.

It was such a blessing watching my kids learn about God in a Cowboy themed VBS, alongside other kids. My heart was so full of joy and gratitude to watch my son; Le'Veon, act in such a well-mannered way. It was so awesome that I almost shed a tear of joy😇. Zoe was so into the music, so much so that she was dancing and choreographing along with the choir and everyone else. It was such a beautiful sight to see.

I can't thank the church crew at Lovejoy Family Church enough, for organizing such an amazing event that my kids got to be a part of. It was truly a blessing to experience with my kids.

I filmed a little bit during the weekend. Here's the video:

Thank you for reading this to the end. I hope you made some fun memories with your kids also.
I have added a few more pictures from the event below.
Thank you for being a part of my world,

Sincerely,
Maryam
