MOTIVATIONAL MONDAY #7: Eleven Minutes and $100 dollars

Ah,

    Another good ol' Motivational Monday post, resurrected from the ghost of Natvice past. I stumbled across these two videos and they really touched me, warmed my heart,tickled my pickle (I'm also just a giant sucker for anything having to do with giving back/inspiring people). 

Over the past few month's I've been pretty ecstatic about the growth of Natvice and I hope to do some things like this pretty soon *hint hint*. So, get your tissues ready, it's about to get pretty teary-eyed and salty over here.

xx,

A Psalms a Day

    Lets all go on a little journey together. Recently, in hopes to read my bible more on a daily basis, I've decided to go ahead and read at least one psalms a day. I figured it'd be nice to go on this journey together, it's much easier  and interesting doing these type of things as a team. Like our own mini book club with tea (or any other snack of your choice) and highlighters and rousing spiritual discussions and the best part is we don't even have to leave the house. We can all sit on our beds, wrapped up like burritos with our bibles and indulge in the word as a united front from the comfort of our own snug and toasty homes. I'll do occasional check-ins and let you guys know of my progress and you can always contact me (or each other in the comments) whenever you want to discuss or share anything. 

So, I invite you to join me on this spiritual journey and I pray by the end of this (day 150) none of us will be the same as we were when we started, but have grown immensely in our faith.
I'm currently on day 7 now, however, I'm going to share Palms 6 with you guys today because I feel it was really something I needed and some of you may as well. I tend to use these psalms as prayers and encourage you to, too.

Palms 6:1-10 

 Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger
    or discipline me in your wrath.

Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am faint;
    heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony.
 My soul is in deep anguish.
    How long, Lord, how long?

Turn, Lord, and deliver me;
    save me because of your unfailing love.

Among the dead no one proclaims your name.
    Who praises you from the grave?

I am worn out from my groaning.

All night long I flood my bed with weeping
    and drench my couch with tears.

My eyes grow weak with sorrow;
    they fail because of all my foes.

Away from me, all you who do evil,
    for the Lord has heard my weeping.

The Lord has heard my cry for mercy;
    the Lord accepts my prayer.

All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish;
    they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

xx
