Have you ever been in a situation to ask (yourself, or someone supposedly knowledgable): “How can I tell from early signs of pregnancy if it’s a girl?”, or anything along the lines of “Is it true that I am having a baby girl if: my belly looks like a giant watermelon/I’m having terible acne outbreaks/sooo craving sweets” etc.

A Prayer for Troubled Times
October 15th, 2009Do you sometimes cry out to God? Do you wonder where he is and how is acting in your life? You are not alone. David in the Psalms often cried out to God. We can learn a lot from David in how he prayed during troubled times.nnIf you have a moment I would encourage you to read Psalm 13, it is a short psalm, only 6 verses. This psalm is called a lament. David is pouring his soul out to God.nnI want us to look at 3 things that David did, that we can learn from as well.nFirst, in the first 2 verses of that Psalm David poured out his heart to God, he didn’t hold anything back or sugarcoat things. David felt forgotten by God and that God was not there. Are you afraid to be honest with God, do you hide your true feelings? I often think in some ways it is funny when we try to hide our feelings from God. He knows what we are feeling and thinking all ready. David was not afraid to tell God how it was for him. We need to come to God with our bare emotions and lay them out to him and honestly cry out for him.nnThe second thing we see is David, in verse 3 and 4, petitions God for what he wants. But there is one important point we need to notice. David says God if my enemies overcome me, then my enemies will say they prevailed over God. David clearly says God do not just help me, help me so you will have the victory and you will be glorified. I find this point eye opening and convicting for me. How often do we pray God help me with this, protect my children, help my husband, make my boss nicer, etc. and then we stop right there. How different would our prayers and lives be if we said, God for your glory and to show who you are to others protect my children, help me, and so on. We need to learn to pray not just for our relief, but for God to be glorified in our circumstances. That kind of prayer has a totally different perspective.nnThe third thing David does in verses 5 and 6 is he focuses on God’s loving kindness and mercy. David recalls how God has been faithful in the past and trusts that God will continue to be faithful. He then starts praising God. In the midst of his trouble he still praises God. I have found the best antidote to worry or a depressed mood is to begin praising God. When I remember who he is and what he has done for me then my mood and worries go away. Why, because my God is big enough to handle and take care of all my problems, the big ones and the little ones. He cares about them all.nnIn conclusion, we can learn a lot from David about praying during troubled times. We need to pour out our heart’s desire to God and know that he can and will listen. It is okay to question God. But, we must remember coupled with questioning God is trusting that he is in control of our lives. We need to ask for God’s direction in our lives so he will be glorified not just so we can get out of a jam. We need to remember how God has been faithful in the past and praise him for all his wonderful mercies. nnCan I encourage you to pray differently this week using David as an example of how to share our requests with God? May we glorify God in everything we do.

A Quick Arts and Crafts Idea
October 15th, 2009Are you a camp director, teacher, or homeschool mom looking for a new arts and crafts idea for your kids? Or maybe you are a recreation director at a senior center or nursing home and could use a new project. Either way, this arts and crafts idea will be interesting and fun for all. This glasses case can be used, given as a gift, or converted into a necklace purse. To make the glasses case, you will need the following simple materials: a square of craft foam plastic or large blunt needles lanyard lace or thick yarn Cut two rectangles from the foam, each 3 1/2″ (9 cm) by 6″ (15 cm). With a hole punch, make holes on three sides of each rectangle, leaving one short side unpunched. Make the holes 1/2″ apart and allow at least 1/4″ between the hole and the edge of the craft foam. The holes need to line up so that the two pieces can be laced together. If you are preparing the craft for small children, you should make the holes yourself. At this point the crafters can cut decorative shapes from other colors of craft foam, or you can buy sets of ready-cut foam shapes. If you are doing the craft at a special event, like vacation Bible school, choose shapes that echo the theme of the event. For instance, if the Bible school or camp has a cowboy theme, find shapes that fit well, such as boots, cowboy hats and stars. Let the kids choose the shapes they like and glue on as desired. You might also like to provide beads or sequins to glue on as well, especially if the crafters are a little older. The next step in this arts and crafts idea is to thread the plastic needle with the yarn or lanyard lace. Yarn will be a little easier to handle, but lanyard lace is shiny and attractive. In a pinch, some teachers of small children use a bobby pin as a needle. It is a much safer alternative. Simply loop the yarn through the opening and use the open end of the bobby pin as if it were the point of the needle. The children can now begin to lace the front and back of the glasses case together. To turn this arts and crafts idea into a necklace purse, simply attach a piece of lanyard lace to each corner making a long handle. Kids will enjoy using this case as a place to store secret notes and small objects. If they’d rather, they can give the glasses case to a parent, grandparent, or friend who wears glasses. Spending time with kids doing craft projects is also a fun way to make gifts for the holiday season.

Parenting – In some cases, breaking the mirror with your 6 best friends is a simply a must!
October 15th, 2009We all know that not all parents are created equal. Some are good parents and some are bad parents. But good and bad parenting are results of both conscious and unconscious choices. Why so? That’s because good parents made it their choice to learn beneficial ways and methods in parenting. Perhaps they have a good upbringing as well. However, does that mean bad parents are bad by their own choice? Nothing can be further from the truth. Bad parents do also feel that they can do better and often times, they too want to be loved and adored by their children. Often times, their inability to make the transition in becoming a better parent is because they feel overwhelmed by their personal situations.
One of the major things that causes bad parenting is bad parenting. I know that sounds a bit odd but read carefully. Imagine a child growing up in a poorly managed family. I don’t mean poor as in destitute but as in poor methods of parenting. Their children will learn to become the parents they so despise. When they are young, they were already being programmed to become the parents they so dislike. Therefore, when they grow up, they too become the clone of their own parents. A total MIRROR IMAGE. Which is why, in some cases, breaking that mirror is simply a must.
Now how do you do that? Well, here are ways to go about breaking that mirror. This is best done before marriage and before deciding to have children. Always ask yourself first. What kind of parent do I want to be? What kind of a leader do I want to be for my child? Do I want he or she to go through some of the unpleasant circumstances I was born into? If I am my child, what kind of family do I want to be born into? With these questions, it will bring light to what sort of a parent you desire to become.
After knowing what you want, it is still impossible to break the mirror as you do not know how to do it. this is the time you consult your 6 best friends on earth. Namely: Why, Who, How, What, When and Where.
For example, if your situation is your own bad temper, then ask the following questions:
1) Why do I want to change and eliminate my bad temper?
2) Who do I seek help from to deal with my temper problems?
3) How can I get the most benefit from the people I seek help from?
4) What techniques should I apply to make myself calm down during a temper?
5) When to apply the best technique for temper control for the best results?
6) Where can I find more resources related to my problem?
With these 6 best friends by your side, you are on your way to breaking that old mirror image of the bad parenting traits your parents may have left in you. You will be able to break free from the ill effects of bad parenting and begin a good and happy family of your own. Of course, anything good requires effort for maintenance. Always remember, your journey to good parenting and break all mirrors will be life long and that you will need to always work closely with your 6 best friends from time to time. Good luck and may you be happy always!

How Long a Guy Should Wait to Call a Woman Back – Part 2
October 15th, 2009If you think about it, every situation is slightly different. One time you might meet a woman in the morning at coffee, and another time you might meet a woman at a club at 1 in the morning.nnIf you wait too long to call her back, I think you run the risk of seeming like you’re just using a technique on her and you come across as a player who’s trying to do your thing on her.nnWhen deciding how long to wait before you call or email, I think it’s important to ask yourself this question:nn”What will likely increase the attraction in this situation?”nnHere are a couple of ideas I have used with great success:nn1) Email instead of calling first. I personally email the next day. I’ll start with a charming email to get the conversation started and then tell her that I’m going to call in a day or two.nnThis has the effect of making contact with her relatively quickly, but still creating anticipation because you haven’t actually talked.nn2) Call the next day, and make a joke about the situation. I might call and say, “Yeah, I was watching Swingers and they said to wait three days to call, but I was kind of in more of a one day mood…”nnIf you didn’t get her email address and you must use the phone, just do your best to avoid being average.nnI personally believe that our attention spans as humans are getting shorter and shorter.

Get Gifts For Seniors On Line
October 15th, 2009If you have incessantly wanted to learn more about gifts for seniors, then get ready because we have all the information you can handle. Buying gifts for young people is easy. Clothes, jewelry, posters, concert tickets and other luxury items are great for young people. Older people are not so into the frivolous gifts that young people love. When people reach a certain age, they’ve accumulated a lifetime’s worth of such items, so it’s more difficult to come up with ideas for gifts for seniors that express your thoughtfulness. If you find yourself scratching your head, trying to come up with a gift idea that your older friend or relative will truly enjoy, here we have seven ideas for gifts for seniors that will hit the mark. Seniors are often on a fixed income and cannot afford to buy anything frivolous. When you combine ‘fixed income’ and ‘frivolous’, you’ll see that what many younger people consider a necessary expense, does not agree with the senior’s definition. Anyone over the age of 50 is eligible for an AARP membership. While it costs just $10, membership entitles the member to discounts on hotels, medicine, car insurance, as well as free tax preparation. AARP offers a number of other benefits, specifically geared to the needs of seniors. Visit the AARP website and see for yourself. If the senior on your gift list doesn’t have an AARP membership, this makes a very thoughtful gift. Many seniors suffer from a lack of entertaining activities. As we get older, chronic medical conditions can really put a bite into mobility. A magazine subscription can be a perfect idea for gifts for seniors with medical conditions that limit their mobility. Just because they can’t get out and jog every day, doesn’t mean that mental stimulation isn’t a valuable resource for staving off boredom! A good magazine or two, in their areas of interest, provides many hours of reading enjoyment. Remember, too, that mental stimulation helps to ward off Alzheimer’s! Prices being what they are, on almost every consumer good you can think of, puts a huge damper on seniors on a fixed income. While you might never know, your senior friend or relative may not be able to buy a pair of gloves to warm her hands and ease her arthritic pain. Maybe a blanket is just worn out, but the senior’s budget won’t stretch for a new one. Gift cards, from a department store or grocery store, make terrific gifts for seniors.nnWhat an exciting way to begin this composition, now let us take a look at what else we can learn about this topic! Music may be a luxury out of the reach of many seniors. They may love music, but can’t afford to buy a CD, much less a CD player. If you know their taste in music, burn a CD from selections from your favorite online music service and tie it all up with a big bow and a CD player. The price of produce is approaching that of gold, to a senior on a fixed income. They may need to forego purchases of food in order to pay for required medicines. Fruit baskets make excellent gifts for seniors in this situation. Make a large basket, filled to the brim with fruits. You might consider replenishing this basket each week or two. Young people may complain about vacuuming and cleaning out the tub, but it’s just a disliked task, rather than an impossible task. Among the possible gifts for seniors, a cleaning service gift can help lift the spirits of an elderly person who’s just not up to the work more than you’ll ever know. Likewise, a senior in their own home with a yard to maintain, may just not have what it takes to mow the lawn and weed the flower beds. Find a dependable local person who can do the upkeep on a weekly basis. These ideas for gifts for seniors are simple and practical. Your teen-aged sister would doubtless prefer tickets to a concert or an ultra cool sweater. Grandma and Grandpa are different people, at a different stage of life. They’ll surely appreciate your thoughtfulness. When we are tought something new, we continue to be smarter. Therefore, reading about gifts for seniors has already assisted your “knowledge base” more than you know.
