Out with the old in with the new

I'm sure everyone is aware that the new year is right around the corner. So, today we are talking what to lose and what to keep for the new year. I personally find it helpful to make a list but even just a mental picture will do. Things you should think about losing are people who bring you down, habits that aren't beneficial, and all negativity. Things you're going to want to keep will obviously be prominent because they are the things that make you happy, complete your life, and benefit your health. This is good to do before making New Years resolutions. Leading up to the new year we will be talking about things to help you start the new year. So before my next post get your out and in lists ready and get excited for the new year!

Back in action!

Sadly I have been away for a little bit but I am happy to say I am back! Getting settled back in at home for break and having a surprise vacation along with holiday festivities has made the past few weeks a mess. So now that things are settling down and normal is back on schedule Daily Dose is back to daily! Yay!! I'm so happy to be back and ready to start with a fresh week tomorrow!! Everyone have a wonderful night and get ready to get your Daily Dose on tomorrow! I've got lots in store so get ready.

"Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always." -anonymous

"People are often unreasonable and self centered. Forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway. If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway. The good you do may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough Give your best anyway. For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway." -Mother Teresa

Finals

Regularly we are tested on things we know or have learned. When NASA does a final count down they are about to have their work tested. At the end of semesters students are tested on their knowledge of what has been taught throughout the term. When you are born you are put through a test of life and one day it will come to an end. Everything comes to an end and everything tests us. You can choose to let it define you or you can learn from the test and prepare for the next one. Just because it is the finale doesn't mean there won't be another movie. When things come to an end and when we are tested God is preparing us for our next adventure. Never take these tests for granted they build your strength and faith as well as you. Happy Sunday!

The Throne in Heaven 

4 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing openi in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpetj said, “Come up here,k and I will show you what must take place after this.”l 2 At once I was in the Spirit,m and there before me was a throne in heavenn with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance of jaspero and ruby.p A rainbowq that shone like an emeraldr encircled the throne. 4 Surrounding the throne were twenty-four other thrones, and seated on them were twenty-four elders.s They were dressed in whitet and had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder.u In front of the throne, seven lampsv were blazing. These are the seven spiritsa w of God. 6 Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass,x clear as crystal. 

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures,y and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.z 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.a 8 Each of the four living creaturesb had six wingsc and was covered with eyes all around,d even under its wings. Day and nighte they never stop saying: 

“ ‘Holy, holy, holy 

is the Lord God Almighty,’b f

who was, and is, and is to come.”g
