Sometimes in life, there are challenges that come our way and it’s sometimes difficult to stay positive. But it is important that we don’t find ourselves too disheartened even though things aren’t going to plan. Keeping track of our mental health and ensuring that we don’t end up feeling miserable and disheartened constantly is essential. Challenges are sent to try us, and many of us can breeze through them knowing that everything will be okay. But unfortunately, we are not all yet that way, and we may need some help in staying positive. Here are some ways in which you can stay positive throughout even the most challenging times, and insure That we aren’t following a path to depression.
Make a plan
Making sure that you have a plan to overcome the challenges, ensuring that you have your appointments, such as hearing test written down and organised, that you manage your time effectively and don’t have too many interruptions when it comes to carrying out your plans, and ensuring that everybody knows what it is exactly you are planning on doing, will ensure that even though you are facing challenges, you should be able to overcome them over time, and ensure you come out the other side in a positive and happy way. Of course, we can’t plan for everything, but you must make sure that if you can plan for things, then you should. This will bring you a sense of control even if you don’t have full control over the situation in hand, ensuring that you have control of how you act and how you plan things effectively, can really help you through the tough times.

It isn’t selfish to take some time for you and ensure you are well taken care of because when you are taking care of that means you are able to help others as well. Which is a great thing all around.
Do What You Enjoy It’s easy to get wrapped up in the things that we have to do, and the basic tasks that we need to get done every day, but it’s also important to ensure that you take time out for yourself, and do what you enjoy every single day. Whether it’s playing a game, calling friends, walking the dog, or anything else that makes you feel good, because when you are focusing on the happy things in life, the struggles and challenges become less loud, and you find yourself in a much better and stronger place to be able to overcome these challenges.

In collaboration with LEV3L Digital, Bubblingwitheleganceandgrace.com had the opportunity to screen and offer a giveaway of the film I STILL BELIEVE, starring KJ Apa as Jeremy Camp and Britt Robertson as his wife Melissa; and Shania Twain and Gary Sinise as his parents. The movie opened March 13th and became the number 2 movie opening weekend and number 3 movie overall. However, the movie was rushed to video on demand March 27, 2020, following the shutdown of theaters due to the pandemic. The movie is now available on Digital, DVD, and BLU-RAY.
I knew a little bit about Jeremy and Melissa Camp’s story but there was so much more that I did not know. I rock out with Jeremy Camp’s music and his songs are from the heart and uplifting to your soul. Please make sure you have your tissues handy when watching this movie because you will be laughing and crying. I held off as long as I could before I started crying while watching this emotional movie. The love that Jeremy had for his wife is inspiring and deeply moving. I will not be sharing any spoilers so no need to fear.
The trailer for I STILL BELIEVE sets the stage of a young man bound for college and meets this girl who he is mesmerized with and can’t get out of his head.
The actors recreated the Camps’ story with perfection and the emotions were like a roller coaster ride journey. You feel the hopes, the ups, the downs, and all the feelings in between so be prepared for the ride.

I hope you are having a great day and that you are staying well. It is hard to imagine but my hubby and I have been working from home for almost seven weeks and will continue for at least another four weeks. It is truly a different world then it was just two months ago. We have experienced a variety of emotions on this rollercoaster that we have been riding known as COVID-19. Life has taken us on a wild ride with many ups and downs. We had to learn to adjust our family times and work schedules and to find out what really are the important things in our life.
It is in times like this that it is important that we are wearing our seatbelts when riding that rollercoaster. The proper seatbelt will keep you in place and keep you from being tossed around and being hurt. The seatbelt for our life right now, and always, is God’s Word found in the Bible. God has given us His Word and His promises. God said He would never leave you nor forsake you, that He would watch over and protect you and that He would keep us in all of our ways. All of these promises and more can be found in the Bible. It is such a comforting thought to know what God is for you and will always be there for you.
Getting rooted and grounded in the Word of God is what every Christians should desire for his or her life. It may seem like a hard task to achieve. However, if you have the right study tools it becomes quite easy to accomplish and the results will change your life for the better. One of those tools that we recommend would be the Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible by Gene A. Getz.
This new Study Bible provides the user with useful tools to strengthen your walk with God. You will find QR codes that take you to YouTube videos for a more in-depth discussion on the topics. You will find key verses already highlighted for you. For a more in-depth review of the Bible, click HERE!
In partnership with LEV3L Digital, we recently hosted a giveaway for our readers, where one person would win their very own copy of the Life Essentials Interactive Study Bible. We are pleased to announce that the winner is Natalie.
Congratulations, Natalie! We will be in touch with you about getting the Bible to you. YEAH!
Stay tuned for our next giveaway, coming soon to our blog.
