My 500 words day 6

The word for today is desire. What is desire? A desire is a wish or a longing for something or a particular outcome. Some desires are so strong that they ache and they move you to action. I think God loves such desires. I believe god is interested in passionate people. The scriptures say ‘I wish you were hot or cold but because you are lukewarm I’ll spit you out of my mouth.

A strong desire causes you to pursue the object of your desire.  Mike Murdock says pursuit is the proof of desire.

The desire of a lazy man kills him for his hands refuse to labor. Prov 21:25

The soul of a lazy man desires and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. Prov 13:4

Laziness is the lack of desire to expend effort; it is disinclination to work or activity.

Diligence is defined as determination, careful and persistent effort. So, desire without careful and persistent effort is capable of killing someone.

Strong desires compel you to act.

There are things you want in life and you don’t owe anyone apologies for that.

In quietness you find strength.

Don’t let failure, fear, or gossip stop you from doing what you want.

Take advantage of the power of imagination, it is a gift from God.

Don’t be lazy. Don’t be shy be true to you inner self.

Don’t be afraid of failure or success.

Take the time to see yourself in the body you want, in the clothes you want, in the house you want in the car you want.

Follow through with you plans. don’t give up because you are alone.

Do only things that will produce the results you are seeking. Don’t shortchange yourself.

Keep a picture or a write up of your desired future and keep on looking at it, humans are very forgetful.

Take advantage of the grace and excellence around you.

Be the best at what you do.

Use the knowledge you have, don’t be a fool.

Train your voice; there is nothing bad in being the best. Take inventory of your life.

Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. This is a whole lot of work. The sky is big enough for every bird to fly in so is the world big enough for everyone to succeed in. this is the day that the lord has made and I will rejoice and be glad in it. This is the day to start. Sow seeds, create dreams, start something.

My purpose is to be a role model, in health, work, family and spirit. To show people what is possible, to let them know there are no limits.

I want to give my children tools and room to be leaders in life. Teach them attitudes to live by. Help them build success habits.

I want to live life abundantly, Jesus said I have come that they might have life and have it more abundantly. I want to live in truth.

Ciao till tomorrow.

My 500 words day 5

Today was a great day. The word for today is fear. What is fear? What does it mean to be afraid?

The dictionary says fear is a distressing emotion triggered by impending danger, evil or pain whether the threat is real or imagined. It’s funny that the impending danger may be imagined. To be afraid means to be worried that something undesirable will happen.

Why do we expect undesirable things to happen to us? I definitely want good things to happen to me but I find easier expecting bad things. Is it the fear of disappointment or is it because the world is already messed us. Whatever the case we should always look for and expect good things.

Fear brings torment. Torment means extreme physical and mental pain. I don’t like the pain fear brings. Fear paralyzes to be paralyzed is to lose the ability to move. Fear causes stomach upsets. Fear makes a person indecisive. You lose opportunities when you fear. Fear is a spirit. It is invisible but it’s real. You don’t see it; you only see its effects and its results.

I have had issues with fear. And the reason for my fears where only imaginations but it felt so real, sometimes the cause of fear is utterly ridiculous. I have been afraid that God was angry with me, I have been afraid of rejection, I have been afraid of people’s reaction to my success. How can you expect something undesirable to come out of being successful? I have been afraid of people not liking me. Fear can be irrational.

God is so gracious, he knows us and knows our fears, he has made provisions to help us overcome. I read a scripture today and it gave me courage. Psalm 91.5 you shall not be afraid…  I shall not be afraid because I go to God for refuge.

Perfect love cast a way fear because there is no fear in love. How does this work?

I don’t know how this works yet but I am going to find out. But one thing I am certain about is that God has not given me the spirit of fear but he has given me the spirit of power, the spirit of love and a sound mind. 2^nd Tim1:7. So whenever fear attacks I know what to do, I show it the door because there is no space in my life for it. So my next research is to find out how perfect love casts out fear. I hope I’ll be able to find answers by tomorrow.

God has been very gracious to me today. Tomorrow would have been tough navigating my family to and from church without the car but God has made a way. One thing I kept saying over and over was tomorrows going to be great and it is.

I am grateful to God for giving my husband a safe trip. I am also thankful because my children were alright. All is well. God is good. Ciao people.

Writing lists is not my favorite thing to do. It’s always better to have a topic pre planned.

Todays 500 words have been tough to write because e I really did not have anything prepared.

My day was okay. I collected my test results and did the ultra sound everything was normal except an ovarian cyst. So why am having hormonal imbalances? I am not worried though. I’ll get over this. My first plan is to lose 10kg and then another and then another. One of the risk actors of this hormonal issues is being overweight so I’ll deal with that and let nature take its course.

How am I going to lose this 10kg, I am looking at following a low carb plan. I have dabbled into low carbs a few times but never succeeded, I think I am always double minded when I am doing low carb because of the cons. If I can just let go of the doubts and look at it as an experiment one week at a time it will really be great.

Running I actually mean jogging is part of the plan. 3 days jogging 3 days strength and one day rest.

Sleeping early is another factor to consider. I sleep late. Yesterday I slept at about 1.am for no valid reason.

I have to research the relationship between late sleep and hormonal imbalances. Whatever it takes I am going to deal with this and overcome. So here we are close to the end of my write up for today.
