5th Day of Fasting

Im extremely proud of myself for making it to the 5th day of fasting. God is helping and strengthen me as I embark my heart's desire. I found it challenging too specially if you are on a trip because it is deucedly tempting. However if you are genuinely committed to fulfill it and set your mind, heart, and soul to it then you'll find it rewarding. The gamut of my first 5 days of fasting is a joy.

Fasting

Have you fasted before? Fasting is primarily the act of willingly abstaining from some or all food, drink, or both for a period of time. It’s an important spiritual discipline and devotional practice. The last time I fasted when I was in the Philippines, I opted not to eat meat for certain length of time. Today, while we were in our staff meeting it’s just hit me when I heard one teacher is fasting. I have wanted to do it, but I didn’t feel the urgency which I should have in the first place. At first, I questioned, “Is this truly works?”  I believe it will. I believe God is calling me to fast for a reason. This time I wholeheartedly embrace the calling with excitement and expectancy mounting in my heart. I abstain from partaking my dear favorites rolls, rice, pasta, chips and chocolates for 40 days. This will be definitely a challenge to face, but my confidence is in God’s help. God knows what’s in my heart.

Religious Interruption

This guest post from Werner Rogers




The other day while I was in the middle of watching a show on direc tv extra,, my doorbell rang. I wasn’t expecting anyone, so it was definitely a little unexpected. I went to open it and as soon as I saw who it was, I began berating myself for not looking through the peephole beforehand. It just so happens that it was a Saturday morning and the representatives from whichever church it is that comes around and passes out religious materials were standing in front of me. They fit the usual description: young, wearing plain black suits, and wearing name tags reading “Elder so-and-so”. I am all about freedom of speech, but I have always taken issue with people who push their beliefs on you like this under the pretense of “spreading the good word”. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I am I am going to believe what I want to believe. Your handouts will not sway me. I especially take issue with it when it interrupts my favorite part of the week: weekend coffee time.

My Fear Factor!

"COLLEGE STATION - The Texas A&M community is mourning the death of a football player who died Thursday in a car crash." Yahoo.

This report stunned  and feared me as I read the whole story because I had same wreck that he had, but it's not my  time yet. The gamut of fearful emotions still in me. I was scared to drive and in fact, I didn't drive for almost three weeks and definitely I refused to drive when it rains. But today, I fought my fear that was trapped since the accident and I rebuked it! It's has been several months since it had happened but I succumbed myself of this fear.   

My accident  occurred three days after Thanksgiving Day when I was driving home in a wet wet wet rainy day from church. I was driving in minimum speed approaching the traffic light  when  my truck swerved to the 18 wheeler truck that ran the red  light. All I remembered was the gushing speed of the 18 wheeler truck smashing the front side of the SUV. I heard myself screaming "Oh my GOD!" I thought about my Dad back in the Philippines who died in a motor accident that was hit by a big truck. I thought that was it! But God spared my life and I wasn't hurt at all. God has still a purpose of me that I need to fulfill. I was so blessed. My family, Boss and my co-workers were unceasingly checking on me if  I was alright! I started sharing my accident to my friends after recuperating from fears. GOD IS GREAT! Hadn't I face my fear? I will probably spending the night at my friend's house until the rain stops. I am so blessed to have such a caring and understanding husband who didn't mind dropping and picking me up. 

Making Myself Over in 2012

Guest post written by LuAnn Wilson



One thing that I have planned for this year is to spend a little more time on myself. I've let work just take over my life and I don't think that it's worth it to take it home with me. Work is work, not my life. I'm trying to just keep that in mind.



My health has definitely suffered from my workaholic attitude, so I'm going to work on exercising regularly again. Plus, eating right is also a top concern of mine. While I was looking online to get some tips about eating right, I ran across some info on a ear aid   and thought that it wouldn't hurt to go and get a hearing aid test done. I've been having some hearing problems for a little while now and weould love to get that addressed.



I'm going to start working out before I go to work in the morning as a better way to start my day. Plus, I'll be able to get in my required exercise before I start worrying about the stress of work. A lot of the time I want to just go and watch TV after work anyway so I don't think that exercising after work would work out so well
