#17.1 - A Blessed Day
That's what the day turned out to be.
Started it with a run.
Not a personal best for sure. But it was a good one since I learned just how tough my resolve was: not so much.
I could see the finish line up ahead, I desperately wanted to get there, my mind was screaming for it but my body did not follow through. And I let it!
It was painful seeing my aspiration crushed caused I couldn't take on more pain. This experience was as scary as it was revealing. I'm about to 'Challenge' myself. Literally and Figuratively. I know very well it's going to be tough, with no one holding my hand, with no way out. The only way through would be for me to take on the pain and keep going, without the loss of momentum!
Mahn! I'm scared! If this is all my resolve would get me, then I've got a lot to worry about.
But, I'm going to do it anyway. I'm conscious of it. Even more so now. I'm putting myself in a position of preparation for what's to come. Even though I know all the preparation's not going to be enough, I know I'm more than enough!
But that was my run.
The rest of the day went by speedily. I did not get much work done. I did make celebratory posts for my birthday though.
to the long ones and the short ones
to the tough ones and the easy ones
they're only worth it because of the people we share them with.
salud!
My toast to myself and the people in my corner—and I've been blessed with the best of them.
Emmanuel arrived. Got some underwear. Ate Mum's sumptuous meal again and then we checked out.
I've received a couple of birthday wishes, prayers and messages. All, most appreciated. A couple folks have also attempted to put a call through—this, even more appreciated. But I say attempted because I have for the most part failed to answer and/or return the calls. I've been feeling overwhelmed with the thought of calls—actually, work—but it feels like calls are a trigger for that.
Either way, I met a very pleasant surprise of a birthday cake waiting for me at home. Yes, I was surprised. To Idara!
I've just read my Bible—Ephesians 2:1-10 again. My interest is simply understaning. Understanding and Actualisation.
I'm not concerned with how long it takes, only that it comes to pass.
I'd read my book but I'm now making such huge yawns that I just might swallow the table in front of me.
Well,
Cheers for now
