Spiritually hungry or thirsty? Part IV


Spiritually hungry or thirsty? Part IV

So, how full did I become or was I honestly full before? For sure, I crave a piece of peace after sampling the three main courses of forgiveness: God ---> Self--->Others. This piece consists of no restrictions, for anything or anyone. The sweetest indulgence includes:

1.      Taking turns in turning towards challenges by recognizing them and acting upon them without surrendering: Strength. Self. Spirit.

2.      Love God above all things and everyone.

3.      Be more of a doer than a hearer of virtuous words.

The latest action points/thoughts (Hint: “I” is no longer allowed here. We learn how to love, who to love, and how to approach and evaluate the people that imitate love in our lives.):

Day 18 (August 4th): Invest your time in Bible study. Find groups that lift/share your spirit, leadership skills, and lifestyle. Avoid busyness that will keep you from an introspective living.

Day 19 (August 5th): Ask God to help you become an example of a virtuous life. Do you know anyone who lives or lived in such matter? Walk with them. Learn them. Listen to them.

Day 20 (August 6th): List people in your life that are difficult or not difficult to love. Consider their lives and needs. Consider their failures, hardships, and achievements. Ask for help or listen to those who may require your help.

Day 21 (August 7th): Consider your spouse or significant other. How important are they to you? What is your attitude towards your partner? How is their spiritual life? Professional life? How are they intertwined? If you are single, ask God to prepare you for a relationship.

Day 22 (August 8th): Consider your relationship with your brother/sister. If you have no siblings, consider your friend, next to kin or neighbor. How is your spiritual relationship with them? Ask God for encouragement to remain connected or to grow closer to them.

Day 23 (August 9th): Consider your parent(s) that raised you. Was it a strained relationship or fulfilling, loving, and influential? Send thankfulness for all hard times and good times. If parents are deceased, think of others that are spiritually influential. How is your family structure? Weak or strong?

Day 24 (August 10th): Think of the children in your life---your own, friends, nieces, nephews, or others. How do you influence them? How are you teaching them wisdom? Share God and goodness with them to shape the next generation.

 

May I take a sip please?

PAD Challenge Day 27: 🎂 Cake 🎂 and Eat It Too

PAD Challenge Day 27: Write an an anapodoton poem. Cake and Eat It Too  Life is not always berry sweet full of confetti, rainbows  and butteflies in our circle of life. It can sprinkle unfortunate surprises. We can receive lemons after lemons  in a dark black forest of medley roses, even when our hearts are red velvet. Anywhere there's an Angel, a Devil will try to cake up; Get rich off your Godly confections. Kind of ice cold to say, Vanilla and Chocolate  will never always have a fair  share of what rises and pans out. The entanglement of the swirl  is just as incompatible and conflicting. No matter the number of layers, some will be handed corners, others more centers of it all. No matter how small, medium or large; Short or tall; Buttercream is not always  creme de la creme to us all. But we must keep a glaze  on God's miracle whips. Keep whisking the  ingredients of prayer  and supplication to bake  our special purposes on Earth. D'ElegantOne

PAD Challenge Day 30: Don't Be Surprised

PAD Challenge Day 30: Write a surprise poem. Don't Be Surprised  If the sun's full round face becomes a square  in between patches of scattered clouds.  If the moon no longer opens the night and  the stars no longer dance around your head. If the birds don't hold a tune  and the caterpillars never cocoon.  If the ocean doesn't wave and  the trees don't stare back at you. If the ones that loved you today,  hate you tomorrow. If the favorite voice you once heard goes weak and can no longer speak. If the lips you once french kissed,  harvest a new passionate tongue of deceit. If the arms that knit your heart close,  cut your heartbeat thread loose. If the one that was quick with a vital  hello is the first to ghost you with no excuse. If the one that painted a rainbow on your face,  widely draws in the color blue to make you cry too. If family becomes strangers and  friends more like family. If friends become lovers. If you wake up alone, remember  time is of the essen

PAD Challenge Day 22: What I 💜 About My Sister-Friends

Image
PAD Challenge Day 22: Write a "What (blank)" poem. What I Love About My Sister-Friends  I have three older than me. One is 49.  She could be President  but she's an Oprah and  First Lady Michelle to me. One is 47.  She is the carribean carnival of life. Teaches me to never think twice. One is almost 43.  She can set a flame of excellence throughout an entire community. Then there are three; the same age as me. One is an Aries too. Adventurous, independent and empathic like me. Two is cool water, loyal and assertive.  Three is Vogue and creates things you've never thought you would see. Four of us together,  we're like the Louisiana's holy trinity. But what I really love about my sister friends is their unconditional love, and transparency. We even have the same positive energy. We can show our wounds, share our woes,  cry, laugh, defend  and be our authentic selves without feeling like frenemies. D'ElegantOne
