Appreciation & Gratitude: Thank you, God, for showing me the way to go. Even when it seems like I’m lost, I have hope and faith that you will show me the right way to turn. Thank you for getting me out of my funks. You always help pull me up out of the darkness when it comes. Thank you for family. Thank you for my health and for second chances. Thank you that you will show me where to go next. Thank you for comfort and providing me all that I need when I need it. I am truly blessed by your love. Thank you for your promises and your guidance. Thank you that you like that I am expectantly waiting and thank you that you say you like my tenacity. Thank you that one day everything will be clear and all things will unfold as they should. Thank you for sending Jesus to rescue me. Thank you for you incredible love and mercy.

 Q1- Dad, what will happen to me if I give up and don’t play the lottery anymore? What if I forget all this ever happened and stop writing songs, poetry, short stories, board meetings, blog… what if I quit it all? Not that I would ever do that… I am just curious what would happen.

***You have free will. You can do whatever you choose. I know you have a lot of concerns about the work I’m giving you to do. Just know that the rewards are eternal. If you choose to do the work I have for you to do, you will not regret one minute of it. You will have riches stored in heaven for all time eternal. I know it made you sad to write that question… you answered yourself in that instant. You would be sad if you gave up your passion. Why not carve out more time for it and make more creations for the blog… Don’t allow the enemy the satisfaction of tempting you to quit. That would be his greatest accomplishment if he could get you to quit. Don’t let him have that much power over your thinking. Enjoy every minute of this journey. It will be more amazing than you could ever imagine. Enjoy the ride. I know you will.  

 

Q2- Love, you are amazing, Holy Spirit! I love you and pray that you will equip me and empower me to make something beautiful out of the time I spend creating works of art… when can I start to see you work in me more powerfully?

***When you go out on a limb and put yourself out there. Then you will see me work in powerful ways. Only take the first steps in creating and I will meet you there. I can’t do anything without you first initiating the creations. Look at your calendar and designate at least 1 hour to work with me. Together we will move mountains, but I can’t do it without you. I know you are tired. Maybe we should find a time when you have more energy. Let’s try tomorrow morning before work. Set your alarm for 5am. Ok? Get to sleep soon so you can wake up early.

 

Q3- Jesus, help me. I feel so lethargic. What’s up with this?

***When you are tired, sleep. When you have energy, create art or do your business work for your clients. Don’t think too much about what needs to get done. Write it down and then try to follow your plan. If you need to move things around because of your scheduling changes or your energy supplies, then go ahead and move it around. Nothing is so urgent that it can’t be moved. Don’t feel guilt over that. Guilt will only drain more of your energy.

 

Q4- Mom, please help me get back into shape… I want to start exercising regularly again. I really miss feeling good in my body. I have so little energy, where should I start?

***Keep the vegan whole plant food low fat diet. That is healthy and if you exercised more, you would definitely see the weight loss you desire. Go ahead and start up the couch to 10K phone app again and schedule your workouts in your planner. It will cool down soon, so don’t worry. Fall is just around the corner. If you get up early and run before work, you will feel so much better. Try it tomorrow morning. I will help you get out the door… together with God, all things are possible… even this! Lol.
