Strength in my Weakness

So, as I wrote before I’ve been feeling… “blah” all day. I just thought it was all of the rain.

Then, as i was blow-drying my hair, I noticed my underarms looked… weird - swollen. I took my temp.: Fever, again! Now I know why I haven’t felt well the past couple of days. I haven’t just been uninspired - I’ve been sick.

But, tomorrow is Sunday… at C3. So, I need to be well. It will get me over my case of the “blahs”.

There’s a wealth of inspiration to be found there.

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that you had thought could never by yours.” Dale Carnegie.

The mission, the love, even the struggle… these things inspire me - they give me strength… even when, physically, I’m so far from it. Mother Teresa wrote:

There are no great things, only small things with great love. Happy are those.”

So, I will find my happiness, inspiration, and strength in these things. She (Mother Teresa) also wrote:

Many people mistake our work for our vocation. Our vocation is the love of Jesus.”

How inspiring! The Word explains it well in 2 Corinthians 12:9:

He told me, ‘My grace is enough; it’s all you need. My strength comes into its own in your weakness.’ Once I heard that, I was glad to let it happen. I quit focusing on the handicap and began appreciating the gift. It was a case of Christ’s strength moving in on my weakness. Now I take limitations in stride, and with good cheer, these limitations that cut me down to size - abuse, accidents, opposition, bad breaks. I just let Christ take over! And so the weaker I get, the stronger I become.” (The Message)

Peace.

Tuesday Morning…at home

Normally, I would be in meetings this morning, but I got a reprieve…

I just needed to stay in and be a homebody this morning - clean my house, do some laundry, “veg” a little.

I think all the drive-thru windows while traveling are taking a toll on me…so, I just feel yucky.

But, some housework, lots of water, and some real/whole food will fix me.

I watched a YouTube video of “Super Size Me” just to be reminded…

The fast-food industry really doesn’t care about our health…that’s up to us - but, I won’t get on my soap-box again today (I feel too sluggish and drained…).

It feels good to mop the kitchen, but WHITE TILE!!! - what were they thinking (the former owners who remodeled the kitchen) - they must not have had messy people/animals living in this house like we do now…Seriously, I don’t know why I even bother. I should just let the tile get completely dirt covered and tell everyone it’s new brown tile…

I can’t wait until lunch…I would love to try the new “Designer Greens” restaurant at Waterford that Andrea mentioned - Byron and I definitely need something green and unprocessed…it’s going to be lovely!!! :-) - I don’t really care where we go, as long as it doesn’t involve a WINDOW!!sunflowers in switzerland

Gotta go put on another load of laundry…I’m going for a personal record today!

Eat something real - you’re body will thank you. :-)
Don’t sunflowers just make you smile?

Smile, and be blessed today.

Peace out.
