Fear

Live With Abiding Faith

by

“Belief is not an intellectual act; belief is a moral act whereby I deliberately commit myself.” – Oswald Chambers

Most people who do things based on faith, have always been considered crazy or impractical. Contrary to that are the people who do everything based on their understanding of a situation. Acting on the information gleaned from it. Those are the people that are considered sane and balanced.

But what of our faith life? What of believing in what we have not seen? What of blind faith and acceptance?

I refuse to live my life solely on my own intellect. I have found me to be unreasonable and narrow minded. I have found me to be small minded and do not have the capacity to see beyond what my eyes see.

I choose to live with abiding faith. I choose belief in what I have not seen and promises of joy and gladness. I choose to live free of the constraints of my fears and doubts. I choose to live deliberately committing myself to God.

Evaluate Your Thoughts and Fears

by

A special post for today, January 8th 2011

It is alright to be afraid to do something different and something new in your life. There is nothing wrong with that fear. It is a healthy, normal and intuitive fear. It keeps us from doing stupid things that lead to disaster, in general.

But, when that quiet voice in your heart, keeps telling you to do something and you keep postponing it, it is time to re-evaluate your thoughts and fears.

If it was just a passing phase, then you will go back to your life without incident and continue doing what you were doing. If it is the true voice that leads down a new wonderful path, then stop and listen.

It will come back and become insistent. It will haunt you and keep you awake at night wanting to be allowed in your life. That voice will not still until you do what you are supposed to do with your life.

Follow your dreams, even if you are scared, even if you are afraid.

Tortured Meek

by

Dear Baba Rumcake,
Sort of a silly question but, I need to start acting less meek and more dignified. How does one go about this? I seem to revert to meekness too often even when I try otherwise.

Tortured Meek

Dear TM,
Get on with it sister! Life will crush your butt.
Before I tell you how to be more assertive, I need to remind you that there is nothing wrong with being meek. The meek shall inherit the earth.

Things to try:

  1. Dress like an adult. Do not wear clothes for teens and expect to be dignified.
  2. Learn to wear high heels. Do not wear them if you are not steady wearing them. It will make you look vulnerable.
  3. Keep your back straight up when you walk. Learn to do it, do some Yoga.
  4. Keep your chin up. Do not look down.
  5. Keep your chest out. Do not be embarrassed. It is part of your body.
  6. Look in the mirror every morning and say, I am God’s child, made in His image.

God bless. Let me know how it goes.

Happy New Year 2011

by

For this, the beginning of the year, it is good to remember, that obedience to God is the first promise to be made. If nothing else, stop worrying about the effect your obedience will have on others.

God is not to be mocked. He knows. This is not news. Just do whatever it is you know you need to do and the rest will fall into place the way it is supposed to.

Nothing is more destructive than second guessing the direction that the Lord is taking you. Stop all doubts. Do it even if you are afraid. Just do it.

Happy New Year. Happy new leaf turned over for your benefit and for glory.
