Day 21 -- September 13, 2010

I called my best friend today and we had the best talk as we always do. I thank GOD for that woman. I wanted to share with her the new revelation that GOD had given me, Natalie you are not afraid of anthing! That was so powerful for me. But in the midst of the mandate I have realized that I must do the work, again and again. I can only see the reward after putting in the work. Fear no longer has a hold on me (by Faith). GOD has shown me a glimpse of all he has for me to do and I must say, I must take it day by day. I have vowed during this mandate to concentrate on: GOD, Family, Friends, Career, Health and Finances. In the area of GOD, I want to listen to him more, read his word more and do word studies on my seasons of life. In the area of Family, spend more time with them each week by calling or visiting. In the area of career: pursue academia and/or the Federal Government until I begin teaching full time. I will work out at least 4 times per week and eat well (no sweets, fast food, junk, bread, dairy or meats (excluding meats). I will save more and spend less. Each week I am working on my book and in 3-4 months I will have written my first book for teens: Teenage Choices: Decisions that Lead to Life! That will be the first of many to be written. I also realize its ok to pursue what I love: teaching, training, writing, investing (real estate/stocks/mutual funds/gold/oil) and being in good health. I am going to start attending Toast masters and the NSA (National Speaker's Association) meetings as well. I made my want list tonight, it includes the things I want to learn and do; its an awesome list, I will share it with you soon. Today was a good day and I know that I may not feel this way everyday; but I asked GOD how do I stay on this good path and he said, continue to fight, and do not lose sight of the goal. Each day I sit in his presence and allow him to minister to me and that too is nourishing to my soul.
