It Is About Being Fit

Hello Everyone,

The way to make it through life's ups and downs is to get fit and you have what it takes.    Life is like a boxing match, you have to stand flat foot and strong so you won't get knocked down = FAITH, you have to watch and be vigilant so that you will not get sucker punched = DISCERNMENT, if you get knocked down then get up = LEAN ON GOD, bob and weave when rounds of hard blows are coming your way = WEAR THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD, protect your vital organs by tucking, pivoting and stepping to the side = KEEP GOD'S WORDS IN YOUR HEART.  We have to be fit mentally and spiritually and it takes an everyday walk, some days the walk is lonely, some days it is long, some days it is grueling, but keep on walking with the Lord, the more we walk the more fit we become.

No Home For Injustice

Hello Everyone,

I want to announce that starting April, I will begin bringing awareness to various news and events of injustice starting every 4th Wednesday of each month to allow the word time to get out about an injustice.  No Home for Injustice is the title of this segment of the blog.  There are so many cases that are not brought to the forefront and they need public attention.  Advocacy is what I have done all of my life and it is something that is my purpose.

I will bring to you stories from around the world of injustices.  Change must begin somewhere, but how about with us.  We must change our attitudes about what happens to others and not always feel that it has nothing to do with us.  We can start to at least care and say a prayer for those that have been hurt by injustice.  As the great Dr. Martin Luther King said in his letter from the Birmingham jail, what affects one directly affects us all indirectly,  this is not an exact quote, but it is close.

Injustice is wrong and it takes awareness and people willing to speak out, write lawmakers, walk the streets in non-violent protest to make change.  If we knock and the door is shut in our faces, we should knock again, if we knock again and the door is shut and then locked, we knock again. 

I hope that you follow every month.

I like to close each blog with a video of meaning.

Until next time,
Oreadea

Let Children Speak, You Just Might Hear Something

Hello Everyone,

I did not expect to write again tonight, but there is a message that I need to send.  I very recently spoke with a girl that shared some deeply hurtful feelings about some very personal things with me.  All I did was ask her what is wrong? She just appeared distant all of a sudden, so, I just asked. I did not expect much, so I thought that I would just see what she would say.  Well, what a surprise that one question opened up a door of pain and sadness for her.  She shared so much of her inner feelings that all I could do was listen.  I honestly thought that she would brush me off, but a part of me thought, it was better to ask and get brushed off than to not ask and something is really wrong.

Here is my message, for those adults who are reading, we must realize that children are people with problems of life too.  Sometimes we take their youth for granted and we feel that their life experiences can be measured, but that is soooo wrong.  Some children have experienced unspeakable things that damage and impact them in ways that would make us cry rivers.  We must take time to pay attention to signs and listen to give children opportunities to share what is on their minds, it may need addressing.

In times of stress, we all need a positive word and need to ask God to give us a sense of peace..  So, I dedicate the video to every child, every woman, every man that is hurting. 

Till next time,
Oreadea
