MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

THREE DAYS

A lot can happen in three days. From life to death to resurrection, humiliation and pain to glory and majesty, mortal "man" to "return to" God, Christ made the greatest sacrifice of all and in it the difference for us to be able to have eternal life instead of eternal death. His resurrection three days after His death is the only reason we can come to God and have a chance at "new life", our sins a crimson stain "washed as white as snow". Through His suffering He bore the weight of the world upon His shoulders, demonstrating unfathomable love, the "death" of one "man" the saving grace of all mankind.

Father, I thank You for such Love. It overwhelms and inspires. May we never forget and seek always to be living examples of Your Power and Grace. In Jesus' name, amen.

2013 | Day 89: REALISTICALLY EXPECTING MIRACLES

MOTIVATIONAL OF THE DAY

REALISTICALLY EXPECTING MIRACLES

Today those thousands of years ago was a MIRACLE. The events that transpired were UNbelievable and yet they HAPPENED; it canNOT be disputed. LIFE itself is a miracle and one to be CHERISHED, valued above even the most precious of things. Life RESURRECTED, a SECOND chance at giving it another shot, is to be valued even MORE, PRICELESS beyond measure and the most AMAZING of miracles.

Rising from DEATH – shedding of the old skin of the life lived before, life breathed from within the heat of the flames of the fire, rising majestically from out of the old – is nothing to be laughed at. A SECOND chance is nothing to turn your head from. The chance to live AGAIN is the ultimate blessing.

Just as dying for the sake of another is the ultimate SACRIFICE. Yet it was KNOWINGLY done, another miracle altogether and something few would be willing to do, CHOOSING to give their life for another, let alone those they do NOT know. But HE did, and because of that, we are given a chance at SALVATION, a shot at ETERNITY

We have been given a GIFT, a miracle. We have been shown that NOTHING is impossible when you stand on the side of He who created life. We have been given the greatest miracle of all – life. We should make the MOST of it, using the life we have been given as an EXAMPLE of His glory, realistically expecting miracles, as we living, breathing proof of one.

You might not believe in miracles. How can I NOT? I have lived many, seen many, and experienced such revelation of them, that I know NOTHING cannot be UNconceived in reality. Every moment air is drawn into your lungs is a moment of OPPORTUINTY for a miracle to transpire, so always keep your soul OPEN for it.

Day 113: Dutch Almond Butter Cake

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE OF THE DAY

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." - John 3:16

TRAINING

None - FORCED myself to resist the urge to allow myself to do even cardio! So very hard!

COMMENTS

Sleep - Time and Quality: ~2 hours, if that. Could NOT fall asleep last night/this morning, up and down and in and out of bed for hours, tossing with being so hot, burning up when everyone else was wearing LAYERS.

Mood/Aggression: Calm.

Energy: Pushing it down so that my body can have some rest.

Mental Focus and Clarity: Even though I went back to bed mid-morning I could NOT go back to sleep, and I've actually accomplished a lot today, surprisingly.

Recovery: Giving my body what it needs.

Other Notes: I made a Dutch Almond Butter Cake today - for tomorrow. It's my most favourite cake and it's the first time I have made it (I'm not a baker and have to be in "the mood" for it - much like I am with stuff like gardening, LOL). Anyways, it's already Easter in New Zealand, so going to ring the family again soon, but wishing everyone a Blessed Easter no matter where they are. Without this day in history (or those preceding it), we would have no chance at Eternity!

Favourite Quotes

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." - Philippians 4:13

"TRUST in HIM, who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think." - Ephesians 3:20

"Look back and thank God. Look forward and trust God. Look within and find God! God closes doors no man can open and God opens doors no man can close!" - Unknown

"'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.'" - Jeremiah 29:11-13

"Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. IMPOSSIBLE is nothing. How are you going to live your life?" - U.S. Army

"I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shacked by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions but I drink them in and swallow them away to the blackness of hell. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak and kills their heart from inside. If I fall... I will get up. If I am beaten... I will return. I will never give up... EVER." - Nike

"The biggest risk in life is to risk nothing at all." - Anonymous

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. As we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence actually liberates others." - Marianne Williamson

"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." - Theodore Roosevelt

"It’s not about what you’ve got; it’s about what you DO with what you’ve got.” – Andie West, Step Up 2: The Streets

"To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift." – Steve Prefontaine

"Never, never, never, never give up." - Winston Churchill

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done! Now, if you know what you're worth, then go out and get what you're worth. But you gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody. Cowards do that and that ain't you. You're better than that!...until you start believing in yourself, you ain't gonna have a life...Cause if you're willing to go through all the battling you got to go through to get where you want to get, who's got the right to stop you? I mean maybe some of you guys got something you never finished, something you really want to do, something you never said to someone, something...and you're told no, even after you paid your dues? Who's got the right to tell you that, who? Nobody! It's your right to listen to your gut, it ain't nobody's right to say no after you earned the right to be where you want to be and do what you want to do!...You know, the older I get the more things I gotta leave behind, that's life. The only thing I'm asking you guys to leave on the table...is what's right." - Rocky Balboa

"Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength." - Arnold Schwarzenegger

"Nothing in the world is permanent and we are foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we are still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it." – William Somerset Maughan

"There comes a time when you have to stand up and shout: This is me damn it! I look the way I look, think the way I think, feel the way I feel, love the way I love! I am a whole complex package. Take me... or leave me. Accept me - or walk away! Do not try to make me feel like less of a person, just because I don't fit your idea of who I should be and don't try to change me to fit your mold. If I need to change, I alone will make that decision. When you are strong enough to love yourself 100%, good and bad - you will be amazed at the opportunities that life presents you." - Stacey Charter
