"When the Situation Calls for Spontaneity..."
So I'm writing my 500 words 8hrs. ahead than my usual time . It's about 2:30 in the afternoon, Central Texas time. May be wondering why the indulgence to write is self-motivated or just gotten inspired.
Last night, I only had about two hours of sleep. What could be keeping me up till the wee-hours in the morning, I'm not sure. I'm supposed to be at school doing staff development with other colleagues and teachers and administrators. It could have been a very productive day where we usually watch an hour video in which we gain insights on how to better our teaching skills, strategies and procedures to such an impact that that they bring astounding results to children's educational needs.
I don't think that if I had decided to be at school today with my issues of constant yawning, unfocused self, droopy eyes and clumsiness is a good idea. Thank God I have many days off to utilize. One day of absence incurred since August of last year is noteworthy. So, I went with my gut feeling--to stay another day and rest and read more...Would you regard my course of action to be spontaneous or plain accidental? If you're going to be a part of a school function, being in the moment is a prerequisite to learning new ideas. You have to be 100% mentally and physically present to achieve a higher level of understanding for your sake. I couldn't render myself that needed focus today; neither maximize my strength to any given activity. I'm sure, my absence had dual blessings: more time writing and envisioning, and dreaming dreams that were already there--just need more prayers and patience and actions for these dreams to reach some stars without begging...
What else did I do to make today count? I wanted to walk/jog for 3.5 miles this morning after breakfast--that really makes my day but I don't have the full energy for what it takes to do it in stride. I don't wanna be stopping and sitting on a bench just to catch my breath. Thus, I followed what else my heart wants to do today. Funny, but I should have been napping a few hours ago but I'm wide awake. And I'm writing with the flow of my thoughts not racing against them. That's spontaneity at the moment.
So my heart has led me to read the book of Genesis-- the Beginnings= Revelations of God's plan for the entire humanity. So I started writing side notes with the help of life's application Bible (NLT), the Book of Apologetics Study Bible for students and of course my King James Holy Bible.
I tell you it's overwhelming to have this seed of passion in me needing to know more about the Cross, Redemption, Salvation and Heaven. It's my responsibility to fall in love with His Word and that's impossible to happen if I don't dig deeper. Remember, there are many people proclaiming their belief and faith in God even multitudes of Christians these days and the only way you know the truth is that to read the Bible yourself and ask for the presence of the Holy Spirit to reveal to you what you need to know. It's sad that there are many culprits preaching Christ's message of Hope barely scratched to its essence--at the surface. You may be even persuaded unknowingly to their own dispositions about the Scriptures they're explaining. To not be a victim, make sure that everything spoken especially at the altar is breathed on God's heart sentiments.
Sometimes I find myself condemned by the fact that I squandered time. Spending time wisely with the right people, with the right intentions and with the right dreams seem to have overshadowed my entire existence. I'm older now and there's a dark irony in aging. You have to work three times harder to have your faculties, your senses to be functioning well. I want to challenge myself in endeavors that I know could bring fruits to add to my being. I don't wanna deal with the myths of life anymore. Never again that I would subject myself to lose control on what really matters; who you want to sail with you uncompromisingly till the end; one that understands real commitment, integrity, family values and where does he stands on God's Word...
Well, I put an earmark where I want to stop my reading--Genesis 9:28-29 (NLT)where it says: Noah lived another 350 years after the great flood. He lived 950years, and then he died.
Think about that...It will cram you to deep thoughts. What are we doing that our mortality rate is dwindling? We're happy if we reach middle age for that matter-- with everything still intact?
I'm almost certain I'm going to bed tonight before 12 midnight. This is done. This is my pitch.
Thanks for reading and you take care always.
God Bless
