Six days of finding time to complete prompts set by someone else and must be posted by the end of the day; six days of finding a personal approach to posted prompts; six days of writing the first thing that came into my mind because the deadline was close at hand. My feeling are mixed the exhilaration of accomplishment, the joy of realizing that only my vain imaginings can hold me back; can keep me from achieving my ultimate desire. Each day I placed everything into the hands of God and worked to accomplish the task for today: what roadblocks confronted me during this period? I can’t remember all of them, of course; Monday’s test was it being away from my computer and sitting in a waiting room somewhere waiting for someone to help, knowing that if we did not receive the assistance Tuesday or Wednesday the electricity would be turned off, with no way to get it turned on before Friday. We received assistance and help came from another source as well; I made the deadline I wasn’t dropped from the contests, both of which my inner critic said would happen; In addition, a new era of trust began for me. For five days tests of perseverance arrived one right after another, as if God knew that my true limits were beyond the imagined boundaries I had been setting for myself. And on the sixth day my internet connection decided to act up; just another test to frustrate my inner critic when I simply reconnected again and again, and again … Tonight I enter a fresh life cycle and a new century of accomplishment, of faith in God, in my fellowman and in myself. |
