I have no right to get sick

Im no kleenex endorser and pardon me for a messy bed side table

A simple cold can be so annoying and one day it will get so  complicated coupled with head ache, running nose, teary eyes, sore throat and eventually cough with body aches. I wish I stopped the moment I sipped that too sweet iced pineapple lemon drink. I guess it was the culprit.Now, I'm here sneezing and with sniffing every now and then and so under the weather. I hate feeling sick. I dont have the right to get sick. So much to do with so little time. Wish I could just stay in bed and rest but have to wake up early and do all stuff expected of a wife. Its been days now and I self medicate, the cold relief after drinking the cold medicine was just for a couple of hours and I pray the 3 capsules turmeric three times a day and a lot of water  would be enough to drive the cough away. Its hard to fake being well. Wish I could just be free to be sick wahhehehe.

Made me realize things today:

1. Stay away from sweet cold drinks. Effects are damaging and annoying.

2. Let your no be no. I mean, I hate the effects of sweet stuff, but never hated the sweets per se, I should stick with no to cold sweets, but cravings are simply irresistible.

3. Drinks lots of water. It's best to really be hydrated at all times, it could prevent the thirsty craving of something cold asap, but ended up sick.

4. A rest is not the end of the world. 

5. Take it easy.
6. Claim 

Jeremiah 30:17 —

“I will give you back your health and heal your wounds.”

A month of neglect

Yay! So much to do so little time. Let’s get it on!

Finding time to remove the weeds before it chokes the plant. 

Hmmmmm; need to  remove the roots; I plan to bring batches of plants inside and do the unweeding while watching tv.  ( Is there an unweeding word in the dictionary? wahahhhahaha I'not so good with words so pardon me for inventing words)I don't watch much tv but its better doing it inside the house; the heat might affect my unweeding battle.  Getting my hands dirty is a kind if therapy; the feel of dirt and soil and the relief if pulling each weed that starts to choke the poor plants. The weeds sucked the life out of the poor cacti, they crowded the nutrient rich dirt, preventing the new robust cactus and succulents.

The process reminds me of  the weeds in my heart.Worries, doubts, fears, hatred, resentment,insecurities and a lot more. Its choking my heart. And my own confidence and own strength would not suffice. I'm so human with all my frailties and need God to help me up root those weeds that slowly choked it. 

The process. Pulling weeds from the garden of my heart.

Its uncomfortable.

Its painful.

But it's time to slowly let it go.

Time for new growth.

Time for new life.
