May our actions match our prayers– that’s my wish for the world.
It’s 12 : 40 PM on day 2679 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Isaiah 43:19, go to church, promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised $6 826 only $5 674 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.
Today I was reminded that it doesn’t help for me to pray to God to help me do the right thing even when it’s hard if I don’t choose to do the right thing when it’s hard.
“Action expresses priorities.” – Mahatma Gandhi
It’s 12 : 36 PM on day 2087 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, have breakfast, learn one new thing – This is evidence that humans are related to every other species on Earth. The genes of organisms that look very different are surprisingly similar. For example, human DNA sequences are over 95% identical to chimpanzee sequences and around 50% identical to banana sequences. – and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – raised $5 774 only $476 more to raise before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far 🙂 ),
This morning I realized that I’m not a priority to myself I’m supposed to do stretches daily (to keep my tendons the right length) but I don’t and I’m really starting to feel its effects my legs are stiff and I feel pain in the back of my knee hopefully when I start doing my exercises again things will get back to normal (my normal anyway).
We need to talk less and do more – that’s my message to the world.
It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1551 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 36, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself egg with bread for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign–my friend, Vincent Ang owner of OArtTee, a company that creates printed original art fashion t-shirts, donated $100 yesterday (thank you God and thank you SO MUCH Vincent your support means the absolute world to me) if any of you out there are looking for one-of-a-kind gifts to give to family and friends check out the t-shirts at OArtTee on the t-shirts are basically printed original artworks it’s really cool 🙂 – make sandwiches for sisi’s neighborhood with sisi’s help -(thank you sisi Nikiwe for all your help) – and continue promoting my campaign – still on $1 190 but I am grateful for the world’s support I am grateful to have raised $1 190 for the Malala Fund so far 🙂
Today I was thinking about the state of the world we talk about hunger, poverty, HIV/AIDS and other issues facing the world and yet things are changing at a snail’s pace which leads me to the conclusion that we need to talk less and do more because at the end of the day things don’t change when we talk things change when we do.
Talk less and do more – that’s my message to world leaders.
It’s 12 : 32 PM on day 1360 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, read Psalm 47, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself bran flakes for breakfast, promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – no donations – practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings, spend time outside and continue promoting my campaign – still no donations making a difference cannot possibly be this hard no wonder some people come home after work and just sit in front of the TV caring about something and doing something about it takes your all and then some but I’m not giving up God will either bring people into my life who are willing to help me or He will give me the resources I need to help myself I just know it.
Yesterday I was thinking about world leaders today who seem to do nothing but attend summits that accomplish little to nothing it pisses me off that so much money is wasted on summits when world leaders could just have a virtual summit and use the money that would have been spent to organize the summit to fund effective education and empowerment programmes worldwide.
