Day 2242: Pray, Wait and Hope

Sometimes all you can do is pray, wait and hope  – that’s what I’ve realized.

 

It’s 11 :  49 AM on day 2242 of my journey towards independence and I managed to  have breakfast, pray, read John 14:27,  and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –   Tinuchechi donated $250 (thanks SO MUCH for everything chechi) which brings the total  raised to $8 711.04 only  $3 788.96  more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

 

Today I realized that sometimes in life all you can do is pray, wait and hope (it’s hard for a control freak like me but I’m letting go and letting God).

Day 86

You’ve got to go through hell before you get to heaven” – The Steve Miller Band.

It’s 6: 15 PM on day86 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, feed myself  Oats  for  breakfast ,listen to music on YouTube – I heard this wonderful song by Justin Bieber called Pray – it brought tears to my eyes – feed myself  Chapati – an unleavened flatbread – and beef curry   for brunch    tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for most of the day – finally after a 17 day donation drought one of my Twitter friends made a donation – thanks God I know that was you … REALLY appreciate it  🙂 –    and exercise for 15 minutes –  I felt like someone was tearing my hamstrings on purpose – I have never had a child but I bet you anything childbirth is less painful than the exercises I do on a daily bases LOL 🙂

Today morning I woke up willing to tweet for as long as it took me to get a donation but by the 20th tweet I was thinking what is the point nobody cares and at that moment I realized something that I will carry with me throughout the course of my life – the people who don’t quit – even when they want to – are the ones who will end up on top at the end of the day. Do you give up prematurely? 🙂
