There are several topics that I want to discuss today, but most are negative and since I am trying hard to keep a positive state of mind I will digress, lol!! But seriously have you ever fasted or refrained from doing an act for a specified amount of time. Others may have laughed at you or thought you quite odd, but still you pressed onward.
Well that is what I thought about recently. I saw a Muslim brother and sister fasting, I think it may have been what they called Ramadan or something (if you really want to know- you can Google the word sucka) but the sister was second guessing her self about fasting. She wanted to dress like American girls and wear make up and tight jeans. The brotha looked at her and asked if she recalls the feeling the day she is able to end the fast and eat her favorite dessert. She replied that strawberry short cake is her sweetest joy. The brotha explained the because of her being true to her cause and fasting she would experience a joy that others would never know. She looked down and smiled and said she understood.
But how does this apply to us, you wonder. Do I really need to explain this? O.k., here we go. What about the time you attend school when tired, work a job that pays you nothing, stay with a man/woman who know little to nothing about relationships or keep working with your unmotivated kids. Because we know in the end, if we don't tire out, we 2 will reap the sweetest joy that we could never know if we give up.
So what ever your albatross may be, don't give up because if you are reading this I know you are in my circle and I believe in you. Sucka, don't let me down. Ay-ight?
