Weekly Health Tip: Declarations
I woke up this morning sluggish, not wanting to move and motivate. As a daily habit, I make 5 declarations. I am ....I declared I would live healthy.Something happened in my spirit. It was like fuel poured into me. Other declarations had the same result. Motivation was the result of declaring what I desired and the path to take. I went for my morning swim. Every day, make declarations of your future self. Maybe you're expecting a tough day at work. I am productive. I am self-controlled. I am positive.Look at your day and make I am declarations. I works.

Weekly Health Tip: Future
Success arrives when a clear view of what you desire is displayed in your imagination.Health Wise: What do you want to see?Picture it in your mind. Maybe pull out a picture of yourself when you were at a healthy weight and display it where you view it daily.Or...You could do what I did: From my Navy duffle bag, I took out my Navy uniform that I could not wear. I hung it in my library and looked at it continually. I posted about it.Basically...I kept my "future self" image in front of me continually. And I lost 200 pounds in one year.Over Thanksgiving and Christmas of 2023, I put on about ten holiday pounds.The battle of the bulge has begun. I fix my thoughts on my renewed energy, sound sleep, and the high octane feelings I get when I'm healthy, firing on all cylinders. So, how about you? How does your "future self" look? Tell me, because I'd love to hear it.

Destiny's Phone Call
Rubbing my eyes and pulling myself from the bed, I blindly made my way to the phone. Looking at the clock and seeing it was 1230 a.m. I wondered who would be calling this late. The first sound was a familiar distant sobbing, then silence. My heart began to go into alarm as the dreaded middle of the night phone call began to materialize in my imagination then into reality. I sat in silence as the caller began her story.
"Dad, I’m hurting and so lonely. You haven’t spent time with me and you don’t care about me. You gave me things but I didn’t want things. I wanted you." As I listened, I began to pick up on the past tense of this conversation and wondered why.It became clear as she continued to speak. "Dad, I’m going to end my life tonight and I just wanted to tell you why."Before I could say a word, the phone went dead. I frantically looked at the caller ID and re-dialed the number. One ring, two rings, three rings. "Oh God please help." Four rings. I felt so helpless. My heart pounded in heaviness. Five rings. Answer. "Hello, hello", I said.
The caller was silent but on the phone.
"Honey" was all I could say when she burst into crying. Seconds became minutes in the darkness of the night. I felt any words from me would end this phone call permanently, so I waited. What seemed like an eternity was interrupted by her words of such sadness. She began to tell me of the lonely nights that she cried herself to sleep, the countless conversations she wanted to have with me but couldn’t because of her fears of rejection. I listened as she recounted the many different stories from her heavy heart.
The darkness gave way to the light as the morning showed through the windows. Hope returned to her voice and by the time she said her final goodbyes I knew she would be OK because I listened.I then walked into my daughter's room and thanked God that she was all OK and that this phone call was the wrong number.
DESTINY by my daughter, Kristina
The chill morning air brushed across my face. I woke with fear in my heart. Something was wrong, dead wrong. The feeling was so overwhelming that I almost couldn’t get out of bed. I walked downstairs to find people weeping hysterically in my living room. I ran to my mom and put my arms around her asking what was wrong but she didn’t move. It was like I was not even there. Then, I went over to my best friend, Amy, and tried talking to her but all she did was mumble something over and over again. I couldn’t understand what she was saying.
I heard my name. The voice continued, "Why did you do this? We all loved you. How am I going to make it through High School without my best friend?" she said between sobs.
My family was in the living room crying over me. Me. They actually loved me. Me. In one single moment, I had been selfish and torn a piece of their heart out. In one single moment, I had taken my life. I didn’t know they cared.I fell to the ground and cried out to God and said, "Please forgive me. I was alone. I was hurt. Please let me have another chance." I woke up. My pillow was stained with tears. I thanked God for letting me live one more day.
These stories are fictional. Each story was written separately on the same day. I and my daughter Kristina did not know we were writing stories with the same message until we read each other's story together. God is sending a strong message. He wants to touch the hearts of the lonely. We need to listen to the silent cries that are all around us before it’s too late and they pass into the night--alone.
