Question 5.

  What word best describes the way you've spent the last  month of your life?

      

Stressed- 

Stress is what you feel when you have to handle more than you are used to. When you are stressed, your body responds as though you are in danger. It makes hormones that speed up your heart, make you breathe faster, and give you a burst of energy. This is called the fight-or-flight stress response.



Question 4.

In order of importance how would you rank:

happiness, money, love , health and fame ?

1. Love - Love ranks the top spot. Yeshua put a heavy emphasis on love. He said " If you love Me , obey My commands."   " Love your neighbor as yourself". "Love the L-rd your G-d with all of your heart, mind and strength."  There are many other verses on this topic for sure.
Our daily actions should stem from a heart of love toward G-d and others. We want to show love to our family and friends. We also want to be loved.

2. Health - Don't we all want to be healthy? We certainly don't want to be ill or infirmed. I can do more for those I care about if I take care of myself by eating right, getting enough rest and caring for my emotional well being.

3. Money - Let's face it, we need it. Without it we are homeless and possibly naked. We need it to buy food to live. We need it for shelter, for clothing, vehicles to get to work. As much as I dislike it, it's a must. Really

4. Happiness - Of course I want to be happy, I love it when it happens, but you know what?  Nowhere in Scripture did G-d ever promise us "happy".  Life happens, to all of us. We were assured of G-d's joy, which is not dependant on our circumstances , as is happiness.

5. Fame - I could care less! I don't need to be famous. As a child I dreamed of being a famous singer or dancer. I do however want to make an impact on those around me. To those I care about , I would like to be "famous" for having loved with all I have.

Week 1

A picture of a vehicle you would love to drive or own....

This incredible beauty is a Honda Goldwing 1100. I actually did used to ride one of these. She had a fairing with lots of compartments for storage and a killer stereo for tunes on the road. This , my friends, to me, is the Cadillac of bikes. She is smooth as silk, quiet, comfy ride, lots of torque. Who could ask for more? She also had a padded sissy bar for the rear rider and passenger foot pegs. I'll always remember her.

Or how about this beauty? The new Dodge Challenger!

Power (SAE): 470 hp @ 6,000 rpm; 470 ft lb of torque @ 4,200 rpm

The 2011 comes with a Hemi V8

I can so see me driving this can't you?

Or for fun I'd like this

 

 

The Kia Soul.

I know, you may think I'm strange, but I like 'em for some reason.

What are you dream vehicles?

Question # 1

What can you do today that you were not capable of a year ago?

A year ago the actions of some left me truly confused and was overwhelming to me
Today, though some things will never make sense, I don't dwell on them quite so much and they aren't as shocking to me as they once were

A year ago, I suffered the loss of what I considered to be some good friends
Today I realise they never really were, I've come to grips with it.

A year ago I relied too heavily on leaders to guide and teach
Today I rely on the One Teacher to enables me to walk out the traditions I love so dearly

A year ago I thought all shepherds really knew how to be just that
Today I've learned not to assume , to lower my expectations, and be very watchful

A year ago I wondered how I would observe the High Holy Days without a formal community
Today, I've learned I can.

A year ago  I thought a faith community meant a large number of members gathering weekly to worship and study
Today G-d has reshaped and redefined to me what community is ( I'm so thankful )

A year ago I thought I knew myself
Today I'm learning to me more self aware of thoughts, actions and emotions
