Ministry?

It's day 283 of documenting 2025.

82 days to 2026!

Tell me, my friend 🤔 

Why is it that sometimes, the day doesn't go the way you hoped it would?

That's today's story.

But now, it just came to me that I didn't have a clear picture of how the day would go to begin with.

My bad 😔 

Today wasn't so bad tho...

Not entirely.

At first, it was a movie with my youngest brother who stayed home because he wasn't feeling too well.

Noon, I worked on a crochet project I had started for my friend.

Slept off for a few hours...and then finished the project.

The next time I visit, I could go give it to her 😊

That's probably today's only win.

No...what am I saying?

I started on some other projects as well! 

Just the beginning tho...the research and content plan already laid out.

Let's see how it goes.

Evening, went for the home-tutoring session and helped the girl with her homework.

We also did a few reviews of what I had previously taught her.

She's doing well...but has forgotten a few things.

I'll use the time I have here to help her out.

Okay, before we go further, let's look at today's highlights.

Then I can add my own comments and continue with the thought stream.

By the way, the book we're highlighting was written by Martin Meadows.

365 Days With Self-discipline 

📌 On Being Hungry

"Stay hungry. Be hungry for success, hungry to make your mark, hungry to be seen and to be heard and to have an effect. 

And as you move up and become

successful, make sure also to be hungry for helping others. 

Don’t rest on your laurels."

Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger

One of the biggest dangers of success is that when people achieve it, they frequently lose the hunger that has led them to demonstrate the incredible amounts of willpower and determination it took to make their dreams come true.

As a result, they run a huge risk of losing the success they’ve worked so hard to achieve.

If you don’t want to be like those people, once you’re done celebrating your success, find another source of hunger that will make you pursue new challenges and continue to grow. 

Set bigger goals, or find a deeper meaning behind your actions. Discover a new itch to scratch, to keep yourself always learning more.

Note that always searching for a new source of hunger doesn’t mean that you can’t ever be content with what you have. 

It’s not about constantly chasing the carrot, dissatisfied with what you have. It’s about making your life ever so much larger, while being appreciative and protective of what you have.

Don’t let comfort persuade you that challenges aren’t important in life.

When there’s nothing difficult that you’re striving to achieve, you will eventually lose your hard-earned achievements, habits, and traits — and along with it, the comfort that you’re now enjoying.

I'm going to admit....

It feels like I've lost the hunger to aim for something big.

I don't know if that makes sense 😪

I was working on a project called Dayspring a few weeks back and ended up with 15 letters written by God's inspiration.

For the whole of this week, I was feeling unsure on how the project would actually take form.

Then this evening, I was the most unproductive.

I went to YouTube, watched other people's lives via their WhatsApp status, and didn't even feel like messaging anyone.

My DM was a ghost town.

(Not that I'm not used to it....)

But I was making dinner and I can bet that I heard a voice saying, 

"Dayspring is your ministry".

It wasn't loud, neither was it silent.

It was like a thought that sounded louder than the rest.

To be honest, I don't know how any of this is going to go, but I know God is in control.

It seems the voice was trying to tell me that I already know enough.

I just have to act on it.

That's the problem....the acting part.

Sometimes I know what to do but don't just do it.

God help me 🙏🏼

I'll go back to my notes tonight.

I'll go back to God's Word and hear from Him again.

I feel like I've been drifting away.

Return, Duon-mind...return.

I think that's all for today's post.

I don't know what's happening in your own life...and I know that we all struggle behind the scenes, even though we appear another way.

I just want to tell you that God loves you.

You're a child of God...and He will perfect everything that concerns you.

Thanks for reading 🎀 

Although I may probably be my only reader, I'm just stacking stories and experiences.

If it's going to impact one person only, all glory to God 🙌🏼

You can read more about my journey so far...but it's a lot of stories.
