Is there anything wrong with asking for a rapid response?

Over the years I have notice an increase in my prayers for patience. Especially when I'm in a position where I am waiting for something that I really want. Sometimes I feel like there is an urgency on the inside of me that needs immediate attention giving me the feeling that I'm about to do something at the right time that will change my life for the better. I do my part but I find myself waiting for the other side to respond. In most cases, I know I'm going to get what I'm after and that's not the problem. The problem is in the wait. Most times I feel so tortured waiting for the other side to respond I have no choice but to ask for patience. The wait time consumes me and takes me to the point of stress and fatigue. I hate it. Its never any fun and I always feel my impatience causes the delay.

Well another day came and I found myself back in this space. My insides told me to, I went and now I wait consumed with when I will hear back from the other side. Just as I was about to pray for patiece, the words came out asking for a rapid response. Guilt came immediately after and said I shouldn't do that. I asked it why not and so far, guilt has not produced a valid reason of why I can't ask for a rapid response.

So boldly, I pray for a rapid response. Aman.

The Other Person

Have you ever wondered who the other person was and why they came?

I hear it all of the time. "I lost a whole other person". And it usually comes from someone who lost a significant amount of weight. Usually the amount of pounds you would find on another person.

I've been thinking about this for a really long time and I figure if you can take your weight and divide it by two and both numbers are fitting as a healthy weight for an adult, you my friend have a whole other person living on the inside of you.

It's like your imaginary friend that everyone else can see. Maybe that's why some people cannot lose weight, maybe it's not a weight issue. Maybe it's an emotional issue or a fulfillment of a need you didn't realize you had. Maybe it's your support system, your internal comforter, your protector, your...whatever. Maybe it's a response to an internal call you made in a sub / un conscious state.

Finding out how they got there is part of your work.

Look back. Think. What was going on in your life when you began to gain weight? Go deeper than that. You saw it but you did nothing about it. Why? Remember the moments you noticed the weight gain but still did nothing about it. Why? You nurtured that person into being and you allowed them to grow healthy and steady and in some cases to the point of your own demise. Bringing sickness and disease in to your own body. Buy why? Its not that we don't love ourselves but there is defiantly a reason why.

Dark Chocolate Honey Mints

Honey let me tell you. 

I saw these dark chocolate honey mints last week and I thought they would be interesting because of how beautiful the packaging is and it's name. At $3.99 a bag, it had to be good right? 

Well it was...at first but as soon as I was about to go beyond the tester bite, it happened. There was a thud that took place after all of the honey mint was gone and it went from good to 'oh my gawd what the hell just happened here'. 

I thought it was just me so I asked the boy to try and the same thing happened. I took it to work to see if anybody else would like them. My coworker came by and saw them on my desk, asked to try, I gave the warning, he said he thought I was f.o.s until it happened to him. 

Then he hid them under some papers and told me to take them back to the store I bought them from. It was a very comical moment. I laughed out loud for a really long time. 

The people at the store were great and took them back with no problem and said they get mixed reviews. Funny thing is, the manager who provided my refund has experienced the thud before as well and knew exactly what I was talking about. I love being human.
