FEAR IS THE OPPOSITE OF FAITH

Good morning my blog!

       Whew! It's another day again. Pressures are striking me. The ticking of the clock is quite moving too fast. Deadlines are arriving... But, I can see the beautiful sunrise of the sun outside the window. Probably, that gives me  hope. That is when I have unconsciously uttered "Thank you Lord for this another day!"

        Fear is the opposite of faith... Fear is the opposite of faith... This set of words repeatedly comes into my mind even when I was asleep. I don't know why. Maybe because I have been to anxious about lots of things. I want my heart to absorb those words--that when you have faith that all your needs will be met in perfect timing in the perfect way, there's no reason to feel afraid. But how could I be able to practice it? Hmm... Pray! Just a prayer may do I think. Probably I need to meditate on Bible and read Chuck Swindoll's Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life later on. Having such inspires me somehow. 

         But... something really bothers me. Honestly, I am still sleepy even though I just have an eight-hour of sleep or less I think. Probably, that's because I haven't had a continuous sleep. Paputol-putol kung baga ang tulog ko. Actually, I have been feeling a hunger even in my dreams. Oh! I remember last night that I have just eaten only chicken pie and milk as my dinner. I was not feeling well that night so I have not been able to eat rice. They would say that I need to gain some weight because I have been too skinny. My weight is not proportion to my height. My body mass index has been categorized as underweight. Hey! That's one fear of mine I need to overcome--the fear of being fat. That could be phagobphobia. When one is phagophobic, he/she is afraid to swallow his/her food because of his/her fear of being fat. I have been chubby during my high school days and so I have been very conscious about my weight. Well, anyway, that is past and I want to forget that past. I need to focus on the present. Fear is the opposite of faith! Probably I just need acceptance of myself. There's nothing wrong about being fat. They say that I am actually not that fat but I just need my weight to be proportioned with my height. Everyone is unique and has his/her own distinct beauty. Acceptance is the key. Wait. I am feeling very hungry now. I think I need to say goodbye and see you as I write a slice of my life here again!
