STOP DRINK WATER AND RELAX


The palpitations had gotten more intense ,
My vision was blurring, I couldnt walk a few meters without standing in hot sun for some rest.
Being the logical person as I am I quickly concluded that it was almost 12 and I hadnt eaten so
that could be the cause !
I quickly dashed to a nearby fast food joint and I ordered a plate of Jollof.
In five minutes I had finished eating and was up on the move again.
Wont you relax a little after eating ? My assistant asked ?
NO I HAVE A LOT TO ACCOMPLISH TODAY SO LETS GO
I ANSWERED !

So we set off again , but the palpitations had gotten more intense , my vision was still blur and strength was fading.
With the Little strength in me I managed to get to my next destination to meet the Hotel Manager
of the Hotel we are hoping to hire to start Sunday service.
When I got there my dissapointment would turn out to be a blessing in disguise !
I was told the Hotel Manager was not around so I HAD TO SIT DOWN AND WAIT FOR HIS DEPUTY who happen to  be in a meeting that would last for about 15 minutes !

I ordered a bottle of WATER , SAT DOWN AND RELAXED !
IT WAS LIKE A MAGIC POTION !
Suddenly my palpitations stopped , vision cleared and my strength was back all in less 10 minutes !

Let me take you back to HOW IT ALL BEGUN !
I slept at 2am that morning trying to finish up a web design project I was late on , woke up at 6am (Thanks to my  human alarm Rita Arthur andsoherstorygoes.blogspot.com......eyes rolling lol !).

I had a preaching appointment at 8:30am so I got there preached till 11 and I just continued the journey, I had soo much on my mind and on my task list for the day , that I the MENTAL FATIGUE HAD WORN DOWN MY BODY TOO and apparently I wasnt about to have a heart attack or suffer a stroke as I thought I was.
ALL I NEEDED WAS TO STOP RELAX AND DRINK WATER !

Sometimes all we need in life is just to STOP RELAX AND DRINK SOME WATER !
The demands of life and the stress it comes with can just sap ALL THE ENERGY IN YOU.
BUT Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down.......Philipians 4:6-7 (Message Bible).

Relationships , pastors , husbands , wives , boyfriends , girlfriends , C.E.O`s etc ALL NEED IT !

Whether it is a short break , a holiday abroad or just a weekend at the Cinema or leisure park , we all need the MAGIC POTION CALLED STOP , RELAX AND DRINK SOME WATER !
