Wow I was very surprised you brought along Graham thank you . How? Faith ? Faith is a very powerful weapon, this last couple days aren’t the best of me. This morning I took a walk couple miles down it starts to sprinkle thankfully I wear my raincoat and it has not stop raining now with high winds. Today I have a mental day and my anxiety is very high due to of my own, I get so work up for the upcoming zoom tomorrow with 4 panels of surgeons. I have a long list that I am hoping we all can agree? My biggest fear is what if they will not grant my wish to discontinue my trachea? Also the risk what if they nick the transposed veins on my left maxillary? They are putting a piece of glass tube on my left nostril permanently for my tear duck and couple tweak and that’s it. Beauty comes in broken places articulates so many that I- and countless I have experience of my journey. My family keeps reminding me that I’m so strong “ God doesn’t give you more than you can handle “(my favorite) things happen for a reason. I truly believe there’s wrong expression of sympathy but some remarks can fell like a pity. UGHH My fog brain finally settled as I’m writing this and God says that he is here, I am holding down his right hand for me to grab ahold of. I am praying until I can feel his presence. Praying for compassion, calmness, healing, peace, strength and victory.
( James 1:17) Every good gift is from above , coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.
( Romans 12:2) And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that You may prove that the will of God is, that which is good, and acceptable and perfect .
Lord, Thou knowest my cares and my fears. Help me to turn them over Thee, who has promised to give rest to our soul’s. Grant to me now a restful spirit and a peaceful mind, and in quietness and confidence and faith to find new strength.Amen
This prayer walk is amazing and I look forward every week and thank you for the beautiful surroundings. Good bless you Donny and safe travels.🙏
Everything are good took 4 hours of zoom it’s all worth, as plan surgery Monday . We start our drive tomorrow and I check in on Sunday at Mayo. I appreciate your prayers and please pray my tracheostomy will be granted to de cannulated? As of yesterday we have not agree in a setting stone. Plan are elevation of the facial flap, forehead scar revision,full thickness skin graft for lower left eyelid mid face reconstruction, tear duck drainage reconstruction left maxillary, scar revision to decrease the tethering to left face. And my wish to be discharged to home after recovery.
Fear is that I forget to put on God’s armor every morning. Let the words of my mouth be acceptable in His sight. My tongue is like that of a horse and it needs to be bridled. Risk is me being honest with old friends in biblical theory. I must tell a friend about something I’m doing and risk their possible wrath. Loss I fear losing my relationship with Jesus. He has the ability to tell me my work was not well done. I know this is a lie but unfortunately I listen to those thoughts. I don’t fear the loss of my life because honestly Jesus has me through any Fear, Risk and Loss.
I went on a walk a while back knowing it was going to rain. I took a baggy to put my phone and AirPods in. I cranked up some praise and worship music until it started to pour down rain. Then I enjoyed getting thoroughly soaked!
I took a risk yesterday and took a chance on losing a friend, but I know it was the right thing to do so worth the risk. I followed my heart and trust God with the outcome.
Well, this was fun. Not sure who that guy is you brought along, but he has some pretty great insights. Just kidding - thanks for bringing Graham along. You asked so many questions! I'm not a fan of walking in rain, but snow is fun. Love how quiet it gets when it's snowing. As far as taking risks and overcoming the fear of taking them, I've learned so much about that in the past year when I walked away from the security of my job and took up writing again after not having written for about 20 years. The fear was pretty overwhelming at first, but as I let go of the fear, the freedom and fulfillment came to the forefront. Wow - that's a lot of alliteration - so many Fs. Sorry, it's a writer thing. Now it's much easier to try new things and take more risks because, as Graham said, I have the faith of knowing that if God directs me and I say "yes", he will take care of me. I've always believed in holding onto material things loosely. As the saying goes, "You can't take it with you." You both are great examples of stepping out in faith and then sharing how God blesses those steps. That's a huge encouragement to those who might be afraid to go in a new direction. Thanks again for the beautiful setting and things to think and pray about! These prayer walks are an awesome pause in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week. Refreshing and renewing!
Wow, loved your surprise guest you brought along this week. I loved Graham’s insight and yours also on this very topic. I’m not too much of a fan of walking in the rain, but I think I would do it if challenged. For me, it seems God has placed a lot of things on my heart within the last 3 1/2 months. The biggest challenge right now is the health and wellness journey I’m on. I did have a moment not too long ago and thought what if I fail at this, then what would people think about me? Thankfully, I didn’t dwell on that too long and realized that was Satan trying to tempt me. God also revealed to start writing and share this journey with others. To be honest, I asked, God are you sure? When God revealed the title of the blog/newsletter to me of One Day at a Time one morning, then I knew through My faith in Jesus, God would provide the insight and words to share with others. It’s a risk when you put yourself out there, but I can honestly and humbly say, I feel so blessed right now. I think I would feel worse if I hadn’t tried. It’s challenging because it takes work and devotion to do it. I’m also using this challenge as a Bible Study, and I’m learning so much. If I fail at this, I know God will take care of everything. Faith, trust, and being vulnerable to totally surrender yourself to God is the key for me to eliminate the fear of failure. We also need to be still and listen to the guidance God reveals to us. Thanks Donny and also to Graham for the wonderful video and sharing with us the beauty of nature that surrounds you. God bless you both! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh Angela, thank you so much. I would love to meet you also. The last IG Live, I was a little embarrased by having the IPAD camera sideways or upside down. I just went with it because Donny makes it easy and comfortable. I just had to laugh and I'm glad he did also. I guess that's how I'm approaching life right now. Wing it, while standing steadfast in my Faith. Let go and let God. I love to laugh. It's good for the soul. Take care and God bless!
Hi Angela! I actually had lunch with several of my cousins today, and he was there. You couldn’t tell he had heart surgery. He looked real good. They still want his heart rate down, but it’s a lot better. Thank you for asking. I was actually going to post something here. Take care!
I believe the idea of being still in the midst of the waves around me is what I have been most afraid to risk. Being still requires me to lay my expectations at God's feet. I read in my Bible study yesterday this idea of being still is being known by God. In Genesis 3:9, God calls to Adam and says, "Where are you?". In Hebrew, this question of where are you is different than when Joseph is looking for his brothers, for example. It is a more endearing heartfelt inquiry of where really is Adam? Where is he emotionally? What I am putting my trust in is that God is fighting my battles for me. In Exodus 14:14, the Israelites are asked to trust God and just be still. Knowing that all I am to do is lay my burdens at His feet gives me enormous strength and courage to love myself and then to love others. Daily, I am trying to just be still within me and follow what David says in Psalm 46:10 - "Be still and know that I am God." Praises we have a Savior that we can lean on for guidance and direction. In light of that opportunity to be in attunement with God, then I can go forward with confidence and risk!
I like to remember the promise of Jesus when He ascended into heaven, He promised to send the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in Acts 1 and 2 it beautifully describes the coming of the Holy Spirit, and for me it is comforting to know that I can be guided by Him in my decisions.
Listening to Graham, I remembered the interview he did as soon as he left Heartland when he said: "faith is this, going into the unknown". I also made a career transition when I was at my peak, occupying a board position, of course I felt afraid, but I chose to "take a risk" and leave the corporate environment to focus on academics.
I had financial losses, salary reduction, but I'm not attached to money, I'm not accumulative, so it's okay, what matters is doing what I love.
“But I, when I am afraid, will trust you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust, and I will not fear” Psalm 56:3-4
I have some fears that are being dealt with when I surrender to the Lord.
Thanks for this prayer walk and for the message.
I loved seeing you and Graham, my dream is to have you in Brazil, preferably the two of you together!
P.S.: A Brazilian writer wrote this sentence that I really like: “I have silly fears and absurd courage”. Tati Bernardi.
I took a major risk yesterday and I will continue in faith that God will show me the way. Today, I shared my heart and that was also a risk. I’m breathing my way along and being gentle with myself. Blessings all, thank you Donny and Graham!🙏🙏
Thanks Donnie for the beautiful scenery on the walk today and the surprise guest, was great seeing you two together. I’m still not able to take walks, praying that my body continues to heal so I can take walks again.
When I read the title Risk, Fear and Loss, it reminded me of how I felt 17 years ago when I suddenly lost my husband. My heart was broken with the loss, and filled with fear of not having him with me. It was the hardest challenge of my life, in fact I almost gave up, but God working through my family and friends wouldn’t let me give up. As I now reflect on that time I know my faith carried me. At that time everyday for me was a risk...can I make it without falling apart, can I face the challenges of life on my own. Since then I have learned that God is there with me, I just need to remain faithful and trust I’m on the path planned for me. Two years ago I took a risk, sold my home of 30 years in California and moved to Colorado. It has been challenging but God has shown me this is where I need to be.
Thank you for your inspiring walks and for your recent prayers. You are a blessing and safe travels on your journey to Nashville.
The unknown is a scary thing. We fear what it may bring us. We fear what it may not give us. Someone said to me once “Fear will either paralyze you or help you move in a new direction.”. God tell us … Fear not for I am near …
This absurd courage is developed daily and through our relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit, the book of Acts
shows that the presence of the Holy Spirit is like a necessary fuel to strengthen our spiritual structure, so the courage and "absurd" strength, I love to think from this perspective.
P.S.: I hope that my writing in English is understandable, ahh, I accept corrections, so I improve.
I can’t say that I have risked anything yet this week. But I’ll share with you what I shared with Graham about 1 1/2 yrs ago. The urge to move to the beach is with me constantly, every single day. The fear of the unknown is the reason that I am still here. Maybe someday I will follow through. Maybe I have been looking at it in the wrong way. Maybe I don’t stand to lose anything if a big move like that doesn’t work out. I do stand to lose friends here however. Thanks Donny and Graham.
Love the way you are sharing your prayer walks with us all. So appreciate it. Great to see you and Graham together too. Your music has been an inspiration to me. I have been writing ✍ songs 🎵 for quite a few years in the past....but never had confidence to record them. Now I have started writing again and am taking the leap into recording them! I have found a local studio who will help and support me to do this. Watching you play and sing on Instagram gave me the courage to finally do this. I'm confident in person but online stuff scares me - video etc. I risk getting it wrong.. and I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Wish I could get the nerve to play and sing on Instagram like you do. Many blessings as you follow your calling. Carole 😇
I'm a couple days late as I've been in the hospital waiting and wondering what this outcome will be. I get a daily scripture and today's just fits. Isaiah 12:2 Behold God is my salvation; I will trust and will not be afraid for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. I know God has me in his arms and will direct the doctors. God is just using this time to stretch and grow me.
Thank you Donny for an amazing prayer walk, I love your guest too . You both are a blessing to me during my recent journey to a healthier me. Isaiah 41:10. "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. Over the last 2 years we have struggled financially, emotionally with my husband physically with his injury. But one step at a time my faith was renewed and has assured me God is guiding us every step of the way. Because my husband went out of work now going on 2 years, we are being blessed with a NEW home because our home was damaged during a hurricane in 2018. Sometimes we forget the valleys are temporary. I think the one thing I’ve feared recently of losing , the one thing that only I can control ...is HAPPINESS... we need to look at the blessings we do have in this life and find the happiness in all situations... looking into my children’s eyes I always feel happiness... even though we can’t afford all the worldly things... I can give them happiness ... thank you Donny for this...sending my love and prayers to you on your new journey 🙏
I enjoy walking in the rain as long as it's not 40 degrees and rain that just gets into your bones. I also enjoy walking in the snow, especially freshly fallen snow. It's odd I never really thought about the risk I took until I started following Graham, Lynette and now you Donny. In my late 20's I left a full time job and launched my own bookkeeping and tax service. I was a single mom of 2 small boys and no family around. Trust me I had struggles but I did it and have grown over the years. I did take another big risk 6 years ago and I'm so thankful I did. You just have to keep the faith that everything will work out okay. I feel God didn't bring me all this way with all the struggles and loss in my life for everything not to work out. Thank for for another beautiful prayer walk Donny and special guest star Graham.

Is there any update on the risk you took with your friend
God is good as always and all is well 💚

Anne, God is with you and I admire you for your courage to step out of your comfort zone.
I love your laugh when you participate in Donny's lives, I would love to meet you to laugh together - I laugh very easily too!
Oh Angela, thank you so much. I would love to meet you also. The last IG Live, I was a little embarrased by having the IPAD camera sideways or upside down.

Amen! I think we forget that God invented laughter as well :)
Amen!
The best laugh is when we can laugh at ourselves!
I wasn't on the last Live so I didn't see this scene, but it must have been funny lol.
Anny, how is your cousin recovering?
Hi Angela! I actually had lunch with several of my cousins today, and he was there. You couldn’t tell he had heart surgery. He looked real good. They still want his heart rate down, but it’s a lot better. Thank you for asking. I was actually going to post something here. Take care!
Praise Jesus! Thank you for the update
Thanks Donny! It was great to see him, and I think he looked amazing just three weeks after surgery. It certainly is a praise.
WOW! What good news!
God is wonderful and his work is complete, only his time is different from ours.
With affection from Brazil

Love that quote! “Silly fears and absurd courage!”
Tricia, this has been so true in my life.
Thank God, I didn't have many struggles, but the ones I did, I faced it with great courage, courage that comes from the one I serve.
Thanks Angela - I love your perspective. It is so true! Take care!
Thanks, Anne! Take care you too

Thanks for sharing Donna,
Why do you feel you will lose friends if you move? Can't you still be friends and live farther apart?
They will remain friends. But now we get together once or twice a week. And since i would be
3 1/2 hours away, that would no longer happen.
Thank you Graham for walking with all of us on this walk. You are both loved greatly.
Love the way you are sharing your prayer walks with us all. So appreciate it. Great to see you and Graham together too. Your music has been an inspiration to me.

I'm glad you are stepping in to record your songs and hope you will share them with us one day.
For the record... I "get it wrong" everytime I play. SHHH don't tell anyone
I'm a couple days late as I've been in the hospital waiting and wondering what this outcome will be. I get a daily scripture and today's just fits.

It's beautiful to see someone in the face of struggles looking firmly at the Lord of all things, nothing happens without God's permission!
I pray for you, the doctors and your health!
Thank you for your prayers
Amen

I enjoy walking in the rain as long as it's not 40 degrees and rain that just gets into your bones. I also enjoy walking in the snow, especially freshly fallen snow. It's odd I never really thought about the risk I took until I started following Graham, Lynette and now you Donny. In my late 20's I left a full time job and launched my own bookkeeping and tax service. I was a single mom of 2 small boys and no family around. Trust me I had struggles but I did it and have grown over the years. I did take another big risk 6 years ago and I'm so thankful I did. You just have to keep the faith that everything will work out okay. I feel God didn't bring me all this way with all the struggles and loss in my life for everything not to work out. Thank for for another beautiful prayer walk Donny and special guest star Graham.
