THE MYSTIC WELL (cont.)

Lifting her load once more to her head, the old woman continued on her way as sure-footed as a young woman. Both girls could’ve sworn her haggard figure suddenly became lean and graceful as they watched her disappear into the distance with awe. Both suspected her to be a fairy, but who would ever believe them? It had always been rumored that ‘the godmother’ made her rounds during mid-year. Could that have been her?

Baffled, both girls left for home immediately. Tina got home to discover her family entertaining a visitor, a very fussy old woman whom she found annoying. Her mother called her aside, gave her a small water pot and told her to fetch some water from the spring for their visitor. “The spring? But why? That’s like three streets away! There’s water in a well two blocks away from here.” Tina argued, but her mother would hear none of it. She explained that their visitor did not drink well water and Tina was to hurry to and fro immediately.

Grumbling loudly and rudely, much to her parents’ embarrassment, Tina stomped out of the house. She did not go to the stream as instructed. Instead, she went to the wild garden two blocks away from her home and struggled further in through thorns and brambles until she found the well.

It looked so abandoned and no longer in use that she cursed before letting in the pail. As she pulled out the pail, she imagined what she’d find and prayed for jewels. If she found a necklace like Tessa’s, she would keep it for herself and become very rich. She would hire servants and no longer live with her parents or run their errands. Especially not for stinky, fussy, bad-tempered old women!

A sash can have different meanings depending on the context:

1. *Fashion*: A sash is a long, narrow piece of fabric worn around the waist or as a belt to add a decorative touch to an outfit.
2. *Award or honor*: A sash can be a symbolic award or recognition, often worn over the shoulder or around the neck, to signify achievement or excellence.
3. *Ceremonial*: In some cultures or ceremonies, a sash may be worn as a symbol of office, rank, or status.

"I FEEL CURSED"
Brothèr,

Today, we're fasting from the thought that says: "I feel cursed."

Many people feel cursed when bad things happen, or when they seem to happen repeatedly. We can also feel like if a problem or disease runs in our family, it's bound to happen to us, too. But it doesn't have to!
LET'S CHANGE IT TODAY
1. THE CURSE IS ALREADY BROKEN!
Galatians 3:13 says, Jesus redeemed us from the curse, by becoming a curse for us when He died on the cross. Identify with the finished work of the cross. Declare that the curse is broken, and you are blessed, not cursed!

2. YOU ARE OF A NEW BLOODLINE.
When you are born again, the blood of Jesus runs through your veins (2 Corinthians 5:17). Start expecting the blessing on His life to be on yours. You are a joint heir with Jesus Christ; you are His family, and His blessing runs in the family (Romans 8:16-17).

3. ADOPT A "COVENANT MINDSET."
You are the seed of Abraham. Galatians 3:29 says, when you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's seed, and the blessings that came to him, will come to you. God made a covenant with Abraham, to bless him in every way (Genesis 24:1). That promise is yours!

4. EMBRACE THE RIGHT IDENTITY.
You can choose which identity you will live out: The one your family gave you; or the one God gave you. In Judges 11:1, history called Jephthah the son of a prostitute. BUT GOD called him a mighty man of valor. Choose God's calling over your life. Stop expecting the habits or problems of your family's past to be yours.

5. EXPECT ALL THE BLESSINGS BECAUSE OF JESUS.
Deuteronomy 28:2 says, "All these blessings will come upon you and overtake you." Blessings are no longer earned through OUR obedience; they are given to you through Jesus Christ's obedience (Romans 5:17-19).

THINK IT AND SAY IT
I am redeemed! Jesus destroyed the curse 2,000 years ago. I am of a new bloodline. The blood of Jesus runs through my veins. His blessing runs in the family, and I'm His family! Through Jesus’ death, I now have access to His life. Instead of sin, I now have righteousness. Instead of disease, I now have healing. Instead of the curse, I now have the blessing. Instead of sorrow and sadness, I now have joy. I expect all the blessings to come upon me and overtake me! I refuse to accept what history calls me. I accept what God calls me, in Jesus' Name.
In God's great love,

The end justify the means

Conquering Procrastination: Unlocking Your Full Productive Potential

Yesterday we talked about procrastination and we also established a fact that it's a dream killer.

let's look at how we can overcome procrastination as individuals.

Procrastination is a challenge that affects even the most disciplined individuals.

While delaying tasks may offer temporary relief, it often leads to stress, missed opportunities, and reduced efficiency.

Here’s how to conquer procrastination and build a more productive mindset:

1️⃣ Identify the Cause
Procrastination often stems from fear of failure, perfectionism, or feeling overwhelmed. Recognizing why you delay tasks is the first step in addressing the issue.

2️⃣ Break Tasks into Smaller Steps
Large tasks can feel daunting, leading to avoidance. Break them into smaller, manageable steps and tackle them one at a time. Completing small milestones creates momentum and builds confidence.

3️⃣ Set Clear Deadlines
Without a deadline, tasks tend to get pushed indefinitely. Assign specific time frames to your work and hold yourself accountable to these deadlines.

4️⃣ Use the Two-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately. For larger tasks, commit to working on them for just two minutes. Often, starting is the hardest part—once you begin, you’re likely to keep going.

5️⃣ Eliminate Distractions
Create a focused work environment by turning off notifications, setting boundaries, and using productivity tools. A clutter-free space helps maintain concentration.

6️⃣. Reward Progress
Celebrate small achievements to stay motivated. Whether it’s a short break, a favorite snack, or time for a hobby, rewards reinforce positive habits.

7️⃣. Develop a Routine
Consistency builds discipline. Establish a daily schedule that includes dedicated time for work, breaks, and relaxation to create a balanced, productive routine.

Overcoming procrastination is not about achieving perfection but making steady progress. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your productivity grow!

Ethereum's recent major upgrade is called *Pectra*. This upgrade combines the Prague and Electra upgrades, focusing on improving scalability, usability, and staking efficiency ¹ ². Pectra introduces several key changes, including:

- *Programmable Wallets*: Allowing Ethereum wallets to behave like smart contracts, enabling features like conditional transfers and automated trading strategies ².
- *Increased Staking Cap*: Raising the staking limit per validator from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH, simplifying validator operations but potentially centralizing power ².
- *Verkle Trees*: Replacing Merkle trees to reduce data storage needs and improve scalability [7).

Pectra is currently being tested on Ethereum's testnets, with an expected mainnet launch in April 2025 ¹.
