This project (EWACEO) is the brain-child of a friend.  The challenge was taken up in order to help her through a very rough time in her life.  As she struggles to come out conqueror in her battles she has been successful in many areas of her life.  She is an amazing woman with a LOT on her plate.

This woman has been constructing the lists of words that we work on in this program...however, she has been overwhelmed by a series of events and has not been able to communicate with anyone via the internet or telephone for some time now.  Hence...I am stuck.  I can't really continue with the E-words...unless I make up a list of my own.

I have been watching the blogs of others who are trying out this challenge and picked up a few words but am not sure of the order intended by the creator so I am going to punt on a few of them and then continue to wait for my friend's life to level out so she can communicate with me.

I won't reveal my friend's name but do ask that you pray for her.  God, who hears and answers prayers, knows who you mean if you just call her "Tari's friend."  He also knows her need...he just needs us to exercise faith in her behalf.

Thank you for your kindness in this matter.  I know beyond doubt that prayer works...it has great power...unimaginable power when many combine their faith. (check out all the articles when you google "power of prayer").

So, that said, here is the next word that I have chosen to work on until I hear further from my friend:

Effect     to make

1.           To produce, as a cause or agent; to cause to be. The revolution in France effected a great change of property.

2.     To bring to pass; to achieve; to accomplish; as, to effect an object or purpose.

I believe that enlisting your prayers in behalf of my friend will have a great positive effect on her well-being as well as yours and mine.

I love the idea of working together for the benefit of even one.  The blessings always wash over all who choose to show love and serve another.

Effect. What can I do today that will have a positive effect on tomorrow?  What can I do today that will better effect my attitudes?

You can see how this is work.  It takes introspection...that can be painful exploratory surgery sometimes.

I guess you can see why I tend to put this off.  "Work" is a 4 letter word!  In order for this to be of any benefit for me for the positive I am 'work'ing on changing the way I feel about the word 'work' to the desired effect of changing it to an object of desire.  (sigh) 

Gotta take a deep breath and move...

Onward and Upward :)
