My Challenge

Last night I sat down with mike and talked to him about what was dear on my heart at the time and that was that I had the blahs, or the blues whatever you want to call them, I had it. I have ben in much thought and prayer about what to do with those feelings and how could I get them to go away. Then the other day I felt it laid heavy on my heart that it wasnt anything I could do myself but it was only by the power of God that I would get through this Long dreadful winter with two very young children and nowhere to go other than the doctors. I felt God telling me I needed to put aside something that has consumed my time more than my devotion time, and that I need to rely on Him more than just when I'm tired and stressed out. I have been feeling God tell me to pull myself away from the things that have helped to pull my down and to replace that with His Word and to search Him out and ask Him where he wants me to be. I felt God tell me very strongly to start a fast, but I didnt know what it was that he wanted me to fast, I dont feel that a food fast is what He is calling me to as my motives wouldnt be in the right place and since I'm already trying to get back into shape then that wouldnt help me to search Him out. I feel God telling me to give up something else I knew what it was but wasnt sure if that really was it.
Tonight while at church our Pastor talked about fasting abit and Challenge our Church family to do a fast for either the upcoming Yatec, the upcoming Healing confrence or just for more Spiritual growth, That is when I knew that this is what God is calling me to do. So starting Monday morning wil will be fasting Facebook. Now to some it sounds silly but for me it has been something that has helped me to pass time in the middle of the night when Titus just wont go to sleep and I feel that maybe my nights and winter would go better if I took that time that I spend on Facebook and use it to search my Jesus, to learn more about what God is doing not only in my life but also in our country with all the crazy weather and different stuff going on in the news I know God is trying to tell us something it is my job as well as yours to search out what it is. So my fast starts tomorrow and will go until spring.
My challenge to you is that if you feel blah from the winter or just life in general is to join me in this fast whatever it is that God leads you to give up for a while and to search deaper into the deapths of Jesus' heart and see where He wants to take you.

My prayer~
Jesus, tonight I ask that you would help me and guide me in this time, Jesus I want to know so much more of yo and want to know what you are up to, I ask that in this time that you would let yoru spirit glow through the upcoming Yatec weekend, the Cursios, the Healing confrence and also Lord dwell in my heart make me the woman, wife, mother, daughter, sister, grand daughter, and friend you want me to be. Lord I desire a relationship with you the same way I desire a relationship with Mike, Lord please make that desire stronger. and Lord I ask that if you call anyone else in this fast that you would guide them and be their strength as well.
I Love you Jesus and want to see you move. ~Amen
