My journey being a Christian is not an easy one. The devil finds ways to creep into my life and I fall into his tricks. I always bounce back and get back back on my journey. This year I decided not to make any New Years Resolutions but rather make a life style change. Once I decided this everything has been falling into place for me.

After battling leaving my old church that I wasn’t “getting fed” spiritually at I found an amazing church that I get over fed every Sunday. Every year for one week they do a Corporate Fast. I am so blessed to be a part of something so powerful. Our pastor explained it like this:

            People go to the gym to get a personal trainer to

help them get physically fit. Before they can

tell you what you need to change, they

have to “asses” your BMI, Height etc.

Well fasting for a week is our way of getting a

spiritual assessment on how strong we are and

where we are spiritually.

I am so pumped to be able to fast and build on this relationship with God and see exactly how strong I am and feel weak inside only to know he is there to lift me back up.

The pastor took my 2012 Resolution right out of my mouth. 1 Timothy 4:12

” …..Set an example for believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity”. That is what I want to do. I want nothing but the lords love and life to come out of me through my speech, life, love, faith and purity.

This is setting my year right and for my week of fasting I will not be eating from sun up to sun down, no electronics (except to work my 8-5 but no Internet surfing on lunch) and yes that means NO FB for a week , no tv, no radio. We are going to focus on our family, reading scriptures, family game nights and bringing our relationship closer to the lord.

I am so excited I had to share this with you and I am sorry if I am jumping from topic to topic but I am in a rush because it starts at 6 tonight so I only had an hour to blog before I have to pull the plug on my Internet!

Have a great and powerful week!
