2016!!!!

Happy New Year!!!! I am so grateful that I made it through another year! No day is promised and to make it another year with my health, my children, my family, my friends and my peace of mind is a blessing! 2015 was pretty rough. However, I learned a lot about myself and I've grown spiritually. I truly believe that this is my season. And honestly I know most people say this is their year every New Years. However, this time last year, I knew it wasn't my year! I knew I was in for a long ride. But I made it! I'm still not where I want to be but I'm closer. And I'm grateful for the lessons learned. I have made the choice to not complain about my circumstances and trust that God is working it all out for my good. This is my season and I'm excited! 

What better way to start the year than with a fast!? My church is doing a 21 day fast starting tomorrow. Now let me be honest, I have never been successful at a fast more than a couple of days. I'm giving this one my all. I need to go deeper in my relationship with God and I'm seeking him for some clear direction. I know that if I totally consecrate myself he will show up in a mighty way and I desperately need him. I will blog about my fast for the next 21 days. It's sort of my way of holding myself accountable. And prayerfully my experience can encourage others. I am doing a regular fast where I will have no food and just water from 6am-6pm. After 6pm I will eat a light meal. My children are fasting from junk food, only drinking water, and no television.  They're actually excited except for the tv part. But through prayer time together and worship, I know God will move in our lives! So here goes.... Day 1 starts in the morning!

PS... I am always very open and honest but some things will be left between myself and God.
