Good Morning Girlz!!!! It's FRIDAY!!!!!!!! Yay that Ryan's stone is small!
S - Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
O - It's almost like it's a priviledge. Since we are part of "the club." We get to focus on things above. We get to not worry about things down here. I guess I need to tap into my membership a little more and take advantage of the perks :)
A - Things above...kingdom work...bringing glory to God...being holy as He is holy...love...serving. Is this what my day really looks like, or is my mind clouded with other purposes?
P - Lord I pray that the things above would be the first on my heart and mind.
Have a good weekend everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ginny - M2C day 14
Good afternoon Girlz!!!
S - I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. John 4:35
O - Don't get distracted. Open your eyes and see.
A - On page 51, Lysa says, "Only Jesus can do this." That line spoke to me today. I invest in many other things and people looking for identity and confirmation. Only Jesus can do this. I go to food for comfort. Only Jesus can do this. I try to perform well or look good to boost my self-esteem. Only Jesus can do this. Only Jesus can do this.
P - Lord forgive me for turning towards other things and people to find satisfaction. Open my eyes please that I may see the field in front of me.

Ginny - M2C day 13
Good evening Girlz!!! Karlyn I am about to pee in my pants with excitement over your race!!! And how fun that you are doing it with your sisters!!! I will be cheering y'all on all the way from West Texas!!!
O.K. on to Lysa :)...
S - Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. 1 Timothy 4:15
O - When it says "give yourself wholly to them," ... I never thought of it this way before, but yeah - don't kid yourself! Face the facts. See it for what it's worth. Don't short change reality by skipping around the truth. In other words: NO EXCUSES!!!
A - Oh girls, I am the Queen of Excuses!!! I can totally convince myself why I "deserve" that sugary treat! When I read today's entry I was reminded of where I was in life the first time I read this book. I was dealing HARD with my love of baking. Why would this be something to "deal with?" Well, because baking means sweet things...cookies, brownies, pies, gooey bars...all the yummy stuff and I loved to go to Wal-mart by all the cheap off-brand stuff, come home and let the hours pass as I baked and baked. It was fun. I was so happy just being in my kitchen. Well, the caloric intake began to out-weigh the good that was coming from these baking sprees. I was eating way too much of all these goodies. I knew this was a problem, but I didn't think it was fair! Lord, why should the one thing that brings me such joy, the one thing I can do that doesn't cost a lot of money, the one thing that entertains me, the one thing I am good at...cause such detriment to my healthy goals??? Why should this one thing, be the one thing I have to give up?
I was giving excuses so that I could continue to bake and as Lysa says on page 48, "Excuses always get me nowhere fast." Now, I still bake - it truly is something I love, but rereading this passage today made me realize just how much work the Lord has done in my life in this area - ALL GLORY TO HIM! I am not struggling with this near as much as I was almost a year ago. That is Jesus changing me and growing me. I've got a lot more to go, but I just want to stop and say THANK YOU for this victory!
P - Lord thank You, thank You, thank You for getting me through my baking issues. Thank You for caring about small things in life...like cookies and brownies...and helping me through the journey. Lord, I'm not there yet. There are many other hurtles to overcome, but I thank You for this one today. I love You!

Good evening Girlz!!!
S - Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him. Psalm 34:8
O - He is where we should turn, not to a false comfort found in food, people, shopping, naps, and on and on and on and on.
A - The Lord has been teaching me a lot about not taking the easy route. I've got to work for what I want. Giving the minimum amount of energy towards eating healthy, work, housework, etc. is not being a good steward. I was meant to do more than just coast through. Lysa speaks a lot about keeping our eyes on the end prize and working towards that victory.
P - Lord I pray that You continue to open my eyes to areas and issues that I need to give more effort in, and that I would be determined enough to put forth the work and effort to do a job well done for Your glory.

Good evening girlz!!!
S - Let us then approach God's throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
O - God is ready to give us the grace and mercy we need to get through the rough times.
A - It's so hard to keep my eyes on the long term goal. I want the here and now. The immediate results. Perseverance can be so hard.
P - Lord I pray for strength to see the good and the value in what I am doing now and how that will help get to the ultimate goal. May I rely on You and Your Word when I want to give up. I pray for strength to keep going.
