Ginny - M2C day 35

Good Morning Girlz!!!!  It's Friday!!!!!  Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!

S - I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.  Ephesians 1:18-19A

O - The Lord has great things in store!

A - I want to live this verse everyday.  I want to have an attitude that is expectant of the good things yet to come.  I want to believe the best is yet to come.  I want to live with such excitement and joy.

P - Lord I pray I look at each day with the hope of what Your power is able to do.

update - My Aunt Lynn went back in the hospital Wednesday, and it wasn't good.  The cancer is every where including her brain.  The doctor gave her a few weeks.  She will stay in the hospital and receive hospice there.  She has gone down hill so fast in the last 2 days, I wouldn't be surprised if it's not weeks.  She is a Christian.  No doubt where she will spend eternity.  But please pray for my Uncle Robert and my cousins, Chris & Stacie.  This has been and will be really hard. 

Thank you girls!  Love you all!

M2C - day 33

Hi Girlz!!!

S - I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.  Psalm 139:14a

O - ... made for more is Lysa's point.  God loves us so much that He doesn't want to see us stay where we are.  He wants the best for us.

A - The title of today, "Why Shouldn't I Indulge?"  is something I have said before to myself.  Actually I've said it many times before.  I deserve it.  It's not going to be that bad.  I'll start tomorrow.  But all those theories are what kept the temple from being built in Haggai (day 32).  Do I want to get the job done or am i just going to bow down to my own fleshly desires?  Not giving in to cravings is a spiritual matter to me.  On page 106, Lysa said, "I craved, I desired, I thought about, and arranged my life around food."  I can relate.  Food had a much too high of priority in my life.

P - Lord please remove anything that takes away from Your place in my life.  I want to honor You.

Ginny - M2C day 32

Good Evening Girlz!!!!

Sorry to be MIA for a little while there.  No real excuse...just lazy.  I've been reading, I just haven't made it to the blog to write down my thoughts.  Hope you are all doing well!

S - Therefore, because of you the heavens have withheld their dew and the earth its crops.  Haggai 1:10

O - Lately I've been doing a lot of reflection.  Just about life in general.  Ever have those times?  I keep thinking of where I was 6 months ago, a year ago, 2 years ago, and how that compares to life now.  I've realized not too much is different.  In one sense, that's good.  I'm happy.  Life is good.  But on the other hand there are things I wish were different.  It's those things that I ask the Lord about.  How can I change this?  When I look back at this time in a year, I want things to be different.  What can I do?  I don't want to miss out.  This story in Haggai is an excellent lesson for me.  If I want things to change, then change what I am about.  Where I put my focus.  Where I put my efforts.  Am I more concerned with making my own plans fall into place or I am open and available to whatever the Lord has for me?  These people in Haggai were more about their ownselves and missed out on the blessings of the Lord.

A - Not only the world of food/exercise is it time for me to get the job done.  There are other areas of life that I could seal the deal and get on with it.  Time to tend to what needs tending to.  I don't want to come to a year from now and realize I'm right in the same spot that I was.  I want the Lord to change me.

P - Lord I pray as I begin to rebuild.  As I commit to get the job done.  I know You'll be with me, helping me a long the way.
