"Just keep on keepin on." :)
This is the final week of my 21 day fast/consecration. I've learned so much about just letting go and trusting God that it's not even funny. Once again, I've found that when I fully trust this situation to Him, good things happen. When I start worrying and doubting, things don't go as smoothly. However, prayer works, kids. I've slipped up a few times over the last few weeks, but I know I'm forgiven if I only ask for it. God has been dealing with me about certain habits and He's giving me ways out of them. He even says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that you will never be tempted beyond what you're able to resist. That's reassuring, but at the same time, a little disheartening... because I'm realizing now that I could have resisted certain things... But "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). It's a daily battle sometimes, but God is showing me what's wrong/right, revealing truths to me, surrounding me with some pretty amazing people, and building up my tolerance. And that pretty much rocks my face off.
Good things are happening and I'm taking notice. :)
I now have in my possession a book from a friend of mine... She's very convincing sometimes... In fact, I'm not exactly sure how she suckered me into this one. I won't tell you the title, for fear that you'll judge me... but it starts with a "Redeeming" and ends with a "Love." Do'h! ;)
“Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” - Matthew 26:41 (emphasis added).
With love and patience,
