Dying to Live Right...

Happy Saturday!!!

As 2012 began to settle in, I'm recalling the nite before and first couple of days in this year. So, my daughter and I attended Watch Night Service at my church. Various Ministers prayed . One prayer I vividly remember was the dclarative to be Community Ambassadors for Christ. That 1st Sunday in the New Year, I invited quite a few people who in turn invited others. I was late because we woke up to a flat tire, but I was in the number.

As this month is winding down, I'm excited about what's to come. Every Sunday, I've bought others to church with me. Last Sunday was the "CALL" to began our 21 day Daniel Fast " Fast of the Chosen". My friends who attended that Sunday stood in Unity with us as well and took the pledge to fast.

I'm not going to lie, the first few days were hard. But as I'm reading more and examining myself more, it hit me there are alot of things I could and should be doing better. The best examination is when you figure it out for yourself.

Each day, I've been watching my behavior and responses to people as I'm tempted to go off and I catch myself. I truly wonder what would Jesus do? I'm so glad I'm human and mistakes are forgiven. It took JESUS to die for me so that I may have a chance to live with HIM eternally.

I'm dying for something sweet to drink.. I mean Baddddd.. But, I thought about it. The same way I want to indulge in something sweet, its the same way God wants me to be fully committed to him and his service. I go to church, I read my word and I share God's goodness and grace with others BUT its not enough.

I have to do better. As I continue on this journey of connecting and renewing myself with God, I'm compelled to do better!! Not only is this fast about living better and doing better..

I feel better already just by changing a few of my habits and challenging myself to just eat right.

I'm going to keep on downing this water because it's pure... It's the closet thing to God on Earth so i'm drinking UP... Gulp, gulp!!!
