Praise In The Valley!
Today began and ended with prayer and praise- so that is a very good thing!
Coming into God's presence, where we can be restored is everything!
Side Effects
Apparently, it is not uncommon to get head-aches when fasting, or eating in a cleansing kind of way.
Yesterday, I had a little bit of a head-ache, but today, it's been persistent. I would love to have had a good coffee lol! Just for the psychological value!
I am doing this 100 days because I believe it's going to bring me through to a new place of freedom. Freedom in the Lord, freedom in my body, freedom in my heart and freedom in my thinking.
Feeling My Way?
Even tho I don't know all that I am going to do in this 100 days, I do trust I will be led by the Holy Spirit and He will give me wisdom. It's hard to explain the dichotomy of being led by the Spirit, in spite of one's flesh and actually be fruitful apart from the feelings.
For example, today, I felt kinda sluggish and lack lustre and experiencing a general sense of being a failure. Our emotions can be our biggest weight.
I beat up on myself for not being further along some road to...whatever expected of a woman in her mid 50s. It didn't feel like freedom!
God's More Sure Word.
But I also have the abiding comfort, that it is passing.
That's what God's Word does for you. It is the anchor to our soul for just such a time as this. And I know, during the process, that some days, when it comes to healing, or simply growing, are just 'blah!'. But they are carrying us, one day closer to our hoped for dawning.
One less sleep...
For all the crappy feelings, I still accomplished a task that I had been trying to get done for over a week. I also painted, rather hurriedly, a few of the Mother's Day cards I made, coz I want to share them with some special people.
And I still have good and precious people and pleasant circumstances to be thankful for. I am not desiring to complain at all...just share the journey.
This is a card I designed that causes the flowers to 'grow' as you open it.
I am happy to share the template for it, if you would like to try making it too.
So.. how was your day, today?
