Ready....set.....TRUST!!!!

I have recently decided, after a thorough look at my life at the bird's-eye-view age of 44, to go a whole lot deeper into my faith in God. I want to completely disappear into it. I want to take my children with me! They are teens and need to see a sold-out version of mom. They will! Indeed, they will. 

Right away I realized that I have some sin strongholds that are not going to go away on their own. Furthermore, in my own strength, I'll never shoo them away either. Ever tried to shoo an elephant away from its food source after it has gone a long time without eating? That's a good picture of the struggle I face. Every. Ding. Dong. Day.

I'll never be perfect. That's not the aim of this new initiative. I will, however, walk in increasing levels of freedom from these sins. I will do that.

Here's how I propose to: I will use this blog to chronicle my use of scripture, prayer and faith (which I will beg the Lord for) to rise above a few choice weaknesses. I hope I'll encourage you by showing you that God's way works. I know it does. I believe it. I am going to put on the armor of God and soak my head in the scriptures. I am going to fall on my face before Him. I am going to get freedom.

The areas I am going to chronicle in this blog are time management and health practices (diet and exercise). I'll share whatever scriptures the Lord lays on my heart and those which bring me strength. Just knowing that you are along on my journey will encourage me to press into Him.

I have titled this blog "God Works" because He does. His way, as laid out in scripture and in his day-to-day communication with our individual hearts about our individual lives W.O.R.K.S. We are the ones who let go of the tow rope.
