Confessions for 2014: Other than the obvious of me eating entirely too much during my pregnancy, 2014 has brought many struggles that I will be dealing with over the next 21 days of my fast. This year has been one of spiritual struggle. I have let some very earthly things in the way of my seeking of Christ. One of those things is my phone and on my phone..Facebook. If I have to be honest, I have spent about 90% MORE time on Facebook than I have in my bible. Yes I said 90%. This has not only been a disservice to me and my walk with Christ but also to my family and my church. In ministry one has to be prepared for the spiritual battles that come with it. One can only prepare by way of wholeheartedly seeking the Lord. I have failed to do that this year. While I will NEVER say that this years hardships outweighed my blessings (because that would be a bold face lie!!) I will say that this years lack of health has taken a toll on my faith. In todays sermon at LC, Pastor Craig said Faith is messy! And yes my friends it IS! Im messy, why would I think my faith would be any different. There are several other struggles that have been brought my way and for those I ask for prayer from anyone taking the time to read this far. Struggles that the enemy is using to try to destroy me. One of those struggles is pain from the very slow healing process of my 5th cesarean as well as migraines from an uncontrolled blood pressure due to postpartum preeclampsia. This pain has had me on pain medication for too long. For those of you who know my history and know what I had to overcome, you know that this for me is UNACCEPTABLE. While I am still suffering with pain in my incision and still disturbed by the migraines, I plan to deal with this issue while the pain is still present. Believing fully that God will heal and the devil can.. well.. back the hell off!! (And I mean that literally) Messy I tell you! My faith is messy! But.. my spirit doesnt lie. My spirit, that inside me which is grounded in TRUTH, tells me that I am already healed. Im struggling to believe that in my flesh so I will be taking my struggle and my messy faith to the Lord whole heartedly over the next 21 days. My fast will not only include some earthly eats that have held me in bondage but also I will be signing off of Facebook during this time. Its time to seek the Lord. And Im so ready! I will probably have Randy post some pictures of my precious angel and maybe even a story or two about Wesley Kate since Im sure he wont stop being adorable and she cant go three weeks without saying something hysterical and post worthy. But other than that... Ill see you in 21 FACEBOOK!! Prayers appreciated!! ❤️you all!
