    My 21-Day Challenge to You

    My sweet friends! Happy, happy new year! If you are anything like me, these last two years have not been easy. I think it's easy to say that most (if not all) of us are feeling a bit weary after all that we have walked through. But the Lord has really encouraged me to shake off the discouragement and He has filled me with hope for this coming year! I encourage you to let the Lord refresh you as you step into 2022. I am starting this new year off with a 21-day fast! I am creating space for the Lord to speak and am praying very intentionally about a few things. I would love for you to join me as we usher in this coming year! In this episode, I talk about how the Lord will reveal pieces of His heart to us so that we can partner with Him in them to see change happen. The 21-Day Challenge: Create Space for the Lord: Set aside 15-30 minutes each day for the next 21 days to be with the Lord and pray. You can also join me in fasting as well (from social media, something the Lord places on your heart, or a certain food-related fast such as the Daniel fast!)Create a Battle Plan & Pray: Write down 3 things that your heart aches to see change in. I encourage you to choose at least one world-wide or widespread issue as one of your three. What big thing has the Lord burdened your heart with that you so desire to see change in? Do you want to see abortion end, sex trafficking end, a certain nation to be saved? Write it down! Then choose two other personal things that are weighing on your heart right now. Maybe it's a broken relationship or a job you really desire or a healing you are contending for. Now, write down 5 people to pray for. I encourage you to choose at least two people that you do not personally know. These could be celebrities who are not walking with God, someone you know from social media, a politician. The Lord is no respecter of persons and I have seen Him work miracles through my prayers for certain celebrities! Then choose three other people that you personally know that you want to be praying for.Take Communion Every Day: There is so much power in the finished work of the cross! Seal the deal on all that you are contending for by pleading the blood of Jesus over each person and situation. You can take a small cup of juice and a small cracker or piece of bread. Or you can order a set of communion cups on Amazon (I use them every day!). Your words are powerful! And our God is strong and mighty! He is in the business of miracles. Let this challenge stir up your faith and watch as your giants fall! Communion Prayer Example: HOLD THE BREAD IN YOUR HAND AND SAY: Dear Lord Jesus, I come to You, and remember all that You have done for me on the cross. Thank You for loving me so much, You gave up heaven for me. Thank You for allowing Your body to be broken so that mine might be whole. As I partake, I receive Your resurrection life, health, and strength. By Your grace, I shall be completely strong and healthy all the days of my life. My eyes shall not grow dim, nor shall my strength be abated. No sickness can remain in my body because the same power that raised You from the grave flows through me. By Your stripes, I am healed. [Now eat the bread.] NOW HOLD THE CUP IN YOUR HAND AND TELL HIM: Lord Jesus, thank You for Your precious blood. Thank You for washing me clean of all my sins. I stand before You completely righteous and forgiven. Your blood has redeemed me from every curse, and today I can freely receive all the blessings that crown the head of the righteous. Amen!

    How to Get Through Hard Seasons

    Over these past few months, I have walked through one of the toughest seasons of my life. My life went from the busiest it had ever been to being completely debilitated by an illness. No one anticipates tough seasons. We never expect loss or heartbreak or sickness or sudden life events. God never promised us that things would always be easy but He did promise us His Presence through it all. NO weapon formed against us will prosper, that's a promise! As you are walking through this tough season, let me ask you one question: are you giving yourself grace? Or are you finding yourself feeling weighed down by the standard that you have placed on yourself? As I have been navigating this tough season, I have realized that I had unrealistic expectations of myself.  I expected myself to be able to accomplish all that I was able to do prior to getting sick. I began beating myself up for needing to take time to rest and having go of a lot of obligations. The truth is, when things change, things need to change.  We need to lower the bar. Lower the standard that we have placed on ourselves. We need to partner with God's rest and let HIM walk us through this season. In this episode, I let y'all in on this last season of my life and all that God has been teaching me through it.  I pray that no matter what season of life you are in that you would let the God of Peace lead you. That you would truly let go of all control and fully enter into the rest of trusting Him.
