Exciting New Beginnings!

Well, July 1st is when we will begin our 30 day journey of the faith dare!  I'm so excited to see how God will transform each of our lives through our fasting and dedicating time for Him EACH day!  I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed to be honest, but I know that a LOT can happen in 30 days!  I just have to keep telling myself that Jesus is the ONLY reason I'm here.   He's the only reason I wake up with a purpose, to know God and make him known! 

I am sitting here praying for each one of you.  I pray that God will fill your heart with a desire to be faithful to this study for 30 days.  We can do this, through Him and His strength! 

So what we're doing, is each day, we're reading through that day's section.  They are about 4-5 pages each.  VERY short.  There are 4 short sections: Praise/Prayer, and Truth/Dare.  The praise and prayers are usually scripture that you can pray out loud or in your head.  The Truth is from God's word speaking on the theme of that day.  And the Dare is what you apply during the day.  I would choose one dare and focus on that.  She gives 6 things you can take away from the lesson, but personally, I can't focus on that many things at once.  Then, I'd love for each of us to try to comment on this blog at least 2-3 times a week.  It can be brief.  Like, "Man, God is really stretching me in the area of realizing His strength and power and how that affects my daily living."  It can be short and sweet.  Just get involved!  : )  This will encourage us all to keep going.  I won't be posting every day, but will do my best to post often! 

So, grab a cup 'o joe, get into the book, and pray that God would grow and stretch you!
