God is a good God!!!! (Yes He is!!!) That has been on my mind all day today. I am so busy at work - thank you God for a job!! It is so cold here - thank you God for a roof over my head, and a working furnace. I am so tired - thank you God for my babies and loved ones to keep me on the go. I have been praising God all morning. I can see the enemy trying to control my thoughts and invade my space, but I will continue to praise God not only for what He is doing, but for what He has in store for me. I began a fast last month - I don't even know the date. I gave up some of my favorite foods - pasta (including lasagna, macaroni & cheese, and spaghetti), sweet tea (McDonald's has the best next to mine and my mom's!!!), and trail mix (can eat an entire bag in 30 minutes - all 800 calories of it). Granted, I could probably stand to do without these things, but I want to focus on God and where He is taking me. I am praying and fasting for inspiration, resources to do all the things that He has placed on my heart, and just a closer walk with Him. He has shown me things, given me ideas that I hadn't considered before, and filled my heart with joy!!! So, I will press on, because the joy of the Lord is my strength (Nehemiah 8:10b)!!!!
