'07

as i had mentioned before our church was on a 21 day fast. the first few nights of it, there was prayer at the church. i went really hoping to hear something new for the year. so, over a few nights god did speak to me.

the main point was that this was a year to get it together. not to be controlled or influenced by past disappointment, discouragement, natural circumstances (ruled by emotions) , and lack of/small faith. put last year (and every other year) behind me and go for god this year.

in joel, there is a scripture about multitudes being in the valley of decision...i saw that as me. my decision was staying where i am and being satisfied with my christianity or chose to fulfill my destiny and go further...eventhough that usually means giving things up and dying to self.

it is easy to make a decision to pursue god, but what happens the next morning and the next? how do you keep your passion and zeal? in isaiah it talks about setting your face as flint...that is my plan. keeping my eyes focused on him and nothing else. encouraging MYSELF, prophesying life to MYSELF.

yes, i believe this is going to be a good year.
