WITHIN 90 DAYS EXPECT YOUR LIFE TO CHANGE FOREVER!
DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL YOU BECOME IT!
For something to become a habit, it typically requires focused repetition on a daily basis. Usually 21 to 28 days later, your disired outcome goes from your mind to your heart, from making yourself do it to running to it. That's exactly what happened to me the first time I did this challenge in the fall of 2019. Allow me to share a little more.
I’ve always believed in God and had a great respect for Jesus and loved the ‘Jesus stories’. However, I’ve never really studied the Bible, certainly not on a daily basis. My Bible was more of a precious momentum that sat on my coffee table. So what led me to take this sudden interest in the Bible?
Looking back, I now realize, I didn’t have the wherewithal to know I was in the grips of depression. I was numb, isolating, not eating or sleeping for days at a time and telling everyone I was ‘just fine’. Sure, I maintained my day to day responsibilities and commitments, but any kind of peace or joy for life, was absent. I don’t know why I began to cry out to Jesus. Maybe it was because I was now alone or maybe I returned to my roots. It doesn’t really matter. What mattered was that I found a little more peace, a little bit of strength and a kind of calm. It was enough to keep me going and was drawing me into a wanting for more. I began to run to Jesus, first thing in my waking hours.
Today, I understand that Jesus always hears my prayers, he always answers them and always provides for my needs, in the present moment. Jesus is way above my comprehension of lovingness and faithfulness. How cool is that!
Jesus is always working with me and processing me through all the events going on in my life. I’m given the choice to grow into my potential, as God, our Heavenly Father, had initially intended. I love walking and talking with my brother Jesus
My only role is to trust God with my life. Listen for his direction in every situation. Stay humble in the world and help all the people God sends into my life, unconditionally. What a beautiful way to live!
