DAY 101
I’ve been so lonely & sad lately & that scares me. The last thing I want is to go into another depression. I never want to be in that place again. Somehow, I’ve been allowing myself to listen to Satan’s tempting & I not as strong as I need to be for God.
Today’s challenge is to fight. I have tons of fantastic friendships here in my life & I don’t want...
DAY 100
for so long, many people have told me of how patient I am & how selfless I can be. Lately I’ve seen myself as horribly selfish in some areas & that has potentially caused A LOT of issues in my relationships.
Today, being day 100, I thought I would work on this deep rooted issue. It seems fair to have a really hard challenge after 100 days of practice. Today’s challenge is to...
DAY 99
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits - who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy, who satisfies you with good as long as you live so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s
Psalm 103:2-5
This was the best verse to wake up to & see ! All wrapped up like...
DAY 98
ta da ! such a fantastic day ! Sometimes when we just let God take over in our lives, we reap the BEST rewards - all of which we don’t deserve & most of which we couldn’t even fathom.
God’s big. God’s love. God has a plan for my life & today has proven that after the storm, there will always be a little bit of sunshine, maybe not as much as we want. But...

DAY 97
I’ve been on such an emotional roller coaster for the past couple of days, which is truly ironic because I’ve been striving toward becoming more stable in my life.
So through this strange & sudden storm in my life, I have a fantastic challenge, which will hopefully keep me on the straight & narrow path.
Today’s challenge is embrace the blessings I have today. Two days...
God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.
No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others...

DAY 96
today is one of the biggest challenges this year.
I had an awful fight last night with someone I love very much. Instead of crying all day & feeling as awful as I do, I’m going to let that go into the loving arms of God.
Today, I’m going to show love & joy. I needed that wake up call last night. I’ve become so so so so unbelievably lazy in my life & I need to fix...
I want to live in such a way that makes people...

DAY 95
We welcome You with praise We welcome You with praise Almighty God of love Be welcomed in this place
This morning in church, we sang this song, not for the first time, but I finally got it.
God struck my heart with a video I found on tumblr. of a pastor who was so convicting & he said that we fall in love with the God we hear of in worship songs. So many of us forget that God’s Word...

DAY 94
I know this is pretty late in the day, but I’ve just been so busy with today’s challenge !
Which just so happens to be… seize the day ! If we all just sit in front of our computers all day, are we truly using our lives as God has designed? Sometimes we just need to step out & actually DO things !
so that’s today. Get out of the house. The things in my...
DAY 93
Today’s verse puts all of my past challenges together & I want to strive to meeting this verse today:
Today’s challenge is based on 1 John 3:18
“Little children, let us love, not in word or speech, but in truth and action”
hmm, sounds like a challenge I’ve have before? yes yes yes it does ! But repetition is a beautiful thing & this verse puts a new...
DAY 92
Today is another beautiful day, but I’m exhausted. Today’s challenge is to be a happy student. Exams are coming up, so one would think that I’m frantically taking notes & going to all of the classes & getting ahead with my readings.
I want that to be me. But right now, it’s not. I need to focus on my grades, God isn’t going to bless me so greatly with...

the point is not to date the future… try to break up with your pride

DAY 91
I’m so blessed. I wish I could explain all of the ways to everyone & show that it PROVES so so so much God’s existence, but I don’t think anyone would read such a long post & I have to run to class soon.
but wow. It really hit me today. Hard. Especially after last night. Sometimes, it’s so easy to become dependent on a boyfriend or a parent or a best friend, but I...

my prayer for tonight
Lord, I’m slipping
I feel myself falling away from you. Falling isn’t the right word, I’m running in the wrong direction - fast. Please help me redirect myself. Show me how I can get back onto your path.
Lord, it’s tough trusting you, it sucks having to say that, but you know it’s in my heart anyways. But I do trust you because I know that even though you...
You are more than my words could ever say
you are Lord over all, over all my days
I will see the season through, I will fix my eyes on you
only you
DAY 90 - LISTEN UP !
This morning, the Holy Spirit put a cry in my heart & it is truly from God. You see, I’ve been exercising every day and watching what I’m eating so that I cane fit into a beautiful dress in 2 weeks. Well, less than 2 weeks now.
I saw the bodies of the athletes around me, the people I’m good friends with, & I remembered looking that good. I wanted it back. After being...

DAY 89
Yesterday, I performed a fitness test with a good friend of mine. She’s in incredible shape, whereas I’m still getting back to where I want to be. Clearly, she excelled way past almost all of my scores. i found this very discouraging to me & I was selfish & teased her & was not supportive at all.
While walking home, I realized that I’m so competitive that I need to...
