DAY 131
Today’s challenge is this..
Repeat after me -
I am free
So much throughout the Bible God proclaims us as free. That through the sacrifice of Jesus, God pulled us out of our ancestral mess of Adam & Eve eating the apple & falling to sin. We are free from sin. We are not of this world. We have our minds & hearts set on the things to come, the things above, on our most Holy...
DAY 130
If you have never heard of the band ‘All Sons & Daughters’ then I strongly suggest you check them out. Every time I get in the car, I have a USB that’s full of wonderful music, the first song that plays is ‘Let it Shine’. When I woke up this morning, this song was stuck in my head & I was struck by the conviction of the lyricist.
These lyrics will not leave...
DAY 129
sometimes I pretend I’m superwoman. I can take on the world all by myself & life will be grand.
When I go off on my own, life is never as I expect it to be. I mess up. I make mistakes. I need God 24/7. I’m just too stubborn sometimes to admit that I’m wrong. Or that I need help.
Today’s challenge has been completed with this post. I need help. I’m not eating. I...
DAY 128
today, I was so late for work ! Well, I actually made it on time, like just on time & my boss doesn’t care too much about it, but I really hate being late for work. I like being reliable & on time
The thing is, I have to drive 20 minutes through traffic in the morning. Like 20 minutes PLUS traffic. It’s pretty upsetting. But today I did something I’ve never done...
DAY 127
Has anyone ever told you that it isn’t ok to be too polite? That being polite might just be a bad thing?
I’ve never heard that before, but I’m going to say it now.
This world is so polite & so diverse. I have nothing against the choices people make - it is NOT my place to judge anyone on their actions. It is my place to choose my own actions. Christians have become so...
“I’ve learned by now to be quite content whatever my circumstances....”
– Philippians 4 : 11-13
DAY 126
Today has been the craziest day weather wise ! It was cold & snowing up on the hill where I work & I just got home from a LONG morning of work (but praise God for a job !) & it’s sunny & gorgeous out !
Clearly, I’m Canadian. Our weather is insane. It’s all we ever talk about !
Anyways, today I have such a grateful heart. I slipped a little...

It is better to not move than to move without Jesus.
DAY 125
there’s just so much to do & so much to worry about - do I actually have enough work this summer to pay for my school & everything next year? Will I ever get married? Will I ever be happy? Will I actually pass that recert?
the biggest worry in my life right now is…
where the heck am I supposed to put all my stuff?! It’s a little shameful, I’ve been home for 3 days...
DAY 124
today’s the beginning of a new start ! I’m home & I am in the process of unpacking. I’m getting rid of a ton of stuff that I just don’t need because I need to give up my hoarding ways. This summer, I have this opportunity to find out who I really am & embrace that person. No one and nothing can stop me from following God’s path that he has created &...
DAY 123
good morning Tumblr ! Yesterday was a pretty fantastic day & I was able to keep my challenge in mind the whole drive through, which led to some pretty awesome discussions with my mom. I’ve missed talking about big things & feeling frustrated because I know she’s right & I need to stop being stubborn & change. I’ve missed that sort of guidance.
Today’s...
DAY 122
today’s challenge is to openly talk about my faith & all of my experiences & blessings with first my mom & then anyone else I meet who asks. I’ve always realized that when people ask how your year has been at university or how you are doing, BAM ! You can use that as a witness. But I’m afraid of overwhelming people, apparently something I do anyways without even...
DAY 121
Today’s challenge is going to be simple. It’s going to be a new beginning. Well, the preparation of a new beginning. I’m going to clean up this house, pack up my things & go home to a new adventure starting tomorrow. I want that physical action of a new beginning to signify my restart at this whole happiness thing.
I’ve been doing happiness all wrong. I was basing it...
“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for...”
– 1 Thessalonians :12-13
DAY 120
Today is my last day of exams. When I’m done it tonight, I’ll probably feel very lost because I’m stuck way up here & must wait another 2 days before I can go home. I also will have hardly any friends up here. Sounds pretty sad, eh?
To all of that, all I have to say is
Give me Jesus.
When I am alone, oh when I am alone, just give me Jesus
My challenge for today is to make...
Build your relationships around GOD, not GOD...
DAY 119
Good morning ! I woke up to this verse & I want to share it with you all as an encouragement :
“Draw close to God, and God will draw close to you.”
James 4:8
Sometimes we run so far from God that we think he’ll never take us back. God will never turn his back on you. He remains constant, which is such a hard concept for us to grasp because we’re the...
