Day 2

Ok so I am a little late on todays blog!!

Day 1 was a success!! No cravings or hunar AND I lost 4 lbs!! You wouldnt think NOT eating like a fattening hog cause you to lose weight.

As I did my 30 min this morning, I used that time to talk to God. I tried to focus my mind on God and talk with him about my 3 goals. As I talked I began to realize I am no more mature as a christian than I was at age 13 when I was saved. I still feed on the manna. I am 44 and still a baby in Christ. I have not grown. All of my 3 goals would not be goals if I would have matured in Christ.  I guess I became sastisfied with my fire insurance and have sat still for the last 30 years.  I hope as I do my fast and study I will be able to move from the manna to the meat of God's word.

From Day 2 Devotion in John 17:16-18, Jesus has sanctifed us. Great what does that even mean? Jesus set us apart for a Holy purpose.  I believe anybody who is searching for the meaning of life is not walking close to God.  He gave us our purpose.  We are in this world but not of this world. We are strangers in a strange land.  That all sounds great and good things to say in church, but do I stand with the world or apart from it? Can a lost person tell any difference between me and them? 

People always know when I am around. I have been told I am loud.  In face when my daughter looses me in Walmart she just tells her mom just listen we will hear dad.  Do I have that loud of a voice for Christ? Do non christians know when I am a christian when I'm in a room? 

My prayer is; Lord show me an area that I can seperate myself from the world. Help me remove the l and live in the word  Amen
