Wow, I can't believe it's been 3 months already! I'm still on my journey, and its amazing to see how far I've come in these three months. Since I last posted I have gone corporate, I'm also continuing to run my own business, and I still do a lot of work for my church. So needless to say, I am very busy! LOL But God is still doing some wonderful things in my life!
This morning I read a daily verse John 14:15 If you love me, then keep my commandments. This verse was very interesting to me because during the course of my journey it has been difficult to keep not only his commandments, but also my commitments. I find that I have to push myself really hard to change in areas I never knew existed. I also noticed how many things change when you change just ONE thing in your life. But none the less I have progressed! I have managed to add eating better, drinking more water, & exercising to my daily activities!!! Praise God!!! I have also pushed myself to speak at two speaking engagements that were very out of my norm. Now, I have to admit, I was so scared. But out of both experience came opportunities that have blessed me in all areas of my life.
So, what's my point you may ask! LOL Well, I said all that to say...when I listen to the voice of God and not only keep his commandments, but also keep my commitments especially in areas where I think I can't do something things not only work out, but they end up opening other doors for me that I could never have imagined!
So whether it's keeping his commandments or sticking to your commitments PUSH yourself harder to do BOTH better!!! God always has a plan and a purpose for what he instructs us to do.
So I ask you today, have you PUSHED yourself to stick to his commandments and your commitments? If so, how have you been blessed...and if not why and what's keeping you from it?
