IT'S A NEW DAY

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him in song. Psalm 28:7

My very first blog post on October 30, 2008.

I took some excerpts from it.

Ok, ok, Lord, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for limiting Your power and Your provisions in our lives. Forgive me for wanting things done my way. Forgive me for realizing that Your ways are so much better than my ways. You have allowed this circumstance to come our way, not to harm us but to show forth Your power upon our lives. 

I read a post from ginny in her December 2007 entry that really spoke to me. I wrote it out on paper because I plan on writing it in my journal this morning. 

It states: "My brokeness can be an instrument to mend what else is broken in my life. This is an opportunity for me to grow through this suffering and heal broken relalationships, attitudes, old hurts and wounds, and other adversities that plague me daily".

In a devotional that I read this morning from Streams in the Desert by L.B. Cowman, there is a prayer written by George Matheson "Make me, in my cloud, a rainbow bringing the ministry of joy to others. My patience will only be perfect when it works in Your vineyard."

"When all our hopes are gone,

It is best our hands keep toiling on

For others' sake.

For strength to bear is found in duty done;

And he is best who learns to make

The joy of others cure his own heartache."

Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees.Make level paths for your feet, so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many. Hebrews 12:12-15

When trials come into my life, my flesh wants to scream, be angry, throw a fit and just give up. I can't count the times I would throw HUGE temper tantrums because of what I was dealing with. God tells me to strengthen my feeble arms and weak knees. I think by praising God, raising my hands in worship to Him through these dark times does strengthen my arms. Getting on my knees in prayer and petition to God Almighty does strengthen my knees.

Making the effort to keep on keeping on instead of giving up in depression, despair and anger encourages others around me to stand up and walk like wise, and they too are healed from their pain. Without walking in holiness (I think about walking in joy, peace, contentment) no one will see God working in my life. 

If I'm going about my day murmuring and complaining, being angry because of the injustice that has been done in my family because of my husband losing his job(Randy is working now, but laid off and waiting for the call back..), being angry because there is pain in broken relationships, sickness of body that has come, and just the every day irritations of life, I will miss the grace of God. His unmerited favor upon our lives.

Walking that way will cause bitter root to grow, which causes trouble in my life and defiles everyone around me.

It takes courage to fight the good fight of faith. It takes strength to walk in love, hope, trust and patience.

Let us run with patience. Hebrews 12:1

Running is not my forte. Walking, yes..lol. I think about this scripture though and think how they go together. Running and in patience!~ It brings to my mind about 'running' with patience throughout my day in the activities that are before me. Having a gentle and calm spirit. Being patient as I go about my day, EVEN though the storms are RAGING around me, and even trying to pentrate my spirit.

Run in patience. 

Sigh.

I encourage you dear one who is reading this. Run..RUN IN PATIENCE. Don't meditate upon what's wrong in your life. Don't believe this will be forever. This too shall pass. Whatever is going on in your life right now, will NOT destroy you, but it will strengthen you, build you up and refine you into a beautiful vessel of God's power and glory.!~ Don't miss out on the graces of God that He has for you today because of bitter root trying to attach itself to you.

Rest in His love. Find comfort in Him alone. Watch, look, His mercies are new every morning. He will come to your aid. He will not leave you in this state. HE WON'T!!!!

amen amen amen

IT'S A NEW DAY

http://www.freespirithaven.com/2012/01/its-new-day.html

EVERYTHING IS COMING UP ROSES

Blessings everyone!

I've been very quiet these days haven't I?

Well my co workers would disagree.

lol....

I've been busy pitter pattering around the home these days.

Getting my craft room organized.

Putting up some Valentine decorations.

Simplifying.

Organizing.

Decluttering.

Randy had the entire back seat of his truck FILLED with items to give away to Redeemed Goods.

I've been having a hard time keeping my eyes on the Cross.

My eyes on Jesus.

It's been quite self centered on myself.

On the 'old man' ways.

This is something I wrote in my journal the other day:

"I get mixed up a lot. I see so much of my errors. In raising them (my children). Not only in my parenting but my entire life. Not before You came and made Your home with me but afterwards. When I KNEW better. Choosing instead to walk in the flesh sometimes. I get so angry with myself. Angry with life. Hating it. Life is so precious, a beautiful gift from God and I've thrown it away numerous times."

later I went back to the journal and wrote this:

"After this big pour out of the heart, Asher and I had a blow up. Him swearing because I accused him of freezing the computer up from XBox, me swearing back.(so much for yesterday's post folks:TALK ABOUT CURSING

Him swearing and screaming "kick me out". I tell him he swears at me again, he's out.

Randy complains about moved furniture in the rec room. Doesn't like it. I tell him it's not just his room. I go to bed.

Cry.

Cry and want to die.

Crazy messed up thoughts flowing. A jumbled mess. I sleep."

"I get up and everything is calm. I think of those that take their life. After sleeping instead, they would find..."

In my journal on that page at the very bottom folks, was the inspirational word I had cut out back in September 2011 when I began writing in the journal...

SURPRISES.

Four months after putting it in my journal, here I was sitting in my chair pouring out my heart again to the Lord and I get to the bottom of the page to find this word.

SURPRISES.

Reason why I just wrote:"I get up and everything is calm. I think of those that take their life. After sleeping instead, they would find..." let the inspirational word be part of my sentence!

I finish off with:

"Jesus, I truly need Your help because my mind, the mind of Christ is battling with the flesh of Angie. I am weak but You are strong."

"Please help me."

I shared with the ladies at The Sacrificial Diet Face book group that God IS bringing healing in our lives. It reminded me of someone who has Cancer. Your cut open. Disease is taken out. Sometimes parts of you are taken out. You go through Radiation and Chemotherapy.

It makes you sick. 

It brings healing though.

So this process of healing I'm going through is making me 'sick', but it is bringing God's healing.

I'm being emptied of 'self'.

And folks, I'm REALLY full of myself so God has a lot of work to do.

Praise be to God that the good work He started in me, He WILL complete.

Glory to God, He will not leave me in this state forever...

Hallelujah!!

EVERYTHING IS COMING UP ROSES

TALK ABOUT CURSING

It's funny how just last night I was talking to a co worker about my mouth and how I used to throw the f bombs around and I was positive I had Tourettes.

It's funny also how I spoke to another co worker earlier last night about 'what you speak will come to fruition'.

So this morning I go and look up an 'oldie', a post from way back when.

Dated the beginning of October.

2008.

Not even one comment was left!!

lol

(The servant of the God says) The Lord has given Me the tongue of a disciple and of one who is taught, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him who is weary. He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a disciple (as one who is taught). Isaiah 50:4

This was my devotional reading from last night when I went to bed. God showed me through His Word that we have the power to bless people with our words.

The power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). We also have the power to curse people with our words.

I've started a Bible Study with the ladies that meet at my house on Monday nights that is about fasting from foreboding thoughts (assumptions and premonitions of evil tidings). 

This Bible Study was brought to me at my internet Ministry, The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven (msn group) awhile back and I thought it would be perfect to share with the ladies that come to my home.

Thoughts meditated upon long enough become actions. Either positive or negative. There really is no getting around to that fact!~

Being from an Italian background, worry just seemed to go hand in hand with that. My father used to say, 'when I worry it shows you that I love you'. I have learned that it doesn't. Worry can steal your joy, your trust, your hopes, your faith.

For so many years my mouth was filled with curses. Cursing when I didn't get my way, cursing whem my husband or children were frustrating me. Cursing when I had problems in my life. My goodness, I sure did alot of cursing.

Sigh. 

Praise God,,praise and glory to God Almighty that He didn't leave me in that state of mess. Praise God He also makes everything beautiful in His time. Praise God that my words have become filled with the fruit of the Spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Praise God for His forgiveness and for healing upon my family, relationships, circumstances brought on from all those curses that I spoke out loud.

I share with the ladies in the bible study, "your tongue has the power of life and death, what are you speaking?'.

What are we speaking into our daily lives? What words are we speaking on our family's lives? Do we murmur and complain? Do we become easily frustrated, bitter, angry, disappointed? Does depression set in quickly?

He wakens Me morning by morning, He wakens My ear to hear as a dsiciple (as one who is taught).

I cannot count the tears (God can though) of hurt, pain, depression, and anger that I had about myself for the failings I caused because of my mouth. I can't count the prayers that were sent up (God can) asking God to change me, not leave me this way, set me free, save me from myself. 

During dark times I've even prayed for Him to just take me, for I truly believed I was destroying everyone around me because of my own behavior.

Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, "Here I am". Isaiah 58:9

I did call, and kept calling and calling..The Lord God did answer. I cried and cried, and God said "Here I am". 

I encourage anyone that is reading this today that is having such a difficult time in their life right now. Feelings of despair, hopelessness, rejection, fear, anxiety, depression.

Keep calling out to God. DON'T stop. Keep crying out to God. DON'T stop. Don't give in. Don't miss out on the blessings that God has in store for you.

I have a saying,,'the bigger the attack, the bigger the blessings. Don't become offended and miss the blessings that God has in store for you. 

Don't get caught up in the attack, but look for the blessings that are just around the corner'.

I've been in the pit of hell, I've seen Satan face to face. I used to be his. 

Praise and glory to God Almighty. I am a child of a King. Not only a king,,but the King of kings and the Lord of lords..Jesus Christ came and lifted me up, picked me up from that pit of hell and drew me to Himself.

No matter if there is a thousand at my side, ten thousand at my right hand, they will not come near me, for I have made the Lord God, my God!~ 

No matter what trial your facing, no matter how big the mountain is for you , no matter how deep that hole is that your in,,GOD IS BIGGER. You and God are the majority. 

amen amen amen

FEARLESS FRIDAY

I am a warrior, here me roar!

They do not fear bad news; they confidently trust the Lord to care for them. They are confident and fearless and can face their foes triumphantly.” ~ Psalm 112:7-8 NLT

Today I thought I would share my first Fearless Friday with you.

Back than I had no Fearless Friday button.

Not even any pictures.

Hadn't figured that one out yet.

Aren't you glad I did..lol

Just my words came folks...So here ya go...

November 28, 2008!

When morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy. Psalm 65:8

Taken from Streams in the Desert:

In the holy hush of the early dawn I hear a Voice

"I am with you all the day,

Rejoice! Rejoice!"

Fell asleep at 9:30 last night. 2:00 a.m. I'm up. Roll over, plump the pillows One for my head, and one between my legs to protect and ease my back pain. Pray. "Lord, let me sleep a little more?"

Roll over. Get up and go to the bathroom.

Back to bed. Plump the pillows. Close eyes.

Thoughts whirling in my mind. For a devotional. One that God has been calling me to write about for quite a few weeks. "Ok, Lord, what name should I call it?" "How is Faithful Friday's?"

"hmmm,well You will give me the right wording. Ok, I'm going back to sleep".

Eyes still closed.

Eyes opened.

Ok, get on my knees to pray. Randy stirs and looks at me. This time I haven't scared him,,LOL. Last week he woke up in the middle of the night when I was praying on my knees by the side of the bed and said, 'WHAT THE HECK" (trying to figure out what that dark form is by the bed)lol.."OH" "What are you doing?" I'm praying so I don't answer him..lol. He rolls over and goes back to sleep.

Back to bed. Close my eyes.

"Ok Lord, I'm up".

2:30 a.m. I'm at my Prayer Corner, reading His Word, and reading my devotionals.

"OK, Lord, I'm going back to bed now".

3:00 a.m. back to bed. Close my eyes.

3:15: "Ok, Lord, I'm up".

Downstairs, push coffee maker to on. Back to Prayer Corner. Pray from Prayer Book (Prayers That Avail Much). 'FEARLESS FRIDAYS'..."Ok, Lord, that sounds really good".

Finish praying and go to Computer/Prayer Room and on my knees by wicker chair. Grasp onto blanket, imagining it is the hem of Jesus's robe. Start to pray.

Get on the computer. Read from His Living Sacrifice  (she closed her blog..sigh). Bawl, and bawl. Leave a comment. Have to stop while writing so I can wipe my tears and blow my nose. Continue to write, than stop to cover my face with my eyes and bawl.

Go to Bring The Rain. Bawl again, and again. Leave a comment and prayer.

Than upstairs to get dressed, straighten hair. I'm NOT putting make up on right now. I look like Rudolph the Reindeer's sister. I will wait to see if there is any more tears to be shed before I put on my make up.

So, now to start my devotional..LOL.

FEARLESS FRIDAYS....God has put upon my heart for quite a few weeks to start a weekly 'whatever you call it'. Sigh. I'm so illiterate to blogland terminology...UPDATE:they are called Meme's..lol..( I think..lol)

My spirit has been pressing my heart to start a weekly Prayer Request thread. Anyone that knows me personally and for those that have been following along in this blog, knows I pray,,pray and pray and pray. I pray pretty much about everything.

I feel the Lord asking me to start this FEARLESS FRIDAY'S to give each of you the opportunity to join me in prayer. To leave your prayer requests with me, either through an email and or through the comments page. I have opened up "anonymous" in the comment box for those that want to join in but are not ready yet to reveal themselves at this time.

Whoever joins in, I will be writing out your prayer requests in my Prayer Journal.UPDATE: I still do this from time to time. Write in my journal about all of you..asking the Lord to help you, and/or just thanking Him for you  I will be praying over the prayers, each and every day. When there is an answer to prayer, I would ask that you let me know so that I can than go back to the Prayer Journal and write in Red pen,,PBG (praise be to God, the date and the answer to the request).UPDATE:..I don't do that anymore. I just journal...

I would love to have a link or 'whatever you call it', lol, that could be displayed each Friday to show who is participating. Right now I don't know how to do that,,so it's in God's hands. I also would love to have a little 'whatever you call it', those little banner thingies(?) that can be displayed each Fearless Friday. I don't know how to do that either...UPDATE AGAIN:..LOL. For awhile I was doing that link up but I couldn't justify paying for it while financially we are struggling. As for my 'lion button', a woman emailed me and offered to make me one. FOR FREE! I can't remember who she is (I actually think she was an angel sent from God because He knew how much I wanted a button).After she made the button for me, I never saw her again.

GUESS WHAT?????

I don't care! God says " now, do this now. Don't wait till you figure out 'whatever you call it' Angela"

I will also be leaving my Prayer Requests for everyone to read. I ask that you would join me in prayer.

Now that MSN Groups are closing, the Prayer Warriors that have been with me for 8 years, praying over my family and I, the members at one time 180 in total, now 144, will not be able to see my prayers requests on the Prayer Request Board because on February 21,2009 The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven's journey will be completed.

I have found SO MUCH comfort in my days KNOWING someone was praying for me. God knows I NEED this. I need to ask for prayer. I need someone to stand in the gap for me. To help me carry my cross. To allow me to cry out for help.

I'm glad I didn't put make up on,,I'm crying..lol.

Hang on, kleenex time and the box is empty here, have to go into the kitchen.

"I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you lose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask, it will be done for you by My Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in My Name, there I am with them". Matthew 18:18-20

Prayer Requests:

*Randy is phoning Elmwood Kitchens this morning to see about the position with the Company.

Could you please pray for us. Pray for God's will to be done. His will and not our's. Pray for His blessings and favor. ..hang on...ok,,sorry I was bawling and listening "holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty"...I just DESIRE for God to be honored, praised and glorified in our lives. So I cry out,",WHATEVER LORD, WHATEVER YOU SEE FIT TO DO"UPDATE: Randy never got that job, plus he was unemployed for a complete 2 years looking for works folks~!

*for my Aunt Tina who was told a few weeks back that the Cancer is back and has gone to her stomache and liver. Please pray for her salvation, for comfort, for strength upon her and her family. Pray that God will lead me to and DO IT, whatever He has for me to do (write a letter, visit, phone, whatever He tells me to do).UPDATE: March of this year will mark 3 years of her passing.

*could you also pray for the members of The Blessings of Free Spirit Haven. So many are hurting, not knowing where to go now and wanting me to start another group, please pray that God will lead them to a safe haven, where they will once again be fed the Word of God, find encouragement and prayers.UPDATE: I'm still in contact with a few of the members from my msn group. Some are followers here, some have their own blogs, some have subscribed through email, and some have passed away. SIGH.At one time we were 256 strong members. It's sad how you lose touch, but I've learned...'seasons'...everything is for a season.

ok,,I will leave it to only three..Be prepared though beloved...lol.

Jesus, thank You for this morning dawns and evening fades You call forth songs of joy.

"In the holy hush of the early dawn I hear a Voice - Jesus, thank You for calling me this early morning. Thank You for allowing me to hear Your voice. Thank You for not allowing me to roll over and go back to sleep but to finally sit down in obedience and write FEARLESS FRIDAY'S out as You have been putting upon my heart for awhile now.

"I am with you all the day,

Rejoice! Rejoice!" Thank You for being with me ALL DAY Jesus. I am rejoicing,,I am rejoicing..

amen amen amen

FEARLESS FRIDAY

http://www.freespirithaven.com/2012/01/fearless-friday_20.html

BLESSING YOUR CHILDREN, an oldie!

This post was done three years ago..

She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness. Proverbs 31:27

I love starting my week with My Walk Mondays and ending my week with Fearless Friday's. I thank God for His leading me to participate with Scrapping Servant on her Meme, and for God's leading me to start my own with Fearless Friday Meme's.

I will be sharing a YouTube video later of how I blessed my daugther Shaneah yesterday.

I love the Proverbs 31 Woman. She is a wealth of wisdom, encouragement, vision, focus, dedication, blessing and love. Some may find her very overwhelming, something that is too far above their reach. She has become my heart's cry, my inspiration of the woman I desire to be in God's hands.

I was like the Proverbs 31 Woman, watching the affairs of my household. The only difference between her and I though was I DID eat the bread of idleness.

There was a time, not too long ago I may add, that my laundry would be spilling out onto the floor from the laundry basket that was in the hallway. That was about 12 to 15 loads of laundry right there that I allowed to accumulate.

Yesterday I cleaned Shaneah's room. It took me about an hour and a half. I was OVERWHELMED. I wanted to give up so many times. I wanted to break down and cry. I wanted to go back to bed and lay around. I wanted to cut corners, just do a surface cleaning (who would know right?). I wanted to give up. I wanted to spend my day being idle.

My spirit would well up within me, reminding me that I am blessing my daugther, that I was not only watching over the affairs of my household but I was not being idle either. I went through her clothes, her toys, her drawers and cleaned out items that were too small, broken, not being used. I found two pieces of clothing that STILL had price tags on them! I added these items into a gift bag for a birthday party Shaneah attended yesterday.

As I stated above, I will share the video that I made after I cleaned her room.

God has really been ministering to my spirit to love my family passionately, to do them good all the days of their lives.

I remember when I would find something that, say my husband didn't put away properly, I would leave it there, either waiting to see how long it would take for him to finally put it away, or start nagging him to put it away. We would have HUGE stinkin fights over this I may add. I the martyr, would be so justified by my actions, who did my family think I was, their slave, their maid, a door matttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!! I DON'T THINK SO!! bla bla bla bla bla!

Same with my own children. My thoughts were, "I have to teach them to clean up after themselves, they need to have discipline, they can't be growing up to be slobs", etc. Well I sure was not teaching in love, I will tell you that. My household was run in martrydom!

Thank God He hasn't left me this way!! Thank God for the Holy Spirit working in my life and helping me, intereceding on my behalf, counselling me and strengthening me to be a godly woman, one that believes the best and does the best for her family (or aspires too, instead of the crumbs I would hand out).

Jesus came to serve.

Oh how my flesh has a hard time with that one. Serve..come one,,I was born to BE SERVED!! That's what I thought for a long time..lol. Blush!!

So I begin praying, "Father God, give me a servant's heart, help me to have a love that believes the best of those around her and to bless them with the best I can offer".

Thy Kingdom come on earth Father God as it is in Heaven.

amen amen amen

Part one

PART TWO:

BLESSING YOUR CHILDREN, an oldie!

http://www.freespirithaven.com/2012/01/blessings-your-children-oldie.html

TALK ABOUT PERFECT TIMING, let's talk Diet!

I'm blown away folks. 

Thought I would share another 'oldie' from the past. 

The one I'm about to share is from August 2009.

Well as I start to read it, I'm like 'WHAT?"

You see, I 'randomly' picked one and the one I pick is one where I had started a 40 day journey!

Well guess what?

Today is Day One of a 40 Day Journey that a group of ladies that have joined The Sacrificial Diet Facebook page has started with me.

This is what I wrote for Day One:

DAY ONE:

Consecration: To declare or set apart as sacred:

Sanctification: means "to set apart" for God or special purpose, figuratively "to make holy or sacred."...

These 40 days ladies are becoming a time of being set apart for God's purpose, a time that is made holy and sacred. A time set apart from all other times where we will learn much...Just today, the very first day this is what I received from the Holy Spirit with an hour of me getting out of bed..(blew me away that it started this quickly..lol)

1. What Cheryl Terry wrote: ."but God spoke to my heart through your post here..."the enemy of our souls is skillful at using those we are close to, to try and sabotage". As soon as I read this I felt the Holy Spirit speak..'Angela, remember you do not fight against flesh and blood'....I am the first to believe in everything being 'spiritual' but lost sight on this."

2.Sharon Rose Smith asked a question and this is what came to me while I was busy typing out a post to her (see how I said post and not comment..aren't they always long girls!! lol) ".You know what just came to me as I was typing this...why do we have to say such and such when NO THANK YOU should be 'good enough'..eh? No thank you. No thank you. "

So this is the day, day one that the Lord has made my sisters and we will rejoice and be glad in it. Heal us oh Lord these 40 days of fasting and we will be healed. Oh Lord save us these 40 days of fasting and we will be saved. Grant us success Lord.For You are the One we praise. (Psalm 118). amen amen amen

Dated August 2009

I am with you always to the end of the age. Matthew 28:20

I am on my a journey for 40 days!

I am on my third day of the journey.

A journey of being completely released from the stronghold that gluttony had upon my body.

What is gluttony?

Gluttony:one who eats to excess. On who has a great appetite or capacity for something.

This dictionary meaning sure pegged me correctly when it came to food.

I got to a point in my life that food was literally killing me.

As of February 25, 2007, I have been released from 85lbs.(update...130 lbs. folks and STILL counting!)

I did not take diet pills.

I did not count calories.

I did not weigh my food.

I did not join a weight loss program.

I did not have surgery.

I sacrificed two meals a day.

Intermittent fasting.

If you have never heard of this just google Intermittent Fasting and you will find quite a bit of information on this.

Now I NEVER heard of Intermittent Fasting when I started sacrificing two meals a day. I didn't even know there were others out there that were living this lifestyle.

One thing that I do differently than what many others do through Intermittent Fasting is that this has become a DAILY lifestyle for me.

I do not change days where I am eating three meals a day, than fast two meals a day on other days.

The first question I ALWAYS get from others when asked how I lost all this weight was...

"You don't eat breakfast?"

Than I get bombarded with...

"I heard this is very unhealthy."

"Your not supposed to skip breakfast."

"Your making yourself sick."

I have been living this lifestyle for two years now.

I have not been sick once in these two years.UPDATE: I've been living this life style now for 5 years now!

I run a home daycare.UPDATE: I "Walmart Diva girl"

Do you know how much sickness comes into this house?

I am healthier than I have ever been.

I have more energy than ever.

Depression is no longer something I deal with on a daily basis.

I was on Prozac (the highest dose possible) PLUS Welbrutien for 5 years.
I suffered from depression, social phobia, panic attacks and OCD.

I have been off the medication, with my Doctor's supervision of course!!

That is a MUST for ANYONE that is thinking of going off their medication.

The Sacrificial Diet blog Facebook group is going to be a place where I share my journey of weight release.

My prayer is that others that have been in bondage to food will find a 'safe haven' here, finding encouragement, hope, love and to be set free from this stronghold that has been over you.

I am looking forward to this 40 day journey I am on. I am looking forward to sharing with all of you what I'm learning, what I'm dealing with and the changes that will be happening.

After the 40 days, I will share EXACTLY what it has been all about.UPDATE: During these 40 days, some days I will update at The Sacrificial Diet group what I'm learning, what's being revealed to me about certain things. Other days I will just say Day? and give God praise..

Blessings to you this day!
