The Goal To Be Obedient

-
Everyone knows that voice, that still small voice that speaks to them everyday. Some say it's your conscience, others say its your intuition but really it is the Holy Spirit. I want you to look over your life and ask yourself this simple question...."Have you always obeyed that still small voice in every area of your life?" Has God shown you how to be successful at work, or be a better employee? But you did not do it. Did he give you a creative idea or invention and you did not go after it. Did He tug on your heart and say....read your Bible or get up early to spend time with Him, but getting those extra 10 - 20 minutes of sleeping in the bed seemed more advantageous to you at the time. Has he said don't eat that cake, eat an apple. That is not just you thinking that, that is God helping you to make a healthy decision so you can live longer to accomplish the plans He has for your life. God is talking to us all the time. He sent the Holy Spirit to guide and direct our steps (Proverbs 3:5-6), but some times we just don't want to listen. Sometimes its just because we want to be lazy and not put in the effort or you have been fear stricken to step out into the land of uncertainty. But God has not given you the Spirit of fear and He knows the plans He has for you. So don't be afraid of His leading, because He will lead you to life and life more abundantly. So today......make it your goal to allow the Holy Spirit to lead you in every area of your life by being obedient to His voice. Your "goal girl" [e].

Just a warning...you may need to get some tissues for today's blog post. Well as I pondered about what I was going to write today I came across this video and I want you to take a look at it. Please view it before you continue reading. fdafdasfdksjalf; During the video I must have cried and cried and cried. It really touched my heart for many reasons. I had thought about all the areas in my life that it seemed like I failed, but I kept getting back up again. I see although the process was painful just like the guy on the video...I have grown tremendously in every area of my life. I was talking to a friend this past Saturday. I have been at my job for several years, with no hopes of a promotion or increase in salary. She said to me....well Ericka create your own breakthrough. She said I believe alot of your frustrations will go away when you get a new job and recognize your worth. When I watched the video they told him he would never walk again and he was overweight.

How It All Began.......Part II

-
The first day I was so excited and pumped. I decided everyday that I worked out to post it on Facebook. Another form of accountability. Little did I know this would be a great support for me in the end. I also sensed accomplishment by posting and that I could go on. After the third day, my legs were very sore, I had to massage them for about thirty to forty five minutes before the pain would go away. But I did not let that stop me. This also happened other times during the thirty days. I made sure to eat correctly, I even fasted sweets and watched the fried foods that I ate. Every day of the challenge I pressed forward, even if I did not want to workout, I looked passed my feelings and looked at the end result. This challenge was one of the most difficult things that I have ever done so far in my life. The videos were extremely hard and they took great effort to finish them at least at that time. But as I began to count the days down, I began to see the results that I had always wanted
