Global Surrender Fast – Week 1

Hello Surrender Fasters,

Today is Day 1 of our Global Surrender Fast! I hope you are expecting the unexpected.

For the last eight years, we’ve had the privilege of leading others in the experience of fasting. While some things have stayed the same, some have changed.

My sister Stephanie Davis, who wrote most of what you read on this blog, passed away this summer from cancer. She LOVED posting to this blog and she LOVED the Surrender Fast. She may be gone, but her spirit lives on! I know she’s up in heaven equally excited about the work God will do in and through you in these next 40 days.

Start your day with a dose of Morning Prayer during these 40 days of surrender!

Essential Oils for High Blood Pressure

Over the last 8 years, I’ve put in many hours studying natural ways to prevent and treat ailments. My newest study is on essential oils.

Essential oils are the highly concentrated version of the natural oils in plants. It’s the same oil that heals the plant. When used properly, these oils can provide amazing benefits to the human body.

I use oils three ways: aromatic, topical and internally.

Last year my husband was diagnosed diabetic. This diagnosis, along with a previous diagnosis of hypertension, sent him on a quest for good health. In turn, he removed all sugar and processed food from his diet. Within 3 months time he completely reversed his health and with his doctor’s okay, stopped all his medications.

Are You In The Fight?

Happy Thursday!!!

I think today is a great day to start back on the road to trusting God.

Sometimes the storm may get so hard that it seems like the only way to get any relief is by occupying your mind with something else.

It’s usually not even intentional. That reality t.v show, that delicious sweet you can’t seem to live without, shopping without purpose, internet surfing with no direction, or just becoming a couch potato and watching movie after movie.

Anything to bring peace to your surroundings and current situation.

I’ve buried myself so far down in the rabbit hole that I couldn’t see my way out.

Faith That Moves!

I wrote this blog awhile back, but still and always will believe that if you completely let go, God will do the impossible. And, I’m talking about the thing that you know there is no way you’ll ever acquire on your own, or with your own might.

Whew, have you ever thought about how easy it is to give up?

I mean seriously, faith can sometimes be a lot of work. It requires a lot of stamina, energy, strength, and perseverance to see your way through all the darkness.

It sometimes makes you want to scream, cry, and shout from the top of your lungs.

Having faith and not seeing the results you wish to see may even make you want to blame God or whoever’s closest to you.

But I’ve heard that it’s in the times of testing that we are made. That’s when we find out what we’re really made of.

Drawing Closer To God

Good News Thursday!!!

I posted this blog over a year ago, but today it is ringing true for me and I thought someone else might need to let go of there own way of doing things and try adopting God’s way of doing it.

That saying about let go and let God has never been truer. Enjoy!

Jesus said to Martha “You are worried and upset.” There is only one thing to be concerned about and Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her. (Luke 10:38-42 NLT)

Drawing closer to God is the single most important thing we could ever do for ourselves. And the enemy knows it. That’s why you may notice when you decide to draw closer to the Creator, distractions from any and everywhere imaginable will come.

It can get so bad that you may feel that you were doing better before you started to draw closer.

But that’s the trap that the enemy wants you to fall into.

He wants you to give up because boy if you reach the finish line………..God WINS and he LOSES!!!

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a……

“Ahem!”

And so it was, that, while
they were there (In the City of David), the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.

And she brought forth her
firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid
him in a manger; because there
was no room for them in the inn.

Be Prepared! Emergency Kit!

Quick Tip Monday!!!

“Winter is here!”

With that comes a change in articles of clothing, snow, cold and possible car issues.

Are you prepared?

Emergency car kits are very important even though they are often looked over.

You never know when your car may run into some type of unforeseeable issue.

Wow! Can you believe that Christmas is right around the corner?

It seems that we were just celebrating Thanksgiving the other day and now, Christmas is right on our tails.

So what better time to start the two-part series of Jesus’ birth then today?

You may not have had time to sit down and read the story to either yourself or your family and loved ones due to the demands of life, but what better time than now to prepare for a two-part night of story time where you gather everyone together, have some popcorn or baked goods and just experience the humble magnificence of our Savior Jesus Christ.
