Humility and Maturity Fast 18/40

There is still a long way to go. But, there is grace on this fast. It hasnt been all that hard. I still contemplate moving to just water, but I havent gotten there yet. Maybe, I will do that at the 20-day mark. Right now, I am water every other day and juice every other day.

Yesterday, I got up and hung out with the LORD. As soon as it was over, I felt like oppression had set in. I was kinda pissy all day.

I went to the entrepreneurs group meeting last night. We went around the table telling our stories on what we do. When it got to me, I shared about elevate29, but when asked what my distinctive was, I shared “I hear God”.

Actually, I found that this was more about my lack of confidence in me as a business person and my overwhelming confidence moving in the power of God. But, I am leveraging God’s name for my glory – not His when I do this.

I didnt even realize that, but I felt the check last night when I got home and shared it with Laura.

This morning, I met with Jay Jones, and we had a great talk. He talked about Andy’s message on losing your religion. During his chat, I heard that I was breaking commandment number two. Dont take God’s name in vain.

I am, and I repent. Dang, I used my gifts and stuff to leverage my own glory and make me feel better.

I am sorry LORD. Thank You for showing this to me and for forgiving me.

Make me more humble. Make me mature.
