day 56

Can you believe it is day 56?  I can't either!  I am so proud of myself...I was with one of my friends who smokes today, I didn't even care!  The smell doesn't bother me and I have no desire to "light one up"!  Astounding!!  I now believe I am over the hump, but I have learned not to get prideful AT ALL about anything. 
God has surrounded me with so many beautiful healers....my friend Trish, a massage specialist, insisted I have a lymphatic body wrap and cupping session today.  So wonderful was this treatment that it took away the cankles.  It also put me into such a meditative state that I saw a vision of something God was going to do for me.  The vision gave me such a sense of peace and knowing that HE was there in the room, I can't describe what it really felt like......too big for words. I wrote a poem to HIM in my head and have been trying most of the day to get it on paper. 

Listen to what my Beth Moore devotional says today:
If we are going to live in freedom, we have no choice but to renounce every single secret place of sin in our lives to GOD.
   "O lord our GOD, other lords besides you have ruled over me, but your name alone is the one I want to honor (Isa 26:13).  Please help me understand that these sins and addictions have been terrible and destructive rulers in my life.  Help me to cease to honor them.  Father, your WORD tells me that anyone who trusts in YOU will never be put to shame (Rom 10:11).  How I celebrate that the time has come to put all shame behind me!"

Can you even believe that?  I was living in secret shame for all the things I knew were not pleasing to HIM!  They were not pleasing to me!!!!  Here is another reading from today...
“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace”.  This is Eph 1:7...
So, needless to say, I am no longer mad at GOD, or myself, or my body.  This is a good thing.  I am going to be doing alot of travel soon and I am putting together my survival kit again.  I will once again be out of the cocoon for a long period of time, out of my routine, (which I just got into the routine!), not going to be exercising the same, so am a little worried.  I found a coupon for a week of free hot yoga in Colo Springs which I will totally utilize!  I have set up a hot yoga room in my house and I am definitely going to miss it....!  Will I be able to blog?  This has become therapy for me...
Oh well, here we go again....life is not about hiding in the cocoon any longer.

so, day 56.....had an amazing spa treatment, drank my juice, took my supplements, prayed all day......rest of life???? let me just say, it is going to be veerrrrrryyyyy interesting!

Blessings on you and so much love.....The ALMIGHTY ONE loves us so much that it can't be described. Bask in that love and give HIM your day 1.  Praying for you, Jules
