I officially turned 40 years old 4 days ago. I am FABULOUS in my forti-ness! I declare it because I am declaring the year of the Lord's favor. :) I just read a post from my friend Wanda's blog...it was lovely and honest, refreshing and thought provoking. She talked about having days that were not the best days and wanting a reset. I love that concept. I KNOW I have needed a reset. I am so grateful that my God grants me those reset opportunities each day that I wake up. I can and will choose each day to savor what He sets before me. Even when the day doesn't go as planned, I know I can find God's grace if I look for it. I just finished a book by Lysa Terkeurst called "Unglued..." it talks about making a decision to be filled with God's Holy spirit and taking hold of the fruits of that spirit...deliberately, purposefully, consciously. I want the love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control that all come from fully accepting God's Holy Spirit. I want to pass those gifts on to my kids and all the other people that touch my life. Look out world! You just might be my next intentional fruity experiment.
