Day 22; The journey continues!

I had a dream last night...wish I could remember with clarity what it was about! All I know is I woke up in the middle of the night with the thought of being clothed with grace & humility as garments! The dream inspired today's journal entry & scriptures. I pray these will be my garments!

Day 21...the last day!!??

Oh my! We've come to the end of our 21 days. Tomorrow is a new beginning of continuing the journey on my own...without Rhonna's inspiration...without the encouragement of the 21-ers. YIKES! Lord, I need grace to be diligent & continue this journey in your Word with a splash of creativity! Well, here's the last page. Rhonna wanted to celebrate our uniqueness...Dr Seuss put it so well! Then again, David really nailed it in Psalm 139...one of my fav's. HuGs....\O/ (Flower Stamps are from Thao Cosgrove's Pretty Primavera Kit)

Day 20, 21 Day Challenge!

Oh my! Only one day left of this challenge. I hope I can stay on track. It's so good when you are held accountable. I don't want to quit this awesome habit of daily meditation on the WOrD! Here's my creative page for my journal for today. I'll miss the 21-ers at 2Ps! I hope to start a group of my own...here with my worship team. I'm going to make them each a journal of one of our passages we sing...I'll start with the 23rd Psalm...who knows...maybe I'll do all three that we sing at our Worship With the WorD sets! FUN!

Today's quote so beautifully parallels the scripture in 2 Corinthians 4:17. This always helps me to press on and embrace the difficulties in life...an EterNaL WeiGhT of GlOrY!!! What could be better???

Day 19

Rhonna chose this quote for day 19....

"Sow an act...reap a habit; Sow a habit....reap a character; Sow a character...reap a destiny." George Boardman

This is amazing to think about! So much is in our power to choose & act. God has given us dominion. Do we believe it? If we do, our choices will reflect our belief. Do we exercise it rightly? This made me think about the priciple of sowing & reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 says it so well! Verse 7 "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." This is my meditation for today.

Day 18...Happiness

Truly, happiness is a choice...True in SO many ways! I chose Phil 4:4 to re-enforce Rhonna's quote for today & meditate on...seems even scripture tells us to make the choice to REJOICE, TWICE! It seems our focus has much to do with our attitude. When scripture repeats something...we'd better pay attention!

Day 17, Diligence

Today's quote from our challenge is about the price of success...this spoke to me of diligence. I searched the Proverbs for some nuggets of gold from the Wise King Solomon. Here are some truths I found....

Day 16

Today is day 16 of our 21 day journey to aquiring a good habit. My habit is meditation on the Word of God & creating a journal page around that word. I'm tracking with this 21 day challenge with Rhonna Farrer on 2Ps. There is a group of us on this journey, each with a different goal to establish or break a habit in 21 days! Today's quote from Rhonna is;

"Opportunities to find deeper powers within ourselves come when life seems most challenging." by Joseph Campbell.

21 Day Challenge, Day 17
Diligence

Rhonna's Quote inspired me to think about the challenges in my life & how I respond to them. The scripture that came alive to me is Psalm 84:5-7. It talks about the valley of baca. It is a low place of sufferring & weeping & certainly CHALLENGE! The one who makes God his strength makes the valley of baca a place of springs & pools; meaning refreshing, life & growth. I want to be this kind of person. One who does not despise the sufferring & difficult places in life...but takes on the challenges in the strength of the Lord & finds new life in them! This Psalm is overlaid in white on the journal page below. The quote & artwork on the right are Rhonna's. She shares one a day on this 21 day challenge! It is hard to read the script, so the Psalm reads;

Psalm 84:5-7
5. How blessed is the man whose strength is in You, In whose heart are the highways to Zion!6. Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring ; The early rain also covers it with blessings.7. They go from strength to strength, Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
