Good Morning Beauties!
Thank you for joining me on our 2019 Fall 40 Day Journey. Let me begin by saying I admire your courage, strength and dedication to grow deeper in your relationship with God. We have a promise about our desire to seek God in Matthew 7:8, “For every persistent one will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he longs for. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.”
As with any significant journey, we need to prepare. Friends of mine recently hiked the Appalachian Trail. For those of you who don’t know it’s 2,200 miles long! Their journey would take them months to complete, and the preparation for such a long journey took several weeks. How do we prepare for this spiritual journey? We will take the next three days to search our hearts and look at our expectations, obstacles, and motivations.
Today let’s define our expectations. Why are you taking this journey? Why now? What do you want to happen? What do you want God to do? What are you willing to do, to give, to surrender to consider it a successful experience? Selah. (Stop and ponder)
Take time this morning to pray and ask God these things. Find a place in your journal to write down your answers. You will want to refer back to them during your journey.
All of our journeys will be different, but we can all agree that today, as we begin, there is an uncertainty about where our journeys will take us. That’s okay. Do not fear. Though the experience is unknown, we do know the one who is leading us, and He will be with us to love and care for us the entire way.
Know that I’m praying for you and I believe in you!
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
