day 45: Evaluation

well
after a little bit over a month of this journey
I feel that I haven't made a huge leap of progress
Going into this i was very stoked
Figured I'd beast mode through it all
but all I managed to do this first month was realize
all the things about me that bother me

don't get me wrong
I don't see this as a bad thing
it's not that I didn't have an empire in the first place
it's that I'm realizing that I have to destroy what's been built
so that I can restart from the bottom

build correctly on the solid foundation of Christ
instead of having places of my life in sinking sand

I'm too independant
and too dependant
I allow myself to get stressed out
I struggle to set boundaries
I wrestle with caring enough to share the gospel
I struggle with anger in crazy ways
and much more

and my prayer through this and I hope that you are praying along with me
is that God would change these things from struggles and wrestlings
to Victories in His name

that I wouldn't be set on focusing on God for a few months,
but that I would be set on revolving around God for life

it all starts with being in the word and applying it to my life

Matthew 7:24-27 Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
