I can’t possibly know what the Spirit desires, live showing any fruit, obey or be any sort of witness unless I’ve got power beyond my own. I’m extremely weak and selfish. But with Jesus Christ who lives in me by the Holy Spirit, I can succeed and not do what my flesh is pushing at all opportunities to do.
These were my thoughts when I started this challenge. I’ve been to the gym, because Claire lives in the house now :-), had 4 corn chips and found that my time with Jesus has been like eating honey. Sweet, soothing, leaving me wanting more. How has your month been? Click on a title, scroll to the bottom and give us some insight. You can follow on the bottom right…completely optional.
CONSIDER 
I have been loving the study and also finding intimacy with Jesus this month. The Spirit really does fill us with all of these fruits that we try so hard to make on our own but it never works. I have been finding that when I take these moments to surrender to the spirit, things fall into their rightful place.
I have been doing whole foods as well, having cravings from time to time, (dark chocolate in my mouth now), and I have broken my one cup of coffee rule as of this week (so much homework), the no TV has been hard at times when we are tired and don’t know what else to do, but we have played games, worked on our “scrapbook”, read more, and gone to bed earlier. I think it has made us a little more creative with out time.
All in all it’s been a great month and I feel God moving in me.
