January 2, 2010 Sunday Evening!

I have been searching out in the natural how to lose weight and how to pay off debt, truth is guys we cannot do it alone. I realized today when we were at church; Scott Beard (Fountain Gate) was telling us the prophetic word he felt God was giving Fountain Gate for 2010. I know this is not 100% of what Scott said BUT I heard unusual favor I did hear him say unusual blessing and unusual family RESTORATION… So when I hear the word unusual I think not like I have seen before and that is what Scott said the blessing, favor and restoration is not going to be like any we have seen before. OMG!!! I got so pumped up… I do believe that is how all of this will get done THIS YEAR...
THEN he hit me like a ROCK I mean stopped me dead in my happy place and gave us the scripture of Deuteronomy 28 OMG really… Please let me allow you guys to read it…

1 If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. 2 All these blessings will come upon you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God: 3 you will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 4 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks. 5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

There are areas of our life that we are not fully obeying God.(Scott was talking right to me and he did not even know it..) So if I want the blessing God says right here that he will give us we have to obey him in all things. Something that I have been struggling with this whole year about what church we are going to make our home and tithing. I have really felt bad about not tithing this year. But there are some choices we have to make about a home church I am sure this month we will make that choice.
Also Pastor Scott, during Church, said he felt we were to do a church wide 21 day fast starting Monday... He said that it did not have to be a full fast (no food) but something like sugar (which was Scott's) face book, text, sodas.... So at lunch today David, Casey and I all decided that for 21 days we are going to go without sweets, soda and sugar.. Then on Sunday we will put ALL technology things away phone, computer, TV and just be together. Which sounds easy but I know it will be hard. So after this fast none of us should want SUGAR... LOL (I HOPE). Well I know you are suppose to go into a fast with a purpose, so our purpose is first and foremost to get closer to God we have not been praying or really anything like we should be this past year 2009 and it feels it and shows it in our thinking and acting.
So starting Monday David and I are going to do an AcaiTrim Cleans (which I have heard you need to do a cleans before you start a diet) and every night we are going to do wii fit. I will weigh myself every Monday. Every Monday evening I will let you all know how I am doing. This is Very big for me since I don’t like for everyone to know what I weigh I would rather you know how bad our money is…. There are so many diet plans, pills, this and that’s out there. David and I have chosen to cut our food intake in half, no sodas (part of our fast) and do the wii fit plus game. We do want bikes but that is an expense we cannot afford right now.
Honestly I would love for you guys whom take the time to read my blog to just pray for us. If you have a word for us PLEASE leave a comment. I tell you as many of you know this already that weight loss and debt reduction is not easy and I am one that I like people to tell me I am doing a good job.

I do believe 2010 is David and My year to have that unusual favor unusual blessing and total relationship restoration... We just have to get back to putting God first in everything we do and OBEY him... My eyes have been so open today soaking in all of what Scott said today with what David and I want to accomplish this year. Now there was allot more Pastor Scott said today I would encourage you all to go to the website of the church and listen to the podcast. I know I heard what I needed to hear today... Scott Beard thank you so much for the message today…
