Changing it up….

Sunday at Lifepoint lit a fire in me. I’ve been planning on going back to Brazil for sometime now…but I started focusing on everything that wasn’t working out instead of everything that was. To be honest…I started getting stuck on me! I stopped reading the bible so much and started going by what others were saying. Even if it was wrong. I was starting to believe the lies satan was telling me. Sunday got me fired up. I’m done with focusing on myself, at least trying to be done. My biggest struggle is my mind. I analyze, over analyze to the point where I get so frustrated and angry…Ill quit. I can’t do that anymore. I have to learn to depend on God and where he is leading me..where he has called me. 

 

Im making a few changes to start this journey yet again.

#1 Im going to make things simple. Sell the things that I dont really need. Im moving to Brazil and I cant take the ‘things’ with me. A yardsale is in the plans. The money I get from that, I will put it towards raising my funds to get to Brazil. 

 

#2 The money left over from my paychecks after I pay my bills will be going into the funds for Brazil. I dont need all these extra things. Again, what am I going to do with them. It’s just stuff. 

 

#3 Get to know who God really is, in my life. See what he means to me. Dig as deep as I can into Him and get a real relationship going. 

 

#4 Work on the fundraisers!! This is proving to actually be a lot of fun. 

 

#5 Start praying really hard for others, focusing on what I can do to help them.

 

#6 Learn a new way to guide my analyzing into something useful. Instead of letting it get me in a funk, try figuring out a way to help instead of hurt.

 

Im making a list tonight of more goals Im working on, these were just off the top of my head for now. I need everyones prayers cause I know, just by even thinking about Brazil again and wanting to get closer to God….satan has put out a warrant on me…and Im not about to give up my position as a Child of God. I have to be here for something…and I want to figure it out. So begins the journey again. And I think its going to be even crazier then last time. I will write more later!!
