The First 45

Wow! Time has truly flown by! It’s November already, meaning that a new year is approaching!!

For me, this year has been the year of faith. Growing up, I wasn’t taught how or when to activate my faith.. so this year has been difficult as I’ve learned to come into my own—spiritually and somehow through that, emotionally. But, this post is not to discuss my faith or my journey...

This post is about you! With 45 days left in this year I’m writing to urge you to do something (within God’s eyes) that you never thought possible... to step out on faith and watch how transformed your mind, your actions, your daily routine becomes.

God has been really been working with me on numbers and understanding how He works.. in His time. (I’ll get into this in another blog—soon.. I promise!)—Often, we are stifled by what we can’t see and don’t know.. but surrendering everything to God.. is so awesome.. and makes life less complicated. Before we moved, my best friend encouraged me by saying, “your move is like jumping and not looking.. and having the faith to know that God will land you securely where you need to be.” (Thanks, BFF!)

So for you, unsure of how to manage a relationship, unsure of which career path to take, what church to go to.. you have 45 days to take baby steps in your faith journey.. I guarantee you by January 1, the New Year’s resolution you usually create, will not be necessary because you trust God to do the unthinkable.

Prayer is essential for this 45 day journey so email me (gilmore06@gmail.com) and I will pray with you. Please know that surrendering is not an easy task.. it’s going to be difficult and emotionally draining but He promised us that He will never leave us.. He’s a comforter! And that is reassuring to know :).

So.. let the 45 day journey begin… I hope today you step out on faith and watch what mountains {see below} you move!

Matthew 17:19-21 (NLT)--Afterward the disciples asked Jesus privately, “Why couldn’t we cast out that demon?” “You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
