Passing the Test

I am passing the test. As I started this Facebook Fast I was GRIPPED that I need to eliminate from my heart, personality, character, words, countenance, body posture three things: Complaining, Correcting , and Criticizing. As I started the fast and began eliminating the three C's I realized how much time, energy, stress they cost me.  Since I am pruning them I am experiencing  less anxiety and more peace. It's amazing how exhausting it is to try to rule the world!

Last night was a mid-term exam! Oh it hurt! Anguish. On second thought I think it was a pop quiz, not a mid-term because I am only on day (am I counting?) 9 of a 31 day fast. Here is what happened. As I mentioned yesterday Neil said Florida was out---not enough money and not enough reason to go..useless, fruitless, nope!

I did none of the three C's! I held my peace. Huge victory.

 After all, God doesn't need programs and conferences to equip His people. I have victory in choosing the best thing: unity with my husband. I think that is MUCH more important than attending any conference.

As I sit before the Lord daily, function within my local church, stay in right fellowship with other believers, I have to trust that God will withhold nothing I need to increase in the abilities, skills, and giftings that are important to Him.

After all Joseph didn't attend a conference. He was thrown in jail. Daniel didn't attend a conference. He was tossed into a lion's den. Esther didn't attend a conference. She was you might say 'trafficked'. Ezekiel didn't attend a conference. He was exiled.

Whose bright idea was the 'CONFERENCE'?
Thanks for listening!
