Day 25...going on 26

CAUTION: APOLOGIES FOR ANY HORRIBLE SPELLING/GRAMMAR ERRORS WHICH MAY CAUSE AWKWARD READING!!!!!

Today is day 25 of the Facebook Fast, and it's been going really well. Almost so well that I  barely get online to do anything which means I haven't posted anything on this blog in almost a month? Ok that is ridiculous...I am sorry (mainly to my friend who is so kind and has a wonderful blog and she knows how to use grammar correctly, unlike moi haha)

Again, I am sorry for my goals and expectations that I have totally burned and seem to have forgotten, but that gets me to thinking...have I ever treated my relationship with God this way? Have I made this amazing and lavish promises and goals and then forget about them because I in turn only love the things that God gives me in return? Or have I also set myself up to doing all of these things thinking that they will in turn make me look better in His eyes, and the moment I fail at them I feel unworthy? I know you're probably thinking, "Taylor, you just forgot to make a few blog posts...", true, but I believe God uses even the smallest thing as not posting on a blog as a tool to teach.

So far these past 24 days have just flown by. It's already November the month where thankfulness is key. P.S. Challenge readers this month think of something you are grateful/thankful for everyday and it has to be different. The first couple of days might be easy but as you get into the little things like air, sight, the ability to walk/talk the list goes on. I saw some people do this and I liked the idea, and I think everyone should do it. Hey why not do it everyday for the rest of your life? Now that would be interesting.

Sorry I went down a bunny trail. :) Not being on Facebook seems to make Facebook think that they constantly have to send me e-mail alerts of what I am "missing" by not being on Facebook, and that got me thinking too. God has really being pushing and challenging me and I was thinking of the word "missing" and how it's really been a major factor in my life. I am afraid of missing my purpose. I don't want to miss the chances I have been given to share the good news. Missing. Missing. Missing. So I've been looking in all directions, but one place I now know I need to ultimately look to is God. Francis Chan put it really nicely in his book, Crazy Love-which I totally think people should read-that God will ensure success in accordance with His plan in our lives. So I need to stop worrying about missing and start pursuing my life and love for God who will show me how to find what I need.

Wow, I really hope I didn't jump from one subect to the next, but I feel that I did because I tend to. From this blog I hope that writing out all of what God puts on my heart can also help me to organize and actually maybe start to make sense.

EXCITING NEWS!!!
I have my first book I am going to review! Yippe! So excited and nervous!
Have a great day!

God Bless,
Taylor
