the 90 day journey of becoming whole...

Someone I consider really "sold-out" for God once said "I've got to keep up physically with what God is doing spiritually". This woman desires to keep her body and mind healthy so she is fully prepared to do whatever God asks of her. It just so happens that it's always quite an adventure! Well... this stuck with me. And just today, as i was speaking to my Naturopathic doctor and friend on the phone, she said, "everyone always wants the quick, easy, cheap solution or fix but that's not how God cares to build up his army." So where is God calling us? And how is He calling us to get there?

Basically, I believe that God is calling His people to the next step. Collectively He's calling us into a new season...a season of letting go of comforts and relying on Him for all our needs, a season of simplifying, detoxing (mind, body and soul)...a season of giving till it hurts, being unoffendable, hanging out at a place you wouldn't normally be caught dead in, a season of not seeing others as a target for our agenda but a person to simply love with His agenda...it's time to lay down our preferences and pick up HIS. This challenge isn't for the faint of heart or anyone who wants to continue on with life as normal. This is for the person who desires change, who wants to be challenged and see growth, someone who is seeking something more and willing to do whatever it takes! This... is the journey of becoming WHOLE.

So, what I've done is taken the "90 Day Bible Challenge", the "90 Day Vi Protein Shake Challenge", and "P90X" to create "90 Days to Becoming Whole". I'm basically cutting the "unhealthies" out of my life during this time such as: sugar, processed foods, television, and caffeine. This helps detox the mind and body! I'll be maintaining several things like: meditation of the word, soaking in the Lord's presence and love, controlling my thoughts, earning the right to be heard by intently listening, thinking/speaking positively, stretching, deep breaths, creating things, taking max-one (max.com), using Barlean's products (barleans.com), and sharing His love and truth with others. I'd like to also be looking for a creative way to serve someone each day.

The more i understand who God is, the more He reveals His purpose for all creation and the more i see how important it is to be WHOLE- mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally healthy. All of these are important to our relationships with people and to God. All of these are connected and if we neglect one they are all affected. If you choose to be a part of this challenging yet grace filled community, please make this 90 Day thing personal to you! Pray about it and then choose what to lay down and what to implement in your daily life. There is no doubt in my mind that God will use this time to speak into our lives in an eternal and life-altering way! I've decided to begin my journey this Monday, June 21st. Feel free to begin yours whenever you feel it's right... and please let me know so i can be praying for you! The most important thing in all of this is that God receives all the praise and glory for what He's doing in each and every one of us!
