Fall Fasting LTE

This weekend, I did my second Fasting LTE here at the Honor Academy.  For three days I set aside food, electronics, as well as talking in order to set my gaze upon the Lord.  I love the fasting LTE, both times I have done it, I am put in a sincere place of desperation for more of Him.  For this LTE we were told to ask the Lord what He wanted us to do, and write it on a card.  We called it "Because God told me to."  I asked the Lord and He told me to ABIDE. He took me to John 15 where Jesus says abide in me and I will abide in you, apart from me you have nothing.  That hit home to me because so many times I try to figure everything out on my own instead of relying on Him to help me.  About a month ago I went down a process we call roads where you are challenged as a leader and put in different scenarios to see how you will react.  In one o of the sessions for that, we were sharing different struggles that we had and my best friend gave me a word saying that God wanted me to remain IN HIM.  So on a mirror she wrote IN HIM.  At the time yes, I needed that word, but even more so I needed that word this weekend because the two fit together.  ABIDE IN HIM!

This weekend I wrote my mission statement and I would like to share it with you.  This is What the Lord has put on my heart and what I am called for.

My Mission Statement

I am ADOPTED.  He calls me by name and I am His.  I know that my Father knows my heart and it is my quest to know His.  I will trust in Gods plan for my life as He leads me by my right hand.  I will be a bold woman who knows how wonderful she is because she is works of the Fathers hand.  It is my conviction to love others and call out the greatness in them.  It is my passion to labor behind the scenes of something great for the kingdom of God.  I will be an example in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity as I lead others.  I was made for greatness not because of who I am, but because Christ is in me.
