Day 21!!
It's the last day of my 21 day challenge!! I feel like I have really been changed. It really has been wonderfully freeing just to turn the tv off for a while. A major "revelation" that I had during this challenge was to forgive those that I thought "owed me something" it has really made a difference in our financial position as well as freed us emotionally. That is something I know that I will preach from every pulpit I stand in front of. Another thing I learned was that I should handle my children the way the Heavenly Father deals with us as his children. This has really changed the focus of my parenting. It has also taught me alot about who God is and how much he loves us and longs to bless us and take care of our every need, as well as make all our dreams come true. Finally, I learned how to manage my emotions quite a bit better. I can recognize when I am getting angry and handle myself better. I have learned when it's appropriate to show anger and when it's not. I've also learned how much anger it is appropriate to show. But, one of the most important thing that I've learned is that I can only do so much on my own. It's not about try your best and let God handle the rest. It's about giving it all to HIM daily. Letting Him take control of my life, every morning, every hour if I have to.
Your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.
Matthew 6:8
God knows what we need before we ever know that we need it. When we give our lives completely over to Him, he can take a hold of the drivers wheel and provide for all of our needs- not just physical needs but ALL our needs-before we even ask.
I will still be adding this verse to my prayer list every day...
Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.
Psalm141:3
I hope that you all have enjoyed this journey and taken a little part of it with me.

Thank YOU for sharing it with everyone!
You have grown and learned through these three weeks, that is obvious by what you've written. You are being transformed by the renewing of your mind; transformation not of your self, but of God.
