The church I attend is going into a fast this month and have asked the whole church to join in on it. I can’t exactly give up eating because I am trying to get better in that area, but I will be fasting on other areas the Lord is asking me to fast in. These are areas I’ve been trying to cease for a while but always failed to. The pastor claims this is the year of fulfilled promises, and I’m praying to God He does just that. 

Not only am I participating in the fast, I’m also reading a devotional to go along with it. I’m hoping it ties everything really well. I’m trying to improve all of my relationships. That includes the ones here on Earth and the one in Heaven. I have to improve my relationship with my Heavenly Father before I plan on improving my relationship with others. Those will never get better if I’m not right with God. This is my declaration: I’m going to do by absolute best to lose myself in my Lord. I lost myself in 2015. I lost myself in others. I’m going to lose myself once again in 2016, but this time it’s in God. And in losing myself in Him, I will actually find who I really am. I will find who He has created me to be.

The Lord has made me promises, and you bet I expect to see them through. I am starting of the new year by giving it to God. This year belongs to Him, and I want to see all He has for me unfold. He has already poured out all His blessings for me this year, so I’m going to get a hold of them. I’m excited to see what this year has in store. A lot of great things are waiting for me, calling me name. Here’s to God’s Work. Here’s to heartwork.
