Embrace the Challenge! See what God can do!

I was driving through town yesterday listening to WBFJ (our local Christian radio station) just listening and singing and it dawned on me that this music that I listen to and support with a monthly gift is very seldom a form of worship for me. Of course when I am at church I worship through song but in my car it has become just noise and something to sing along to. Sometimes there is a song that I focus on and listen to the lyrics but mostly I just listen absentmindedly. Then I thought about my daily walk with Christ and admitedly it has been lacking in intimacy and good honest work lately. Then I had (or God placed) a thought that I should give myself a 30 day challenge. I know what you might be thinking, "Jessica this isn't like weight loss, it has to be a daily committment." With that mindset, this is exactly like weight loss, except what you lose is yourself and what you gain is a mind like Christ! I can't think of a better plan! So here is my personal 30 day challenge for the month of September to revamp and refocus my personal relationship with Christ:

30 day challenge:
1. Read my Bible every day for 30 days.
2. Spend time in prayer and meditation every day for 30 days.
3. Challenge my mindset and daily attitude toward my surroundings every day for 30 days.
4. Remind myself that Christ comes before everything every day for 30 days.
5. Blog about what God is doing in my life often for 30 days. (I won't promise that I'll blog every day, Lord knows I barely have time to breathe most days)
6. Challenge myself with evangelism every day for 30 days.
7. Lift up my husband in prayer every day for 30 days.
8. Challenge God to use me in ways that might make me uncomfortable every day for 30 days. (This one makes me nervous)
9. Manage my time better in the morning every day for 30 days so that I can get my Jesus time in before the world comes crashing down on me during the day.
10. Lastly, enjoy this and hold on tight!

So now that I have publicly announced my personal 30 day challenge, here is your challenge:
Do this with me and see what God can do! Share with me what God is doing!

Please let me know if you decided to join me in my journey to spiritual renewal in September!
