The Word of God Is Alive and Active

The Word of God Is Alive and Active- Day 1

The Devil knew I was starting this fast on November 1, 2011 and he went to work. This is not an exaggeration people in my office brought donuts, cookies, candy and for petes sakes BAGELS to work on Monday. One day 1, this was nothing I could not handle (we will get to day 2). I would pass by the cookies and smile, look at the donuts and dominate, and believe it or not the bagels were nothing to me. Even all the people in my office were like nelly, are you okay? And it felt awesome to let them know what I was doing, and explain to them who Daniel was and why I was doing this. Just the opportunity to talk about the Bible during work already is making this whole thing worth it. I went to the gym, I ate lettuce and tomatoes and a banana for dinner and then went to meet up with some girlfriends to catch-up. As the wine bottle was passed around, I began to explain why it wasn’t going to be an option for a few weeks. O yes! Another door was opened to talk about what God was doing in my life, and what I was doing to know him more.

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.-Hebrews 4:12

I FEEL THAT VERSE IN MY LIFE! I am falling in love with my heavenly father, and I am getting answers to questions I have wondered about my entire life. How did God know, how did he know I would be able to feel my spirit and my bone divided? I do not have words for what God is doing, but my heart is changing. The Holy Spirit is in my head about everything, about going back to pick up the straw wrapper I dropped even though the wind has blown it a block away to hating the music I used to live for.

Sure I hate vegetables, and am so over fruit right now this is the most at peace I have ever felt in my life.

AMEN!

In him,

Nelly
