One Whole Week

Well, we're 7 days into the New Year and things are off to a good start.  I've been busy writing and very excited about my upcoming projects.  I've been working on my first book for a while now, but never really put a deadline to it.  I now have a deadline of June 30th.  It's scary to think that I'll have a book completely written  by then, but it's driving me to produce some good work.  I want it to be successful and I want my book to make a difference in someone's life.


With the vision of completing my first book, I've also had ideas for children's books as well.  I'm currently writing my first children's book, and will also be writing a book teaching children how to speak Spanish.  I actually have 3 completed children's books...in my head.  It's must a matter of getting them from my head onto the page.  I've given myself a deadline of April 30th for these children's books to be completed.  


I'm now on Day 7 of the Daniel fast and I must say that I'm pretty proud of myself.  I haven't fallen off the wagon.  I am frustrated with myself because while I'm fasting from certain foods, I'm still not utilizing my time wisely with prayer and worship.  The purpose of my participation in the Daniel fast is to seek His face daily.  I get up early in the morning, but I've allowed my concerns to consume my mind.  I find it difficult to concentrate on His Word because I've allowed myself to become distracted by other thoughts.  I'm thankful that the Lord is so forgiving, and has allowed me to see another day.


There's so much work to be done and I'm becoming a little overwhelmed by it all, but I've go to shift my focus and take one step at a time towards achieving my goals.  I really don't have time to become overwhelmed, but I do.  I want success and financial freedom.  I want a meaningful relationship with my Father, and I want to do His will.  


Thank you Father for the desire to get it right.  I want to do Your will, but I'm scared.  I love You and know that You haven't given me the spirit of fear.  I will walk boldly in Your word because I trust You.  Bless You Lord and thank You.
