I am so proud of you for being obedient. Ben asked you a heart question and it even challenged me! The truth is: Only what God says matters! One time Jesus showed me that I was listening more to man's opinion (which he says man is like dust) than God's opinion of me! Why do we as women bend our ear to the dust of the ground when we could hear the voice of our Almighty Father in Heaven? Like you, I also must choose to focus on God and not man! I am excited for you - 2007 is going to be your best year ever! You go girl! I am so proud of you for being obedient. Ben asked you a heart question and it even challenged me!

Because sometimes, I do feel like I am pressured to please men, when I know deep in my heart that God is asking me to do otherwise. But the fear sets in like if I do not do what men asks than I will not be accepted or I will not feel complete. And, knowing that you do not want to do that but you know doing what God says is best. I struggle with that a lot at times. So, during our fast I want to focus on doing what God is asking me to do. And, not care about what men thinks or say because I am doing God's will. And, when I do finally do what God tells me to do I do have peace of mind. It is so funny at times, because what men wants and what God wants us to do is totally different. I definitely want to renew my mind in connection with God. I can relate.
