40 down, none to go!

Where to start, where to start.. First off i'd like to just say that this journey has really opened my eyes, my heart, my soul up to receive so much more of God. I see God in my daily life more than I have seen before. I am able to openly be generous, openly care for others before myself, and just to see God in everything I do. I praise God for so much that I have become. Although 40 days may seem short but taking the time out of your day to do something worthwhile can really change your perspective on life. Before I saw my life as just a repetitive notion i had to go through daily.. nothing exciting, no change, etc. But now that I am able to show God's love throughout my day and share His greatness, i find that it's made me so much more open-minded. Now i find myself actually CRINGING to words/sentences that were only said to hurt others or to just poke fun.

Amen to Ann. I look forward to this 40 day journey to being a yearly thing, maybe even semester thing. May God show me more of Himself even AFTER this journey. Without Him, we, as humans, are powerless.

Today as my celebration of the end of this amazing journey, I ordered pizza for everyone who stayed after bible study today. I don't want to be known as the girl who "doesn't usually do this" or the girl who's "cheap". I want to be known as the girl who is openly generous no matter what. For "God provides" (quoting Ann/Bible).

Feeling evermore so faithful and hopeful for the future,
