Quiet and Confident Mondays

For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. Proverbs 3:26

Since my word for the year is CONFIDENCE, this year I am switching my Monday titles from My Intentional Mondays to Quiet and Confident Mondays. As I look back on the year and reflect on my Intentional year... there are places where I can see growth, and places where I can see failure. There are lessons learned and many more to learn. As Christians I don't think we ever really stop growing, changing, and attempting to purge sin, pride, self-righteousness and become more Christ-like.

This week my focus is on prayer and fasting. My posts are scheduled ahead, so I will be avoiding spending too much time on the internet so I can spend more time focusing on my Lord and Savior. Over the past several years in January, I have joined in with many other praying folks over at the SUM Community (a community of unequally yoked believers praying for their pre-believing spouses) for a week of fasting and prayer. I do this for many reasons, but mostly because it helps draw the focus of my year to Christ, what His will is for me and our family, and puts things in perspective. It's a time to reflect and plan for the year ahead, to pray for my spouse and my family. What an awesome way to jump start the year! If you are interested in joining just hop on over to their BLOG and join in!
