Well here is my very first blog! I have a farm blog which just keeps everyone updated, but this blog is just for me! I haven't decided what it is going to be. I am sure that it will morph over time.  I am on a journey...to find passion.  I think when most people think of passion, they think of a strong feeling between a man and a woman. Passion is so much more than that though. What are you passionate about? And so the journey begins...

My husband went to visit my long time mentors, Acey and Sarae Martin, and they are all about passion. It is why we love being around them! They encourage us in our passions. Over the years, getting married and having kids, I feel as though I have lost my passion.  Maybe I never really took the time to find it in the first place.

So, I am embarking on a 40 day journey of transformation.  I am committing to focus on me and getting my life back in order. I have become a victim of life with an excuse for everything and I need to change.  I am committing to specific goals for my mind, body and soul.

Here is my challenge, maybe you will consider challenging yourself in those areas that you need it:
MIND
-Write something you are thankful for each day in your journal
-Complete 4 different personality tests
-Read 1 book
BODY
-Follow 4-Hour Body diet plan
-Exercise 30 min 4x/week
-Take vitamins everyday
SOUL
-Memorize Col 3:12-17
-Do daily devotions
-Find and write one verse to stand on each day

Today is DAY 2 of my adventure and it is going well! I have not realized that I haven't been spending any real time with God. I am doing a Precept study on Exodus and it is amazing to me the behavior of the Israelites! But deep down, I know that I am not that different from them.  God removed His presence from them because of their disobedience.  I have learned that the more we commune with and obey God, the more we will KNOW Him.  We will sense His presence and have peace. That is what I long for and that is what I am running after.   40 days of transformation...I am excited for what God will do in me! I'll keep you posted!
