Choose the Right Path and Mentor

Day 15
I can’t believe it’s been two weeks now since we began this journey. I’ve pondered today what have I learned but maybe the better question is - what’s different about me? Has it begun to make any difference that I am digging into God’s word to seek out guidance and wisdom?

My first observation is that I think of the Lord more often. Actually, I think of Him all throughout the day now. I think of how my actions, thoughts, plans, everything I say or do is viewed through His eyes. Some days I’m ashamed or disappointed. Some days I know that I have dodged a bullet because I tried to think through a situation the way He would have me think instead of just my own way. I’ve mentioned several times that I also have a greater sense of calm and clarity. I’m not saying I have it all figured out. Trust me when I say that I absolutely do not. This isn’t a 100 day journey, this is a lifelong journey. But I guess if I had to sum it up, I would say that I know I have chosen the right path, the right Mentor. I also realize that in God’s eyes, it’s not about who I am, it’s much more about who I am becoming. I’m encouraged when I read in Phillipians 1:6 ‘being confident of this, that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.’ I know that the Lord has a lot more work to do in me and work that will be done through me. I’m excited to see where the next 85 days will lead! And I’m so glad that you are sharing this journey with me.
