This past January I found this book The Awakening, I was looking for something and I stumbled onto to it. Sometimes in our walk with the Lord you get stale(for the lack of a better word) and I needed a kind of a revival of some sort.
I started to read this and WOW it was and continues to be an amazing tool to REVIVE, RENEW AND REFRESH your relationship with God. If you have lost your love, your passion, your "want to" attitude in your relationship with God, let's get those back.It is time to get your fight back, hit the reset button, and experience God in an incredibly fresh, new way. Stovall Weems is the author and is Pastor of Celebration Church in Jacksonville Florida.
He wants you to be successful in this journey so he is supplying resources to help you with this one being the book and the other this website www.awakening21.org It starts out with praise and worship then a small devotional and word of encouragement three times a day. What I haven't mentioned is this is a book about prayer and fasting. I didn't know that when I first saw it, the title grabbed my attention and after reading the first few sentences I was hooked. This was definitely what I was looking for. God allows us to go through things in our lives so that we are equipped to handle situations. It's not If it's when they happen. When I started this the first time it was amazing, so many wonderful things came out of it!!! Now, I am on my second time around and I have to admit this one is not so easy.I wanted to do this again to be an encouragement to someone but to my surprise that person stopped but I was compelled to continue. Now I know He was really preparing me for what's coming.
God is showing me so much this time around. I do appreciate everything that is happening good and bad because I am becoming more dependant on God and not myself.
I always want to take the control and try and work it out but I have no control over what happens HE does, and that is OK. So through this journey I will put on my BIG GIRL PANTIES and deal with it but with God right by my side.........
