Day 10

Today was another good day. I snoozed a couple of times this morning, but still made it to the church in enough time to clean some things up before prayer. We left the stage design all over the place when we left the church yesterday. It's going to be a cool stage design though. I'm pretty excited about it. No headaches today although I felt as though there was one threatening me later on in the day, but it never surfaced. Certain periods of the day proved to be lower on energy than others. I'm noticing a trend. I'm great first thing in the morning (full of energy, amped up, excited about the day, etc.), but around 8am lasting until around 1pm I'm drained physically. It's so odd. After that I have another burst of energy that lasts until I get home (for the most part) and then I'm winding down. I've felt like I would almost vomit today. Not sure why, but it's felt like something was just resting right below my larynx. I don't think I drank enough water today. I'll do better with that tomorrow. I'm down 18 lbs...wow! This is crazy! I know that the weight loss won't be this rapid always, but it's fun while it's happening. I don't plan on ever gaining it back. I'm at 452 lbs. right now, and I'm looking forward to getting out of the 400 club...ha! Been here too long.

Joshua 3:6 - And Joshua spoke to the priests, saying, "Take up the ark of the covenant and cross over ahead of the people." So they took up the ark of the covenant and went ahead of the people.

This is such a powerful verse! If The Lord, in fact, gave me this passage to study at this point of my life because I am likened to Joshua then this is a HUGE verse. For a couple of years I've heard myself be referred to as a pastor's pastor quite a few times. I think that's beyond an honor, and nothing that I've ever considered myself. However, if that is a calling on my life then I know that this verse means so much more to me than it would've at any other point in life. The priests were the Divinely-appointed religious leaders who directed themselves and others in the proper service of God (this is depicted in Exodus 28 with Aaron and his sons), but in THIS moment God is calling Joshua to direct the priests. Wow! Joshua spoke confidently to the priests the instruction from The Lord, and the priests obeyed. It is time for me to walk in that same authority and power. I know that I posses it, but I'm always nervous to put it to use. 2014 is the year that I change that. I'm praying that The Lord will continue to clarify my prophetic vision and calling so that I can continue to be utilized as one of His mouthpieces. This is a BIG deal for me. I'm changing. Physically and Spiritually changing. For the glory of the King and the betterment of myself. What an amazing journey so far. Clarity has never been, well, clearer.

The pic for tonight is one of excitement. I'm ready to go to bed, BUT I'm excited about what The Lord is doing with me. Praise God!!!
