February Declarations

Hi Friends! 

Y'all know at the beginning of each month, I declare positive things and speak life over the month. 

I started to do this after I spent a month feeling DRAGGED by life. Like waking up and the world, the current news, societal pressures, and my feelings destroyed each day. 

That was a whole month of agony, to put it lightly. I didn't like who I became as I reacted to everything in front of me.

So long story short, I decided each month that I would dictate what the month would look like for me, instead of the month and all its' chaos dictating my every move, highlighting my every fear, and my behaviors being outside of the will of God.

See, I believe I serve a God who is proactive, and doesn't live reacting to everything that happens. The bible says, "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Deuteronomy 31:8)

So if the Lord goes before me, I will live in the territory he dwells in ahead of me, instead of being tossed to and fro in life's disappointments.

February, I welcome you. Here's what we're doing this month by the grace of God that goes before me:

♡ I'm building my faith muscle. I will do the hard things this month. I will face fear in the eyes, maybe even in tears, but I will make progress in the areas I deem "hard."

♡ If I envision it, I will create it. The area between vision and action is stagnancy, discontentment, and fear. Don't stay there too long, friends. Y'all tired of "wishing" for things? Yeah, me too. This is my season of doing the work of my vision. It's time to check some things off the wish list. "It is finished!" 

♡ I'm totally committed to my friendship with Jesus this month. "I put my faith in Jesus. My anchor to the ground. My hope and firm foundation. He'll never let me down." Check this worship song out, now!  Jesus, you'll be the first to know...everything.

♡ Joy is mine, daily. I flow from the fullness of joy. I make decisions from the fullness of joy. I love others from the fullness of joy. 

♡ God showed me that what I fasted from in January of 2021, is what I need less of the whole year of 2021. I'll consume what I fasted from less frequently in February. 

I'm being proactive and less reactive in February of 2021..."And that's on Mary Had A Little Lamb." 😉

I would love to hear your February declarations! Share below!
