Day 12 of 21DSD

Aug. 20, 2013 - Day 12 of SD: I just saw the most exciting thing on the news!!! Tonight is a "blue moon!" I LOVE THE MOON!!! Always have, always will! The moon is my favorite! I love the crescent moon, the full moon, the half moon, the tiny little sliver of a moon...I LOVE THE MOON!!! When I see the moon, for some reason, it just makes me feel so close to God. I'm a weirdo, I know, but it DOES! I think one reason is because we are supposed to be like the moon. We shine no light unless we reflect the Son!
I survived another day of detox! I felt as if the Lord was warning me about something - PRIDE. Making this a public battle by posting on Facebook was a decision I made, NOT to call attention to me, but to call me to accountability. It is such an awesome blessing to read and hear all your words of encouragement! To be very real with you, I have to fight the urge to get a little puffed up in the chest and think, "Yeah! I'm all that and a bag of chips!" (Hmmm...tortilla chips with salsa would be good...). I have to keep reminding myself that there is no way I could be doing this on my own power! I am like the moon. I only shine because the Son shines on me!
Happy Blue Moon!
