Today marks the beginning of 21 days of prayer and fasting. I've been through this several times now in my life and at the end I always try to figure out why I don't do it more. But there seems to be something different about this year. I'm not sure what it is yet but I feel restless in my spirit. Like something is about to happen...don't worry it's something good. I've redirected the focus of this blog. I think the name still fits because I need a "TURN" in my life. I'm weary of the same path I've been on for the last several years and I'm ready for a change of scenery. I need God to begin to "turn" me into the person He wants me to be. I feel a bit like the children of Israel who wandered around for years only to have God finally say "you've walked around this mountain long enough" then He gave them the direction to walk in. I'm deciding to let God make my "turns" this year. I read something today in Exodus 3:3 "Then Moses said, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush does not burn."
I guess I feel a little like Moses. I've been so distracted by other things that I've failed to realize that God is doing something great right beside me. Well no more...I'm going to stop what I'm doing, stop being distracted, stop being busy, stop being angry, stop being dissatisfied and start looking at God. I can feel the fire burning, it's time to TURN ASIDE AND LOOK!!
