I'm Giving Up Starbucks
I love a good challenge. Actually, I don't love them, but I do believe that challenges build character and that they are essential for experiencing a full and abundant life.
As you may remember, earlier this year I challenged myself to read the entire Bible in a year. I also participated in a 30-day Scripture Challenge in February, in which I posted, tweeted, instagramed, etc. a piece of scripture, according to a specific theme, every day.
Beginning today, for the next 40 days, I will be participating in the 40-Day Challenge, through Overcome the Lie.
The purpose of this challenge is to create "space for Jesus to come and impact our hearts" and to discover how much we are loved by God. Unconditionally. Without a cost. His love has been given to us.
As part of the challenge, I will be paired up with another woman who I can pray for and who will pray for me. I will also receive daily emails of encouragement and a daily challenge that will enable me to discover the fullness and richness of God's love for me.
In addition to the daily challenges I will receive, I was asked to consider giving up something for these 40-days. I prayed and asked God what He would have me remove from my life during the challenge. Do you know what he said?
Starbucks.
I was just as surprised as you are.
This next 40-days are not going to be easy. But, I am confident that God will do something amazing through this challenge.

Wow lady, you are so motivating!!! This inspires me to want to do one of those challenges!! I'm trying to read through the entire Bible in a year too but am a bit behind on my plan!
I am so excited about Overcome the lie! I think it's going to bring such breakthrough to all of us who are participating...I just got my info on the challenge yesterday and I haven't felt led to fast anything yet?!? Praying you are so richly blessed during these 40 days!
I love a good challenge too. You can do it! Looking forward to following your progress.

what a neat thing to do and be a part of!
I'm doing the 40 day challenge as well! I'm giving up staying up late (I'm a night owl) and my partner is giving up the snooze button! We were paired perfectly! lol Good idea on the SB. I have a weekly habit I need to break there as well.
