Aaron’s inspirational word this week is mountains.
Super exciting news for today! Today is Day 100 of my 100-Days of spiritual re-connection!
The task that I set out for myself was a huge mountain to conquer. When I started this journey on May 22nd, it was with the realization that I had never in my life made God the center of anything. Legit.
Sure I would go to church and I was part of a small group bible study, and I knew all the right things to say and how to act, and when I was in trouble I would pray, but there was no part of my life that I really trusted in God at all. It was all on the surface and because I was so good at putting up this charade of living “a good Christian life” I allowed my private personal life that no one saw to get to a place where I am really ashamed to say that it went.
And over the last few years, it’s been a really great desire for me to have a good relationship that is leading towards marriage and a family and I knew that in order to have that, and other successes in my life, I needed to make some major changes.
It was overwhelming and daunting when I started. 100-days didn’t really seem like all that much when I started but by the end of week one, I was like “ummm how am I only on day 7? It’s got to be a whole month already!?”
There were some major things that I had to conquer. To overcome and take out of my life. These really did feel like mountains in my life. I didn’t think I would be able to break the habits and fight the temptations of them. But I am so proud of myself for doing it and getting here!
I recently got spotify (late to the party, I know) and have been listening to it instead of my own music while I’m out, and specifically this weekend when I’m driving. I have found some worship playlists that I am loving at the moment, and it’s so true that when you listen to/watch play such a huge part in your overall person!
The one playlist I am listening to recently, has this song, and the chorus goes:
When You don’t move the mountains
I’m needing You to move
When You don’t part the waters
I wish I could walk through
When You don’t give the answers
As I cry out to You
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You
It’s such an amazing chorus and I have learned it and sing it out when I’m in the car and it gets stuck in my head all day long – because if the last 100 days have taught me anything, it’s that I need to continue to put God first and trust in him!
Thanks for the word again this week, Aaron! If you haven’t checked out his blog yet, please head over and do that by clicking here. I know he would love to hear from you! And I’d love to read any post you make for the word “mountains”!
Happy Sunday!!

Definitely not easy! Some ways it was easier to doing it during covid, but in other ways more difficult! Happy today is the last day but also not really because it was about making better habits which now are part of my life ☺️☺️

Super proud of you. And obviously God knew something you didn’t because here you are, finishing your 100 days and a whole new chapter in your life is opening at the same time! (Oh, and not sure what the youtube clip was, but it doesn’t play here).
