March Madness or Make-up?

Hey Lovelies,

It's officially the month of March..Happy March!!!! This is the switch point of winter and the beautiful blossom of spring. The month of hope, where we hope and pray that winter doesn't last pass the first week and the aroma of the soft April showers bring in the pretty May flowers earlier than expected. March is where we look for the start of our sunny warm days, with our cool evenings, where we can reminisce of the old summer nights. Though, I am a winter baby, love the snow, and live for winter clothes and oversized sweaters. I would be lying if I said I did not want to sit downtown overlooking the water debating my life with the careless river. I would be lying if I said when I see the severe blizzard (very mild...lol!!), I wouldn't prefer to be headed on some sort of vacation off of an island on a beach somewhere. Those are just my personal preferences though.

This month is about our preferences as a people. Putting things into perspective, a full month from our New Year's resolution, surviving the wonderful historic tells of Black History month, onto the wrap up of winter and introducing spring at it's finest. The month of March is about refreshing oneself and getting reconnected. Making sure that the rest of the year isn't spent in regret. Making sure that anything from this first of the month on is about perseverance for the remaining of the year. It's about a do over for oneself, to start fresh after the shock of another year and hype of love month. March is the beginning of something special a second chance of awesomeness. How are you spending your first of March? How will you renew something in March? How will you reconnect?

Though all this is my opinion. I felt like March is what January and Birthday cake February couldn't help with. My gateway to complete my resolution and bury anything that is not like myself. So this March, I took the vow to fast. This is a month fast, where I truly deny myself of anything that is pleasurable to me. In the month, I will dedicate my mind, body, soul, spirit to the Lord and His purpose for my life. This is time spent away from anything that can jeopardize my relationship with God and my dedication to myself. 

Even though, I am participating in a self proclaim fast, asking for nothing in particular but to grow in Him and get over my own demons. I encourage others to participate, to just give themselves another chances to start over, set a goal, or accomplish something they always wanted to. Not giving up hope on the third month in this year. March is about the march on your life and taking a stand whether it's for yourself, Jesus, family, friends, or just because you are tired. Let March be the beginning of something special for you. Decide to die to yourself and reclaim your life. I am sure the Lord would enjoy receive your heart, it's never too late but sooner is always better then later.

Best,
Your loving, concerned and encouraging friend Bre.
