Day #6…Feeling Stronger at 7a.m.

Hey World:
Let me begin by saying that I am so grateful not to be as hungry as I have been the last 5 days. I have 34 more days to go on this life-changing journey. The other days I ‘ve awakened with great weakness and crazy hunger. This morning was much better. It lets me know that my body has started feeding off of itself (that’s a good thing) as well as the internal cleansing that’s taking place now. My skin is dryer and scaly because my body is throwing off toxins through the skin. Yippee!!

Fasting Day #5…35 to Go

Hello World:
Yes, I am on this 40 day journey of fasting. I am consuming water and one (1) glass of special juices each day. Why am I doing this? I’m glad that you asked (smile). It’s all about becoming a maximized vessel of clay. I am a “Maximized-Living” Coach. My goal is to help vessels of clay (you and I) use every gift that we have been given by the Master Potter—at it’s maximum capacity. We are all on this Potter’s Wheel TOGETHER. We want to get rid of all of the “junk” and “stuff” in our lives in order to be more pliable on the Potter’s wheel. We want to be molded for greatness.
I said all of that to tell you why I’m taking my body through such a great sacrifice. In getting rid of the “stuff” in my life I’m getting rid of my habit of eating too much. I call it “food addiction”. I want to learn discilpline in all areas—eating is no exception. It’s a hinderance. Now, your “stuff” may entail something else other than overeating. Whatever your “stuff” may be, we can handle it together during this 40-day journey. Yes, I’m at the end of day 5, but it’s not too late for you to join me. No, you do not have to give up all foods to join me. You can just give up your favorite foods, meats, sodas, coffee or whatever is your SACRIFICE. Just leave your name, city, state and zip in the comment box at the end of this blog and tell us what sacrifice you’ll be making, in terms of food, along this journey that we are on. You are also welcome to join me on the conference call at 6 a.m. in the morning. The number and access code is @ 6am Monday @ 712-451-6150 /access code 994031#. Free call. We will be encouraging you to sacrifice and move forward whether you are fasting or not.
In terms of the ups and downs of this fasting journey, today has not been as much of a “hunger-filled” day as much as yesterday was. Yesterday was….”wow”. I was so very hungry. I craved every type of wrong food imaginable. But, I made it through. Today, my skin has been dry and itchy–which is a sign of the body beginning to detox.
The wonderful thing about today is how I have received such awesome revelations and insights about my life. I am able to see my life on brand new levels. This lets me know that great things are on the horizon for me and for others. I am understanding things in detail. Understanding is so vital in the pursuit of greatness. Greatness so involves the Mater Potter’s ULTIMATE plan for our lives. That is center.
Okay, I’m craving ice water right now, That’s very unusual for me because generally, I do not like ice in my beverages. So, I will go and have a glass of ice water now. Remember: GREATNESS (which encompasses your TRUE purpose and destiny) AWAITS YOU! Don’t live this life that you’ve been given and miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Question: What are you REALLY called to accomplish in this life? Do you know what it is? Are you doing it at all? Are you doing it at a maximized level? Think about it.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra

Hello World:
Anyone who has ever fasted knows that days one and two are difficult. In fact the first week can be a challenge. So, it’s after 6 p.m. and I’m feeling the hunger so, I will pause (after writing this blog) and pray, read and maybe journal. I want to lose some inner weights for myself and others. I want to gain more wisdom, knowledge and understanding in all matters. I will be moving into the next phases of what life is supposed to be right NOW, during and after this journey.
I pray that all of you reading this e-mail will make a decision to take destiny by storm! People, it is not about doing what others do. You must pursue YOUR OWN DESTINY & PURPOSE!!! You were not created to be a duplicate of anyone else. You are made AND still being made in God’s image. So, celebrate YOU. DEVELOPE YOU!!! Allow Him to mold YOU. Find out life’s purpose for YOU!
These 40 days of no food will mold me in new ways and position me to help to shape the lives of others ON GREATER LEVELS. I appreciate the fact that I am an original. You should as well.
Okay, in all honesty, I have a slight hunger headache right now. So, I need to go and “fill up” in God’s presence and with other positive devotions. Please feel free to leave a comment and join me on this 40-day journey of sacrifice. Remember: You may not be able to give up all foods—maybe just your favorite things or maybe the television is your vice. Whatever, just come along and let’s live better.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra

Still Standing

Hello World:
We all have encountered many ups and downs, bumps and bruises. Life has a way of teaching us so many things. I’m staying home most of today to reflect on my life’s lessons. And what I’ve learned with each experience.
Today, this beautiful Saturday, is my way of making the most of all that life has given. I am reflecting, praying, thinking, FORGIVING, learning and being grateful that through every lesson…I AM STILL STANDING—and so are YOU. Guys, we have made it to this juncture in our lives. No life experience has kept us from making it to today. Wow. I’m impressed.
God has not given up on His investment in us, His vessels of clay. I know that my time of “life education studies” today will help me to live life more fully tomorrow. I am learning so much by slowing down and taking the time to learn from all experiences (both good and bad) and not living a life full of just joy and regrets and learning nothing. I was reading a scripture in Proverbs in the Amplified translation of the Bible and it defined wisdom as being a combination of God’s Word and life’s experiences. That is so profound and so real
So, you might want to join me on my journey of discovery of life’s lessons. This is my personal education and freedom. Through every memory, victory and mistake I am reminded that you and I are still standing. Wow..
Much love to each of you,
Melody Sherra
