Hello World:
So glad to have you along this sacrificial 40 day journey. It has taken an extra effort to do everything today because I am at the stage of the fast whereas my energy comes and goes. So tonight, I am tired because we have our 5 am “Full Potential Gathering”. So I had better get rest. I am tired but determined to see what the finish line looks like on November 15th. Yippee!
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra
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!!

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:
It’s after 6 p.m. and I am a bit hungry right now on this 40-day fasting journey. I am drinking water and a glass of specific juices that are high in antioxidants. In spite of my physical hunger, I am more alert spiritually already. Amazing. I am beginning to think about the bigger picture in some different ways.
Guys, we are assigned to pursue the things that are on God’s agenda for our lives. Too often, we have our exclusive agendas, plans and pursuits. They are GOOD in nature. But, it can be so faaaaaaaaaaaaaar from what’s on God’s mind for our lives. During this time of sacrifice, I want to know what’s on God’s mind for my life. Isn’t that what you desire as well?
We’ve been given gifts, ideas, abilities, anointings, etc. I have many gifts (and very grateful for each one)—as I’m sure you do as well. But the question for me now is who, what, when, where and how? I have vacancies in various areas of my life—but I want them ONLY filled with those that God has sanctioned. I’m on a pursuit of the GOD STUFF and not just GOOD STUFF. I need the “people, places, knowledge and all things that are necessary for my purpose and destiny” (part of the GIFTED CLAY CONFESSION). I want my abilities to be directly connected to His favor. You may wonder why I am so adamant about this “God-centered focus”? I am so glad you asked (smile). Because He is the creator and sustainer of ALL. He sees and knows every single thing. There’s nothing and no one higher or more powerful than that. Therefore, it is smart of us to consult the One who knows it all. He is the only INFALLIBLE being.
Plus, let’s not forget HOW SO VERY MUCH HE LOVES YOU AND ME. It’s a love that’s more powerful than words could ever express. When I think of all of the mistakes I’ve made in my 39 years of living—and the fact that His love NEVER diminished in ANY way. Wow. Think about how that wraps around your own life. Isn’t that kind of love amazing? No better One to consult.
So, in my pursuit of greatness (all things maximized), I pursue and consult the GREATEST . Nothing could be bigger or better.
Even though I am on day #3 of this sacrificial journey of fasting—-IT’S NOT TOO LATE FOR YOU TO JOIN. Just leave your comment with your name, city, state and the things that you are willing to sacrifice along this journey. I’m sure that you have some “stuff” in your life that you need help with—-we all do. Join me.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra
Hello World,
Are you the type of person to jump at everything that sounds good? Do you find yourself trying to possess the mountaintop all at once? Do you live in a zone called “immediate gratification”? Is “now or never” your motto? Is “all or nothing” your favorite statement? Do you eat the whole pie in one sitting or one slice at a time? Hmmm… Okay. I see.(I’m just thinking out loud) What am I thinking about? I am so glad you asked (smile). The reason I’m thinking out loud is because I am reflecting on myself…my past self, that is. You see, I used to be the person who would stand in the valley and leap for the mountaintop and SKIP the process of the steps that were necessary for the climb. When you run and never walk or fly and never drive, you miss the beauty that surrounds you. You miss the process of getting from a to z. You run passed the people you need to meet along the way. You miss the plan that accompanies the process. It’s a plan for growth, development, repentance, reflection, overcoming fears, self-awareness, knowledge, newness, revival, new people etc. It is the process that uncovers the promise.
Let me further explain: Every gift, talent and ability that you have been given (spiritually and naturally) as a vessel of clay (human being), comes with a promise. This “promise” consists of whatever reason or purpose you were endowed with the gift from the beginning. God, who is our Master Potter, placed in us gifts for distinct purposes. His purpose is our promise—if we allow the process!!!. Now, I’ll pause right at this moment and allow you to let that to soak in real good and I’ll finish this subject on the next post. Stay tuned.
Much love to you,
Melody Sherra
