“40 days of juice. I’m asking you to drink juice for the next 40 days? No chewing any food. No solids, straight vegetable and fruit juice.”
Say what???
“You’ve gotta be kidding me? I love my food way too much…and not to mention no chewing…just slurping some nasty juice? There is no way I could ever do something so drastic!”
Well my friends, that was the conversation I had with God one early morning, last October. I was snuggled in my favorite chair, enjoying the solitude, sipping my hot coffee when God stirred my spirit to take a giant step towards radical obedience.
I was in a season where God was opening up many doors in my Christian Life Coaching business. During that time, he also impressed on my heart to write a book about the truths I’ve learned to live by since my near death experience. I did not take his instructions lightly. I knew this was something I could not do in my own strength.
After a few minutes of complaining and arguing with God about this ridiculous juice fast, he whispered, “If I cannot trust you with food, how can I trust you with people?”
Those words pierced my heart and there was no way I could deny what he was asking me to do.
Later that morning I shared with my bible study group that I was going to start a 40-day juice fast the very next day and asked for their earnest prayers. I sobbed as we prayed together because I knew this was going to be a life long pivotal moment in my relationship with the Lord. Following Christ with radical obedience wasn’t going to be for this one occasion; instead it was going to become the way of life….a new kind of normal.
As I write this post, ten months has past and I’m currently in the process of signing with a literary agent. I’ve learned that radical obedience is really the only way to experiencing life with deep satisfaction.
Have you ever had a “Say What” moment with God? I would love to hear from you!

Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth. Psalm 124:8
No matter how hard I try to turn over complete control of my life to God, I inevitably manage to hold onto one little tiny shred of it. Especially when it comes to letting go of control over my future. I go from needing answers in black and white to somehow “fully relying on God”. To be completely honest, I struggle with staying committed to turning to the Lord for my every need. Today I want to ask you a few questions.
What is your biggest need right now?
What areas are you struggling in?
Where do you need encouragement in your life?
Will you take a leap of faith and share with me your needs today?
~I want to know how I can best encourage you!~
