Unmasked

     I'm not much of a fan of New Year's Resolutions. However, I do think that the New Year is an excellent chance to make a conscious choice to change or improve our lives. Next week I will embark on my own journey of valuing myself and others outside of materialistic things. On Janauary 1, 2014 I will commit myself to not buying clothes for an entire year. I am committing myself to learning to see beyond materialistic things. I am committing myself to love and be loved for who I am and for who others are, nothing more, nothing less.

     This journey will not be easy, especially for me. Hopefully, it will help me learn to truly value myself and others as image bearers of the Most High. Hopefully, it will lead me closer and closer to God's heart. Material things are easy cover ups, just like make up or food,etc. It's time for us to live unmasked lives, so that people can see God's redemptive power in every single aspect of our lives. My journey is bound to be challenging and might even reveal brokeneddnes within my own heart and life that is often ignored. Still, no matter where this road takes me, I am confident that He is with me every step of the way. 

     As I embark on this journey, I would love it if you all would pray for me. Some of my friends have also decided to give one thing up in an effort of support, please pray for them as well. I plan to keep a journal daily and compile them into a weekly blog(posted here). I also plan on creating a Twitter and Instagram, especially for my journey.Let's be unmasked in 2014!

God bless,
