One thing I know is that challenging my beliefs is necessary to changing my beliefs. I continue to challenge myself to live Isaiah 41:10. I will not fear, I will not be discouraged because God is my Helper and He is with me! I keep fighting the fight because the fear and discouragement that I struggle with evidences that I do NOT believe that He is with me. However, the Lord showed me yesterday on my bike that the reason that I did not fear when I was younger and living the “bad” life is because the devil was not whispering in my ear 24/7 to doubt my Savior. Just more reason to fight the fight to challenge my beliefs because I am changing my beliefs. One thing that has helped me significantly is using habit #1: PRAISE. He does inhabit the praises of His people. Go Pastor Buddy we appreciate you because of your willingness to lead the way – challenging our beliefs!
Don’t worry Pastor Buddy I have also gained weight during our 21 Day Challenge! haha I’m also pregnant.
These 21 days have been very difficult but it’s getting better as I trust in the Lord and listen to him. Thank you for praying for me! We are continuing to pray for you, your family, and all the pastors and staff.
i was thinking about challenging my beliefs and this is what i came up with today…. I sit and ponder and wonder if its right or if its wrong…. but what if wrong is to do right? i dont know why this came to me but it makes total sense to me. if really think about it you will get it as well. i belive its a well thought out way of saying challenge what you believe. let me know if it makes sense to you?
DAY 19: My habit continued, but without the exercise. While I felt bad about that, my performance over the prior 18 days left me feeling good! The power of Habit! Planning on big finish in Day 20-21!

When this series started what I wrote down on the paper was I wanted to stress less and not worry so much. I worry about my job and I even lose sleep over it. Every day I start my day with reading scripture always have. Last night in church I thought you didn’t develop a new habit. Then God showed me yes you have you have been spending more time with me. I read some Great Christian Books during this series that helped me with stress and worry the result is I am better not perfect but I will continue with this new habit. Thank you for this series Pastor Buddy.

Pastor Buddy, God bless you and Northway Church.You and Debbie and Pastor Chad prayed over me and I wanted to give you a praise report, and let you know what a profound impact the 21 day Challenge made in my life. A few weeks ago I went to the Dr’s to get glasses because I was losing my vision. The Dr. there said there was something more serious going on and needed to see a specialist. They made the appointment for two days later. I went and after hours of testing they said I had Maculate Degeneration and was going blind. Then they made anoher appointment at The Lions Eye Inst. for conformation. That appointment was three days later. After hours of more painful testing it was confirmed and was told there was no cure. Then they told me there was a treatment they could try. you could lose sight completly, have a heart attact,or stroke. The treatment was to put a needle in my retina filled with a drug used for Cancer. So they made the arangements as I stood there speachless with tears falling down. At best the treatment could only stop the bleeding behind my eye and slow down the progression.. As my sister drove me home, I told her there was no way I could do it. The flames of fear engulfed me and I felt like I was in hell just waiting to lose the rest of my sight. Your series gave me hope and challenged my faith to get out of the boat and walk on the water. I felt like God was telling me to do what I had to do and He would do what He was going to do. Prayers where answerd for wisdom, strength, and courage. Then the peace of God which passes all understanding filled me. In the meantime I continued to get in the word, pray for you and Debbie, your staff, our church in Malta….Well yesterday I had to get my eye checked after the treatment. Three more hours of testing, and to their amazement, the bleeding not only stopped, but my sight improved and the size of the disease was 1/3 smaller than it was.It was not supposed to do that. They had never seen this happen before. Glory to God. They wanted to give me the print out but all the printers were down. When I get my next treatment I’ll get them. I want to show everyone. I believe there is a full recovery in my future. I will speak it, say it, spray it, and give God the Glory for it. Thank you so much for what you’re doing. I am so humbled and joyful at the same time. When I prayed for healing I told God if He chose to heal me, I would shout it from the rooftop. I just want to encourage anyone going through the fire that God is with us,loves us, and you say it so much better than I. I promise my updates will be shorter. See you in the house
