Back in Action!
Yes, yes, you are reading this correctly....I am back!
Not only am I back to my blog...but I can say with certain that I will be blogging for 40 days straight starting right now! Why you ask? Well, God has really put it on my heart to complete a 40 day fast--now, this could be a fast from anything...but I've almost always fasted from food--it's really one of those "things" that gets me to submit myself to God and rely more on him than on myself.
So, water and the occasional glass of juice for me...(and then of course there will be communion...which will occur twice during my fast where I will have a small piece of bread).
It's been almost 18 months since I've fasted at all...for any purpose...probably due to the fact that last time I *started* a fast (coincidentally, it was a 40 day fast that lasted about 3/4 of a day), I had kidney stones...boy did those stink! (well, not really...they just hurt a bunch!) So, there's a bit of fear/apprehension (it's like when you eat something and get really sick and you avoid that food/dish/restaurant for awhile cause you don't want to be sick again)...but I really feel like God is going to let stuff break loose during this fast and that He will re-kindle my lost passions.
So, I "officially" start in ... 1 hour 18 minutes...but I'm going to bed, so I'm starting now :)
Days Remaining: 40
Mood: Pretty Good
Pray Request: Faithfulness to what God has called for me in this season
(ps: comments are once again open to the public....so if anyone wants to say something....or leave me encouraging words....go for it!)
