Since it is the New Year I thought it would be appropriate to start my blog as well as a lot of other important things in my life. To begin with, my church challenged everyone to a 12 day fast and 12 min of bible reading a day. This was supposed to start on the first day of this year but I'm a little behind.
I really wanted to participate in this church wide fast but I completely forgot about it until about Jan. 3. So, I got in my mind that it was too late and I just gave up the idea. As the past week has continued and I see God working in my church through this I have felt like I should be fasting and drawing close to God too but I kept saying it was too late. However, today after a long day and a lot more prayer than usual I realized that it's NEVER TOO LATE TO HUMBLE MYSELF BEFORE GOD!!! So starting today I will be fasting for 12 days, even if much of it will be alone. Afterall, when Jesus went into the wilderness he didn't have a hundred other people fasting with him. I'm of glad I'm a little late to get going. It's given me time to think and pray and it's good to know that I'm not doing this as a show or some competitive challenge but purely to humble myself before God and allow him to feed the part of me that I often starve.
Over the next 12 days my goal is to make one blog everyday to update you on how my fast is going even if the blog is simply a prayer or a scripture. I pray and hope you will pray too that God will use me to encourage many and guide me towards his wants and desires for me.
Have a Wonderful day everyone and don't forget to check out my facebook for current fundraisers such as my valentines gift arrangements I have available right now!!
