As you have been or might be wondering why I have not posted blogs in a while I have been fasting over a month now from the internet and movies. Honestly, I have fasted before with food and a few other things, but never understood the true meaning, the true physical meaning of fasting besides control. I have been getting up early in the mornings starting in Guatemala and Nicaragua. As you might know that these last two months are the months where you feel dry, tired and hopeless, or something on those lines…..But God has me on a different journey of intimacy with Him right now. I seriously could sit there and day dream of what it’s like to be in His presence and touching His face and imagining Him just gleaming at me face to face.
Let me give you a visual of the last two months of the race. 98% diet repellent before going to bed which is anywhere between 8 and on (I know I have grown a bit older since I left on the race) Then waking up around 12 AM and on until whenever you get back to sleep sometimes 3, then get up at 6:00-6:30 AM put some bug repellent on again and add some tiger balm to stop the itching (which by the way thank you Liz for giving this to me its been great). So I have spending my mornings in Guatemala on the roof with this awesome view of the lake and mountains and at the 24 hour prayer house in Nicaragua worshipping and praising every morning!!! Hearing the beautiful whispers of our Father early in the morning is breathtaking really! SERIOUSLY!!!!!! What could bet better than that? NOTHING!!!! Yes, it’s been a sacrifice but such a good one…. This fast was supposed to last for a month and God started tugging on my heart to continue the fast until debrief. I asked God to confirm this and He did through a dream I love that He is so faithful to us all the time!
I don’t even know where to begin how God has helped me or taught me to worship Him in freedom the last few months but He has and I completely feel like I’m floating on clouds every time I am in His presence. Feeling Every morning I weep, I cry, I sing, I dance and sometimes I scream praising our Father, our Holy One, our Creator, our Lover, our Hero, our One and only beautiful one!!!!!! Smelling the beautiful aroma of Him…..ahhhhh I just love it!!! I just love Him! I just want all of you to know that this fast has been used to intercede for you and the Nations.
My outlook on fasting has changed and this will be more of apart of me and my relationship with Him throughout the years of my life!
