21 Day Fast, 1-4

Posted on April 9, 2009 | Filed Under West Rome, What I'm learning 

Wow, this is amazing. God has really shown me some cool things over the past 4 days. If you don’t know, West Rome is undergoing a 21 Day Fast that started on Monday, April 6th. That makes this day 4. God is showing up in people’s lives like crazy. He is really walking through my life making sure all the wells are cleaned out so that I can experience the living water that is God! It’s not always pretty, but it leads to a wonderful end. We know that, if we go through the tuff clean out stage, the end result will be more of God in our lives. That makes the whole thing worth every minute.

One thing you learn when fasting is just how little control you have over food in your everyday life. For me, these first few days have not been so much about the hunger, which is there by the way, but it’s been about the habit. Since I’m not eating anything at all like I normally do, the habits are showing up pretty regularly. I notice at certain times of the day I would just get up and begin looking for something to eat. I stop at the Sonic about every morning on the way to work to get a 44oz Diet Coke and then head to work. I’m usually planning lunch with Mick, Wes, and whoever is in, by 9:00am. (You never want to be too late) Then, that 10:00pm hour when you’re watching tv and eating everything you can find. That’s a tough one. So, I’m really learning what it means to control my body and take control away form “King Stomach”. I pray that God really changes me and my habits through this time.

I really believe I, my family, and our church will all be changed as a result of this 21 days. If you’re interested, go to www.westrome.org and jump in. We’d love to have you on board.

Remember, God will come through. Just trust Him for your strength and energy to make it. He will not let you down.

Peace,
