21 Day Fast – Day 18

Posted on April 23, 2009 | Filed Under West Rome, What I'm learning 

Well, we’re nearing the end of our 21 Day Fast. However, I believe God still has some things He wants to do. I am really looking forward to seeing what He has going for the next four days. I am fired up for all of the people in our church that have taken part in the fast and have persevered through the tough stuff to get where they are today. I just know that God is going to bless our efforts and He is going to show off in our lives. I also know, for many of you, that you might not have been as “successful” with your fast as you had hoped. You need to know that fasting is not about perfection and God is honoring every minute that you spend trying to honor Him through this time. Allow God to remove those mistakes and ask Him to help you finish strong. I know He will come through for you.
For myself, this has been an amazing ride. God has spent time walking through my life pulling out some junk that didn’t need to be there anymore. Then He took a while to show me who I am in Him. I think He knows that, when you have to deal with all the junk, you need a reminder of who you are. He’s good like that. Anyway, He’s also shown me great things about what a blessing my family is and how to lead them to be even more like Him. Taylor and Jordan have joined Tiffany and me during the fast. They have done a super job and are learning about what God did in Daniel’s life and how He can do great things in theirs. I’ve also learned a lot about our church. Things about what He has planned and where we’re headed for the future. I’m looking forward to the future as He clarifies all of His plans and shows us the specifics of how it all works. This is going to be amazing.
One thing that is just so cool is how clear God’s Word becomes when you’re fasting. When you really do get rid of all the stuff that gets in your way and just listen to Him. Know wonder He tells us to “be still, and know that He is God.” There just might be something to that after all, huh!
God is so awesome!! He’s already done great things with more to come. Keep going strong and we’ll celebrate together this Sunday. I would recommend, if it’s at all possible, be here this week. You don’t want to miss it.
