Fasting isn't so easy...
So, yesterday I was browsing the DAB forums (Daily Audio Bible). And I was reading what everyone had to say about 7/7/07, and about revival and fasting. So I thought about it and prayed about it. Today I decided to fast. So I'm now on a liquid fast. No solid foods, just liquids. Milk, juice, and water mostly. I have to say, it is a lot harder than I thought. Controlling the desire to eat food is not an easy thing to do. Since our bodies need food, and we naturally crave it, I'm finding it hard not to say...I'll just go ahead and eat. But the point is, fasting has given me more time. The time I would have spent eating, I've been spending it on praying, and reading the bible. That's a pretty cool thing...spending those extra moments with God. I'm really excited about tomorrow. Tomorrow the DAB community is going to be having a prayer chat...all day! People from all around the world are going to be praying for revival. I'm really looking forward to what God is going to be doing around the world, in the hearts of so many people. It gives me goose bumbs just thinking about it.
Another big decision I made. I'm going to be giving my testimony. Exactly two weeks from today I'm going to be standing in front of a bunch of people, telling my life story, and how I came to know God. I had a hard time with this at first, but God has really laid it on my heart. He has assured me that giving my testimony is a good thing. Also I discovered that, giving my testimony isn't really about me, so I need to just buck up and do what God tells me. You see, I'm a leader in a ministry called Celebrate Recovery. It's a ministry that helps people who are hurting. People who abuse alcohol and drugs, people who have addictions, people who have been abused and mistreated, and people who have all kinds of hurts. It's so amazing to me that God has chose me to reach out to those hurting people by giving my testimony. I'm so excited, I hope people can benifit a great deal from hearing what God has done in my life. I haven't even written my testimony yet, and I'm this excited. What a joy it's going to be when I actually give my testimony!
