Fast Times at Let the Son Shine 01/08/2010
***edited to include some reasoning...I felt it seemed vague and a tad more opinionated than I actually am on such things*** I thought I'd let you all in on how I'm fasting starting Sunday! 21 days without: Indulging in various foods and beverages that are about satisfying urges and not actual need of fuel...taking time to prepare and spending time enjoying such luxuries is keeping me from tasting and seeing that the Lord is my food! Food really consumes a day... Splurging in my spending...as a way to become a better steward of my blessings and appreciation for my husband's efforts to provide and God's faithfulness to do so. Wearing make-up and using skin care products to feel pretty...simply to remind myself that my beauty is in Christ. Activity that takes away from truly being active in my faith and my life...nothing too specific here, just over indulging in activities that aren't furthering the gospel blatantly or subtly. Basically, if it is indulgent, I'm not doing it. For 21 days. Wow, God is going to have a field day with all the free time, thought, and room this makes for Him to shine! Please pray with me over this time! Thanks so much! CommentsFri, 08 Jan 2010 1:20:53 pm Prayers are with you for incredible encounters with His love and grace!
