Welcome to Day Six,

I have had some good conversations with folks yesterday and today about their fasts.  Everyone is working through it differently.  I am always glad to get your comments here as well.

This particular fast is more like a marathon than a sprint. Don’t be concerned with how you feel on a specific day or time.  We are wanting  a paradigm shift. We are wanting a completely pure/authentic personality and character.  This will take a while.  In fact, the fast is simply the beginning.  However, if you will be faithful through the fast with prayer, Bible reading, and community, you will find yourself in a good position for 2017.  Also, remember not to compare yourself to others.  This is so tempting.  This is between you and God.  Trust the process, don’t rush it.

I am actually buckling down a little bit on my fast.  Removing some more items from my edible list.  I think that is needed for me at this point.  I’m not sure if I have mentioned it on here, but I have been reading the Bible in Spanish this year.  I typically read 1-3 chapters in Spanish and then a couple chapters in English.  I really want to learn better Spanish for our mission trips.

On Friday our offices are closed so I don’t see many people. It is a day to separate from the pace of life and really rest for the weekend. I don’t review anything for Sunday.  I do have a wedding rehearsal this afternoon, so I will be heading to that soon.  Tomorrow, I will pick the sermon back up and dig deeper into what God has for us.  Can’t wait to see you all on Sunday!

love ya’ll!
