Notes on Fasting from 2014

January 5--

The best of all first fruits of any kind, and every sacrifice of any kind from all your sacrifices, shall be the priest's; also you shall give to the priest the first of your ground meal, to cause a blessing to the rest on your house. --Ezekiel 44:30

Did great today. Napped thru some of the caffeine withdrawal and didn't eat until I actually felt hungry.

The are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.  Sanctify them by your truth.  Your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  --John 17:16-18

I am struggling today.  I have a headache from caffeine withdrawal and am sluggish and hungry.  I thought I had hummus at work but I didn't.  So just my pita chips, apple, cereal and almond milk so far.  I am praying for strength and I know that this is a painful process of detoxifying my body.

Yesterday was much better.  I am trying not to feel too badly about not being able to do it the "right" way.  I am still giving up meats, sweets and breads and that is huge for me.  I've allowed dairy and morning coffee only.  It makes me so appreciative of my savior's sacrifice and the discipline of all those in the Bible that fasted for the Lord.  I feel like God is already showing me some things--on marriage/dating--keep waiting; on the job--start looking; on serving--be ready. 

This morning I overslept and missed 6 a.m. prayer meeting so I am looking all the more forward to 1st Wed services tonight! And hope to make it to church tomorrow morning.

Prayer for my daughters

Oh heavenly Father, I lift up my daughters to you.  I love them so much.  Please take care of them Lord.  Cover them with your blessings and protection.  Let me let go of my desire to confirm them to my will.  show me how to protect them and guide them into wisdom. Let them know they are loved as they are.  Let me love them also as they are.  Let them know they are indeed princesses in a kingdom far greater than any fairy tale, a kingdom with a great king who reigns with justice and mercy.  Make them strong in your Word. Let them be tender and gentle and let your love flow through their lives and hearts.  In Jesus' Holy name,  Amen

Do what you are responsible to do and that will allow God to do what only He can do. God's dream for me is the enemy's nightmare. Numbers 23:24 2 Corinthians Proverbms 6: 6-0 My beauty is revealed in the strength of my funtion. Celebrate each others' strengths and seasons. Who is at risk when we are (???) Know your specific calling and purpose is and cut back on the things that don't add to that.  ---Tammy Hodges. The relationships you choose determine everything. Isaiah 30:15-18 In repentance and rest is your salvation.  You can't outrun your enemies. When you don't rest and you become the savior, you become a slave and you begin to substitute. Psalm 32:7 Selah--stop think musical rest. Repent--redirect. 1--look outward: review     relationship with God?    ask others how you're doing?     how is family life?     Physical, ministry, social life?     how is your work? 2--look inward; revis...
