(First of all, I want to catch up any readers who are behind. I am posting everyday during the last 21 days of our 40 day fast. The Lord has intensified the fast for me, so for my own sake at least I am just sort of documenting what is transpiring.)
Today was better than the last two days. I think that the Lord poured out more grace upon me today. But, I found an analogy for what I feel. I constantly feel like I just finished running 5 miles in the heat and my endorphins have not kicked in... so I never get that "gee I really love to run" sort of feeling. I pretty much feel the "why am I torturing myself" sort of feeling.
The boys came back from the Signs and Wonders camp today. Surprisingly, Garrett had a good time. He said that he even prayed, raised his arms, and sang along in worship. (this is really, really rare) Raven wants to be a helper at next years Signs and Wonders camps. They each made friends too.
Illogically, I have an intense desire to cook during this fast... even though it seems like pure torture. So, Sunday we have invited some young, single friends over for a meatless, sweetless lunch. Salad, baked potatoes, deviled eggs... I have begun dreaming about these! Last night I couldn't fall asleep because I kept thinking of them!
So, until tomorrow.... love, pray, serve, sleep and repeat.
