Day 3: Fasting

As the days go by it gets easier, but don't you find that the enemy is always lurking trying to tempt you at every corner?

My trip to the grocery store today and they are having their meat special, 20% off all of the meat you can stuff into a bag. It figures, right when I'm fasting, meat would go on sale! I bought some anyway and stuck it in the freezer for later.

Blogging is fun, but sometimes I think it's just me talking to myself and no one is listening. It's just the enemies way of trying to discourage what I do. I know that there are people all over the world that could be reading this and with all of the prayer requests we've received recently, there are "seekers" out there looking for something real and it's a relationship with the living God. So my fast continues and as I draw closer to God I know that somehow my words may uplift someone at just the right time. I'm cleansing myself of all the junk I've filled it with this past year and I'm feeling better and encouraged that I'll make it through...only 18 days to go!

One song that's been on my mind all day is Mercy Me's "Bring the Rain" . The chorus is: Bring me joy, bring me peace bring the chance to be free bring me anything that brings You glory And I know there'll be days when this life brings me pain but if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain. It's profound and really encourages me through this fast.

So if I had to leave a final thought, it's to press on and continue to fast even though it may be difficult to stay on track, it's this time that we'll draw closer to Him. And the best part is that God forgives us even when we get off track! Be blessed and continue to praise Him for the little things! :o)
