Waypoint, my home church, is starting Monday the 19th to Wednesday the 21st, asking us to fast and pray and ask the Lord what He has for us, individually and corporately for 2009. (some of you may notice, the 21st IS the season premiere for LOST, but hey, I am sacrificing! He's worth it!) I will be fasting tv, facebook, and meat. Quite the array, right?!
I am really looking forward to this. I haven't been disciplined in this. It shouldn't take a church as a whole to get me to do this. I have always talked about doing it, but hey, we all fail. He knows our hearts! I want to hear from the Lord and I know I will, He is always faithful. But, it may not be in the three days that I am fasting/praying. 2008 was a rough year for Dan and I. Spiritually and financially. It's terrible when you are struggling financially, how much more you need to trust, but how much more difficult it is. Hmph! I am trusting the Lord for a fresh and a new. I know He has something for us this year, I just don't know what. He knows and he will reveal it, in his time. Which is always perfect.
The Lord your God is with you, he is mighty to save! He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing! Zephaniah 3:17

Erin, I salute you! I sooooo respect the fasting discipline. I am, so far, a miserable failure in it...lead on, girlfriend. I hope to follow in your footsteps. As you give yourself away to our Lord in this new way, may you see over and over that you cannot 'out-give' Him! May the Lord bless you with grace and power as He is strong in your weakness!!
