day...what is it?

I'm not really counting days because I don't really think that's helpful to me, and I don't want to be so focused on the end of the fast that I miss what God has for me in the midst of it. It has been very interesting for me to experience the body and spirit interaction that the fast has allowed to happen. My spirit has become more and more hungry for the things of God, as my body has had less and less cravings for food. We went out to dinner with some good friends who have become like surrogate G'parents to our kids. We went to a fancy Italian restaurant and they were very concerned about me and felt bad eating in front of me. I was amazed out how undifficult (?) it was. It's like God has realeased my body from craving food. So I want to encourage all you fasters out there, feast on God!! if you haven't had solid time with God, make it happen. if you spend 15 minutes reading your bible, go for 30 minutes! if you have never meditated on his word, or spent more than 30 seconds praying, try to push yourself to see if you don't find yourself getting more and more hungry for God. BTW, if you aren't receiving the fasting email devotions that Pastor Jaime has put together....you are missing something huge!! They are amazing!! She has done such a great job of tailoring them for us. If you want to get on board then email her at J.howard@genesis-church.com and she'll hook you up!! Praying for you my friends: that God continues to change our hearts to be more like the heart of Jesus.
