Our church Lifesong, has started a new sermon series called "Radical Journey" and we have all been asked to fast for forty days in order to seek God's will and message for our lives. When thinking about what I could fast, I wanted to fast something that took a lot of my time and use that time for God instead, so I chose to fast from all television for those forty days and that began yesterday. When I came home from Haiti, I had already felt God leading me to stop watching certain shows and I have done that, but eliminating all television is something I am willing to do in order to remove all distraction from my life just to hear what he wants to say.
I'm very proud of David as well, as he has never done anything like this and is comitted to fasting from tv also and just spend time with God. I'm no expert in fasting, but I was able to give him some pointers and I am praying for my husband as he seeks God's will for his life and ours.
There is no mistaking that God has been BUSY working and moving in our lives in the past year or so and it has been such a blessing to see it all unfold. I know that he has moved us closer and closer to his side and there's no other place I'd rather be! We are blessed to have been lead back to Lifesong church where God is a constant and you feel his presence everytime you walk through the doors and in the people who are our family there. God is alive and well through the people of Lifesong and we are just thankful to be a part of it and know that we finally belong somewhere!!
As many of us from Lifesong begin our "Radical journey" together, my constant prayer is that we would all seek God's face, hear his word, and act on his will for our lives...let's all just do RADICAL things for Christ because he has done RADICAL things for us and deserves nothing less!!
