Last month I was fasting for 3 weeks without breakfast and lunch. And still didn't understand fasting.

I have found great joy in quiet, solitude, listening, prayer, service, study, worship... but food fasting makes me miserable, distracted, & grumpy! I celebrate His grace that encourages me to experience my relationship with Him as the individual expression of His Life that He has created me to be. Your writings (You REALLY write often) are always encouraging, full of energy, and pointing the way to a deeper experience of HIS LIFE. Thank you for your willingness to live out loud!<3Debbie Rectornoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34075051.post-11070936167266142862009-10-14T08:10:51.008-06:002009-10-14T08:10:51.008-06:00I'm liking this, Ralph. “God, I want to be sat...I'm liking this, Ralph. “God, I want to be satisfied by you."

It's so true, how easy it is to start thinking that reading the Word or praying or whatever else are things to be checked off, duties to be performed. We forget we need Him, we get distracted from what we really need and turn to what is easier or that comforts our flesh. We haven't done a lot of fasting probably because we've been made to feel like it in itself is a chore instead of something we might need, no distraction. <br /><br />we love reading your thoughts, humble conviction shared from your heart. thank you, ralph...Daniel-Heather Cosbynoreply@blogger.com
