My original Lenten fast had to be modified and I'm now managing a fast that is proving to be challenging and rewarding. I've given up breakfast - so liquids only until lunch. The last hour or so before lunch is understandably the biggest challenge. But it's also my daily hour in which I lean in a bit deeper toward Christ. I draw from His strength and I talk to Him a bit more, because I need to. As a result, I'm seeing prayers answered. I asked for God to provide a way for Cam to attend a conference in GA, and God provided. I'm praying for other financial provisions and it appears that God is answering those prayers and I trust that He will continue to do so.
Now, as I pray for Cam and his encounter with God at this conference I feel prompted to take my fasting a step further, on Cam's behalf. I'm giving up the internet until the conference is over. This is pretty significant for me, a pretty huge sacrifice. I'm not even really sure I can do it, but there again, I will be forced to lean into God and spend more time with Him because I won't be able to do it on my own. Cam always kids me about being addicted to the internet. He doesn't even know that I'm giving it up for him ;)
So if you feel so moved, please pray with me that God will speak into Cameron's heart in a way that he never knew was possible. Pray that God will bring Cam healing, mercy, power and grace, in Jesus' name. And that God will all the while, hold Adi and I in His sovereign hands with love and strength, and that our family will be blessed.
Thanks friends.
