Awakening

Today is the first day of a multi-church-wide fast.  Our church is taking part in it, as well as many other friends' churches.  People have chosen different kinds of fasts...Daniel fast, fasting Facebook, sweets/chocolate, or a full-on, no food fast.  The goal of it all is to seek God and hear His heart.  Fasting is not easy.  It reminds me how much I really do live by my flesh.  I'm not sure what all is going to happen over the next 20 days.  I am, however, full of anticipation and excitement over it! 

If you want to know more about it, you can go to this website.  There are a lot of resources listed on the page.  Plus this is led by one of our favorite pastors, Stovall Weems.

I have heard of the Daniel Fast. I always give up pop and chocolate during Lent but I think the fast would be hard. Good luck!

And I haven't heard of the Daniel Fast.
This sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

I HATE DONUTS.

And yes, I mean both kinds.
