Just started a Bible study with the college girls from our class at church...gave them three book options, and they chose "7". When I told my hubby, he said he wanted to do the food "fast" with me this time, too. So, now I have 18 other people standing with me as we go through a week-long food "fast". Due to the school schedule (so that we will finish by exam time), they decided to try week-long "fasts" for each chapter, and then if they decide that want to continue for a full month, the "fasts" will overlap. We will see how it works out. We met last night to go through what we had learned from reading the first chapter, and discuss how the "fast" was going to look for each individual. I am very excited to see how God is going to work in each of our lives. Already this morning, I heard from one of the girls, and she wondered if we could do a service project to go along with each week. Blessed by her heart.
The only drawback to our meeting last night was my overanalysis when I arrived home. I don't want to talk too much about my personal experience, and I am afraid I did that. Even though I think it is natural for humans to filter everything through our own perspective, I just want to listen and learn from what I see Him doing in the girls' lives. I want to draw closer to Him and listen for his voice as I focus less on myself.
I am still working on my "poisons" for my month #2. Finding that the procrastination one is probably the hardest for me at this stage in my life. Each day, I just come before Him and ask for motivation, for conviction, and then for forgiveness when I fail. I am being challenged for sure...
