Day 40 of 40

A day of reflection. As today is the last day of the fast I took some time to think about what God has done in our lives. He has been faithful in loving our family! I honestly can not believe it is coming to a close. JM is going to have communion for us tonight and pray as we finish up the fast. And I am looking forward to sharing with friends how faithful our God is. It seemed impossible on day 1 and Day 10 I wanted to give up...I just was not sure it would be worth it. I was wrong. It was hard and trying but it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I love how God speaks to me. It is almost like I can see his face. Smiling at me with the most amazing grin. Sometimes it looks like a tug of war because of where I am standing and whether or not I am willing. But here is what I am looking towards and holding close to my heart, my passion, vision and mission. My passion is to love God with all my mind, heart and soul. My vision is to be a giver and help people. And my mission is to build community in the love of Christ that they may see his hand upon them.

Here is the biggest thing I remember from the last 40 days:
that God gave far beyond what I could have imagined. (he answered that prayer -- it was huge). He did it without me specifically asking for it and He loved us. It is over whelming. I am not sure how to rejoice over it. I am sure God and I will have some amazing moment still ahead and he will reveal even more to us that I have not yet even thought could happen. What I am sure of is that my God is real, he is here and he does provide. That kind of love is undescribable!

"Lord may you be with me as I continue to walk in your will. Give me the strength to continue to seek you as I have for the last 40 days and may you speak to our whole family in a profound way that touches our hearts. Thank you for providing may you continue to answer prayers as we trust you to provide in huge ways." Amen, Amen and Amen!"


At 11:05pm we took communion, Lord thank you for a wonderful husband and family.
