Sharing God!

I am 5 days in now! My mom and I were talking the other day about fasting. I was sharing with her that I really felt like I needed to do this, but I didn't really know how to go about it. She said that she needed to as well, but for her fasting from food isn't an option.(For all who know my mom she NEEDS to eat every moment of the day) I didn't feel like this was something I could do either. Fasting means giving up something and in return you take that time and spend it with God. Giving up meals with my family is something I am just not capable of doing. I have 2 small children and to say okay your on your own isn't going to happen. Mom had received this email from Gregory Dickow Ministries. He is a pastor out of Chicago, Ill. He has started a 40 day fast of wrong thoughts! I thought yes this is it! I can totally do this!

So I felt like I should share the website. Its www.thinkingfast.org. You can login and print off daily devotionals and the daily thought that we need to kick out the door! Its been incredible!

Today, was about I am so worried! Let me tell you at this point I have battled everyday with this. I have been so worried that our house isn't going to sale. I struggle everyday with this. Today, God has shown me that I don't have to worry! That it does absolutely nothing for me. It just brings me down and therefore affects my daily life. It affects my relationship with my husband, my kids, extended family, and friends. Most importantly, it affects my relationship with Him! WOW! When I sit and dwell on all of the negative, I push myself away from the goodness of God. God is so awesome, that he provides the dew for the lilies of the field how much more does he care for me? Now when a worry comes up, I am going to be God this is for you. You are my Abba father, you love me and you care for me. You care for the lilies, the birds and all of your creation you will care for me! I am the crown of His creation!

So I encourage you to take part! I really do believe your life can be changed! I know 5 days in mine already has!
