fed | daniel fast week 2.

We're now on day 15 of the Daniel Fast, and into our third and final week. Last week marked a turning point for me in this process. Nothing major, nothing dramatic, just the beginnings of a real and raw change in my heart. I committed to pouring into God's Word every morning before work last week, and I did. And the days were lighter, and my mind was stronger and God was with me. He truly provided the nourishment the I needed, as He always does. I'm learning that His nourishment is always there and His Word is always relevant, but He gives me the choice to glorify Him with my days, with my actions, with my thoughts, and with my heart. He is faithful.

And yet I know that I have so far to go. That God wants to take the ounce of faith that I have now and turn it into tons and tons of faith. And He will do exactly as He desires to accomplish His work in me, that I might be an ambassador for Him alone. 

There is much uncertainty in the future for Landon and I, but my prayer is that I would be open, willing, and ready to follow God's call for us, carrying with me what little faith I have, and trusting in God to provide the rest. I've been repeating a little phrase to myself as a reminder of this: My hands are open, my heart is willing, and my feet are ready. My hands are open, my heart is willing, and my feet are ready. Open, willing, and ready.

As we walk through these last six days of the fast, would you pray for us? Would you ask that we would be open, willing and ready to do God's work, and to let Him do a work in us?
