Day 11

   Thoughts:  Humility is a discipline and not something that just comes naturally.  Fasting places one truly in the hands of God, dependant upon Him for spiritual nourishment in the absence of physical nourishment.  Journal how this experience has humbled you and made you trust God more.

  In this I am learning that I tend to always get what I want when I want it, food wise.  I never think about what I am choosing to put in me, as long as it's what I am craving at the time I'm happy.  I am also seeing that I don't have to have as much as I think I need portion wise.  When going 4 days not eating & smelling/seeing the foods you normally eat and preparing it for the kids..whew I have to admit at times it is very hard.  I have to keep my mind on the purpose of the fast, which is seeking the Lord & getting closer to Him & growing spiritually.  Seeking Him and His will/direction for the year.  Since last years fast & having so much happen in it and even through out the year, I know from experience that God is working and will honor our fast.  My God doesn't lie & I trust Him with my life.  As I stated in an earlier blog thier have been areas of my life that have been difficult for me to let go of and completely trust God with, but thier is now no doubt in my mind that I have given these areas to Him completely now.  I know he loves me and insted of trying to fix these things that I haven't been able to fix, I know that He will get things done in His timming and they will be done His way.  I wouldn't have it any other way.  He knows best.  I trust Him now more than ever!  My God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory...& he is able to do exceeding abundatly above all I could ever think or ask.  I am believing Him for the maximum, for His measure of capacity not my own.

   Prayer Focus:  Favor

   Places I am experiencing the favor of the Lord & the expansion of my "territory":

   I am experiencing the Lord's favor in being able to stay at home with my kids for the past 10 years.  I do not have to work and be in the world dealing with everything going on out there.  I have truely been blessed.  I have 2 healthy kids and a hard working husband.  We have been through some things, but the Lord has directed us and brought us through.  We have been led a church, where we know with out a doubt we are suppose to be there.  Our family knows the Lord and we all love Him will all our hearts and are learning on a daily basis, now that's what I call favor.  I know that the Lord is leading us into His maximum for us and expanding our territory.  We don't want to limit God in what he is doing for us (O:


   Today was great.  We were a tiny bit late for our church service, but didn't miss to much of the priase and worship.  Today I feel like the Lord want me to be more sensitive to Him and He is telling me that I can do better than what I have been doing.  I have to say I agree & I am trusting Him to help me get my mind and life back.  I am rising up and confronting the barriers that have been standing in my way.

  Lord, I pray that you'll contenue to lead and guide me in all I do.  I want to be the best I can be in all I do for your glory.  I want to come into my destiny and fulfill all you have for me.  I place no limits on my God & am believing for His maximum in my family and life..my cup runneth over.  I thank you Lord for your many blessings in Jesus name, Amen.
