Exodus 23 & 24; Psalm 14; Acts 5

So the last 3 days of this fast are liquid only. Did a day or two in the midst but 3 in a row, I wonder how we'll do? This whole experience has been intersting and very cool...not sure how else to explain it. Praying with my husband has been the most amazing thing, realizing that there is this closeness for us that we're not sure how it happened. THANKING God that it did but not entirely sure how it happened, course if we knew we'd probably ruin it somehow and this way....this way we're just awed and grateful.

I can feel this being another soft and weepy day. I know yesterday no matter how soft Imight have thought I was.... in the looking back I see missing opportunities.....opportunities to be Your hands and feet...so today to not beat myself up over those missed but prayerfully not miss any more.......at least that's my hope today....more to just be awed and grateful for I guess when it happens.....
Exodus 23: 8 Moses took the rest of the blood and threw it out over the people, saying, "This is the blood of the covenant which God has made with you out of all these words I have spoken." And then Jesus blood made the new covenant...heard the words and only now made the connection......
And then today's psalm......to live as a God expectant woman, pointing everyone I meet to this Amazing God . Maybe it's not in the pointing? Annoyingly directing them.....why do I think that's annoying?? I don't know.......I don't know anything...and I hear the BS in my head. I DO KNOW....I just don't know how to express it.
And then in Acts it's all about standing up for Him and trusting His protection in the standing....or at least that's what I'm hearing this morning.....

Becky,

I haven't been to your blog in a while and didn't know you were on this fast.

Fasting is amazing, isn't it? I really helps tune your mind to spiritual things.

I'm glad that you are enjoying praying with your husband. spouses praying together is vitally important.

enjoy the last few days of the fast - and don't be content with letting things slide again when it's over!

PS I enjoy the way you write!
