Daniel Fast …Day One
I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have accepted the challenge to join us in our church wide fast. I will use this BLOG each day for the next 2 weeks to talk about what we are doing, what we can be learning and the stories I am hearing from those who have committed to the fast.
Have you been to our website that has been designed to help you in your fast. Click Here to visit the site. It has all the helpful information you will need as well as other sites that will encourage you.
Sunday I spoke about Endurance. I am praying for you today as you go through the first full day! I pray you use wisdom in planning for your lunch at work…..as that may be the hardest meal to prep for and enjoy. I pray for you as you have this fast on your mind all day long. Let me encourage you to pray for God to speak to you, to show you what He wants you to learn and also to use you to be a part of what he is doing in our church over the next weeks and months. Do this each time the fast comes to your mind. Each time you want to drink that coffee or coke……whisper a prayer. God will use the daily focus on Him and His will to speak to you.
Also, as you read this BLOG think of your friends at Team Church and pray for them to Endure. Also, since I have not used the BLOG since June…….forward the link to as many people as you can to remind them that it is up again and will be a constant source of encouragement, inspiration and just plain old information they can use to stay in-tune with Team Church.
Use your 14 day devotional……it is designed to help you connect with God in a special way over the next 14 days.
Also, remember that we have arranged for all Team Church people to get a free membership at the Lifestyle Family Fitness center in Matthews. Stop anytime in August for free training, health questions and the like. When you enter the fitness center….look for the Team Church table then sign up and get busy!
If you have not signed up for our Cookout to break our fast……do so on line now!
Happy eating today…….I think I will go crunch on an apple!
