Directions

I have one very man-like trait: I really hate reading directions. I don’t mind listening to them, I love being shown what to do, but if I have to use a manual, I don’t like it. Today I was vacuuming which had become a much-loathed task due to the fact that the machine was consistently … Continue reading Directions

This Week’s Worship: Small Enough by Nichole Nordeman

Oh, Great God, be small enough to hear me now. There were times when I was crying from the dark of Daniel’s den; And I have asked You once or twice if You would part the sea again.

Only One Week Left

Well folks, we’re in the final stretch of the fast and I won’t lie to you, that gallon of sweet tea in the fridge has never looked more desirable. It’s amazing to me how strong just the desire for certain foods is in myself. Plenty of things are easy to decline because they hold no … Continue reading Only One Week Left

More than Halfway Through

I began my fast on January 8th, and am now nearly finished with day 12. A couple of days ago I watched the movie Fireproof with my roommate. I’ve seen it plenty of times before and found many great truths and insights, but this time a new one jumped out at me. In one scene, … Continue reading More than Halfway Through

Fasting Definitions

It is said many times throughout the New Testament that we are to be sanctified. There is also much mention in the Bible and in church tradition about consecration. I personally love words; the more syllables, the better. However, often times believers speak in Christianese, which might as well be gibberish to those unfamiliar … Continue reading Fasting Definitions

Daniel Fast: Day 7

Well folks, I have officially completed my first week (ie: 1/3) of my Daniel Fast. Had some headaches, some cravings, lots of tiredness. At one point I asked my sister to blow in my face because she had just eaten a bag of sour cream and onion chips. She was four, so she obliged (sheepish face). But … Continue reading Daniel Fast: Day 7
