My Two Cents

As most know, I'm in a time of transition in my life.  My divorce will be final in just a few days. 
I've just come through the worst ten months of my life and I am weary.  Body, mind and soul, I am weary.  

And I'm realizing some things about myself that MUST change.  And I've discovered myself to be madly in love with Jesus.  I want more of Jesus.  I want more of the face of God.  I want to know Him well.  I want to stop repeating the same mistakes.  I want to be found faithful to God.  I want an undivided heart and to live a life of undistracted devotion to Him.

I was thinking to those ends while I was in the bookstore.  I found a study called "Jesus, the One and Only" and decided to get it.  It's a ninety day study.  I asked the Lord, "What else can I do over these ninety days to know You and Jesus more?"  So...God impressed upon me the idea of fasting.  Then I got to thinking about the Daniel fast, and something clicked.  So, the plan is that I (and my comrades) will do the Daniel fast for three weeks.  The second three weeks, I will do a liquid fast for two days each of those three weeks.  Lather, rinse, repeat.  Before you know it, 90 days is up and my life is radically changed.  I hope.

All I really want is to be about My Father's business.  I want to sit at His feet and commune with Him. I  want the things of this earth to be dethroned and for God to take His rightful place in my heart.
