Fasting Thoughts

• Since Jan 10, NO SUGAR.  I have surprised myself....!

• Fasting is denying yourself, breaking cravings, whatever they may be.  The thing that makes it a 'sacrifice to God' is prayer and worship.  You dont draw close to God fasting alone!

• By the way, I am convinced no sugar (sweets, etc...) wont cause you to lose weight alone.  Someone said a few months ago the sure way to lose weight:  LESS TOTAL CALORIES, regardless the kind of calorie.
• The 2010 Fasting Retreat was fantastic, as always, very needed.  Our schedule goes like this from Mon to Wednesday:  3 sessions a day, 9, 3, 7 for about 2 hours each time, worship, mixed with prayer, hot seat for each person there over the 3 days. 
•  
• A TOTAL fast (just water) is way easier than juice fasting, etc...imo at least.  Your digestive system doesnt kick in gear as much.
• GREAT meeting new friends from GA!  We made the sacrifice to go over to you guys this year so next year, we meet in the middle....right??? I want to see the signature on the dotted line...! :)
• Sunday, 5:30....."Oh when the Saints....come marching in.....Oh when the Saints go marching in......O Dear Lord, to be in that number......when the Saints go marching in....!!!!"
• This Sunday we finish the "School of Faith" series.  The is the icing on the cake, the cherry on top!  DO NOT MISS IT!!!!!!!!
• This song by Steve Fee was our 'theme song' for this fasting retreat.  We will be doing it this Sunday at Harvest.  Take a few minutes, close your eyes, let it soak in....
