Last day of the fast

I survived!

Seven days of liquid fasting - okay, five, because I had one meal fasts yesterday and Sunday - and I’ve seen breakthroughs on several levels, God talking to Cathy and me about a variety of things. It’s awesome.

One of the things on my prayer list is for courage in testifying of God’s goodness to people I otherwise would not share with, owing primarily to a huge fear of rejection or misrepresentation of Jesus’ goodness. (Some people judge my perfect God by looking at imperfect me, which is wrong, because just because I’m not the best thing that happened to you doesn’t mean God can’t be the best thing that’ll ever happen to you.)

Well, last week, in the middle of the fast, I took a leap of faith and sang to some of my officemates a Christian version I wrote of Beyonce’s Irreplaceable. If you’d care to see the video, please click here.

Tonight, the fast ends, although Cathy and I are seriously thinking of extending it because the fast has been good to us spiritually (physically, I’ve dropped about three pounds but that’s mostly water weight, so I don’t think it’s a very good thing).

Have a good week ahead, everyone!
