Day 1 of 40 Day Fast

Seems like we've been here before. Just last summer we did a 40 day fast. We are now entering into another one. Fasting isn't much fun. I'm already crabby, hungry, and would love a cup of coffee. There are many reasons to fast. Lou Engle called this fast to end right before The Call in Washington DC. We truly believe that event is essential to the future of our country and the ending of abortion. We had hoped for our entire family to be there but it's looking like none of us will. Even Zach will have to opt out of his intern trip because FMA orientation starts that week and they will not let him miss it. We have a long list of things we need to hear from the Lord on during this time. Direction is a biggie, finances, school for next year, any areas of ministry we should serve in.... I feel no freedom to make decisions in any of these areas until answers are released. The cry of my heart is I no longer want the business of life to lead us around, I want our family to know it's purpose and calling and walk in that direction. John and the kids are going to lead worship once a month at the CEC on Sunday mornings. My heart was tickled to see them all worshiping together.
