Day sixteen...
Today's prayer focus:
New Buildings and Lands Leviticus 20:24; Deut 6:10-11; Joshua 1:10-11
Day two of seven in our fast. Is there anything I can agree with you in prayer for? How are you doing in your fast?
See you at a Regional Reach Team in your area, tonight!

Wow! Thanks for asking!! I am feeling really good, although I am finding that I have much more of a craving for sweets than usual! :) (Any unusual recipes for lentils?? I am getting a little bored...)
I am seeing some positive changes in my family and experiencing growth, personally, in some unexpected areas. What I would ask for agreement in is that I would once and for all, without any more doubt, BELIEVE who God says I am and not define myself by my past mistakes, (including the ones 5 minutes ago!) or compare myself anymore. I want to really, really receive His identity for me! To walk in His grace and Divine Plan for me! How is your fast going?? ;)
Amen, Heather! I am in agreement with you. I struggle with not feeling condemnation because of mistakes. Just this afternoon, I realized I set an appointment (2 weeks ago) but neglected to let the person know the final date. Wow! I feel awful! I thought I had communicated it. I am finding this fast is digging up selfishness, pride, fears of inadequacy.
I have to remind myself, that these things come to light so God can remove the dross. What's left is less of the selfish me and more of the Godly me.
Are you on a Daniel (vegie) fast? I will look for lentil recipes. My good ones are packed (which I haven't found yet). You know, I just throw a bunch of stuff together and call it "bean stuff!"
Thanks for posting! I LOVE to hear I am not the only one digging up dross.
Here are a couple of websites with lentil recipes:

Does anyone else have some good recipes?
It never ceases to amaze me just how much dross is there. :) He is sooo patient, isn't He?!?! Thanks for the encouragement and recipes - I will check those out right now!! Blessings!!
