Fasting

Tomorrow marks the beginning of our week long church fast. I'm going to be fasting on only water and tea, this includes honey and lemon juice. Also at the end of the day I may have a glass of juice, if I feel I'm going to die.
There are a number of things going into this fast that I'm nervous about. We will be having prayer meetings every night and I will be surrounded by others who are fasting all week long, the parts I'm nervous about are work, especially saturday when I will be unable to go to the prayer meeting due to working. Help me Jesus. There is something about those prayer meetings that gives me the same energy as I would expect from a steak or a cup of coffee. I guess it's just the supernatural grace of God, as we worship Him and pray we mount up on wings as eagles.
It will be interesting to see how well I can take care of an energetic little boy, and how well I can think when dealing with confusing insurance stuff, or crazy number crunching. Still this is the Lords fast, and I think He knows how much I can handle, He will grace me with the ability to do it.
So even though I'm afraid I'm going to die, I will trust Him, that this is good.
Really I'm excited for this fast, I've been needing to get away from the computer, away from the TV and Movies, and really get right and close to God again.
These are my personal goals for this fast:
An increase in my intimacy with Him
Clear direction in my life
Deeper levels of trust and growth
A stronger prayer life
My family; healing and reconciliation, and deeper relationships with the Lord.
Also that I would learn to overflow with God's love unto others.

For now, that's it. I'll see you in a week. Pray for me that I am not weak but strong and don't give up on the fast that the Lord has given me this year.
