Journey Day 342

So starting this Thursday my church is doing a corporate Daniel Fast. Having done the fast before, I'm so excited. The church is doing it for 21 days, but I think I'm going to push myself a little further and do it for 40, making my last day July 18th. It's going to be more difficult, but I am choosing to chose God over the little luxuries. I really want to be preparing myself spiritually for the work God will be doing through me in China. I think this time I'll get even more from the fast than the first time I did it. Pastor Paul asked us two questions today. What are the things distracting us from God, and what are the things we need to lay down. I'm going to be prayerfully considering those things the next few days. I want to find the things keep me from getting closer to God, and I want to eradicate them. I want nothing in my life that is keeping me from the lover of my soul.
