Addendum to day eighteen

Again I am struck by the amount of problems I have on this fast. I am cold all the time, my digestion system is angry at me and now I am light headed and have almost fallen over a couple of times when I was doing something.

But we had another answer. We got a dryer to replace the one that broke. For that I am grateful.

We still pray for a van or the way to get a van. We need one badly. I don’t know if this one – the church van we are using right now – will last long.

But the Lord hears. I know he does. And as the apostle Paul said in 2 Timothy 1:12, I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day.

I know he hears me and will hear me more.

On the plus side physically, I have lost almost 50 pounds. I guess it was the Atkins diet that we were on before I started.  It had my body carb-starved so it just continued faster. Kind of a surprise, though, since the last long fast I took didn’t lose nearly that much over a whole month.

I intend to use this fast as a response to my overweight condition. I want to look like a good steward of God, not like a fat slob.

Father God, hear me. Bless me. Answer me. Thank you for the dryer. I praise you. Amen.
