God Showed Up!

     This week God really showed up.  I have been begging Him for weeks now to get me at 80% by the end of the month, but I resisted doing what He was asking from me.  My meetings went down drastically, but God was still providing good people for me to talk to.  I got the opportunity to talk to several churches and classes.  (I pray that next month will go better.)  God did not provide the 80% as I asked, but I never did what He was asking until this week. 
     Those who know me know that January every year I do a 40 day fast.  It takes a lot of discipline, but it also is harder for me to commit the rest of the year to smaller fast.  I would not even admit to my prayer partner that I felt that God was wanting me to do a small fast to draw closer to Him in my prayer life.  With my job, I burn a lot of calories, so I used that as an excuse not to follow through and I felt all month that I was lacking something.
     This week I decided to do as God was asking no matter what.  Monday and Tuesday was crazy and I prayed hard to do as God asked.  God allowed a lunch with people that have known me since I was 8.  I was not planning on even talking about Bolivia, but they started asking questions and really came through financially for me.  I went by the local radio station and made a sacrificial offering that really brought so much joy to my heart.  Wednesday, I finally did a small fast from sunrise to late dusk and not just from food, but from media too.  It brought such clarity in how I need to search not only daily, but hourly to God's little gifts.  I know He will show up with my fund for Bolivia.  He will never let us down when we align our hearts to His.  His love is so abounding.
