We haven't decided on where we will be next season (I know many have asked), but I decided to annually continue in my fasting period until we do sign. Last year I fasted for 77 days & the Holy Spirit revealed many things to me. The most important things I learned were about my faith & my family/marriage. You can archive back in the blog for all I learned.
This year I am focusing on Him & excited for what He is going to show me this period. He has already shown favor & blessing this past week on an issue we were having with our new home--praise God the issue was covered by our insurance & He totally showed up & out in that impossible (and frustrating) situation. My daily devotionals this week were about carving time out for Him, being in His presence & I firmly believe that was no coincidence. In ONE week I have felt Him shower blessing on blessing & although that's not the ultimate goal in a fast, it's a beautiful reminder that I am doing His will.
The beautiful thing about my fast this time around is that I am not alone! I have 3 beautiful fellow basketball wives that are joining in with me & wow! What a blessing. God has already revealed several things to all of us that further confirm this is the time for all of us to be in Him...intentionally.
That's the great thing about fasting. It's intentional. You are making an effort to place yourself at the feet of the Cross & say "Here I am Lord, reveal yourself to me, mold me, break me, use me...I am yours."
This is my prayer & desire during this time.
This is what I am fasting from:
No Starbucks
No soda
No bread
No alcohol
No fast food
-6am is my prayer & devotional time
-12pm is my meditation time
-Bedtime is my time to pray with my husband
Fasting for me has revealed so much & has made me really feel connected to sacrifice for Him. Giving all I can to Him. Saying "these are earthly things that take my time, convenience, finances & mind. I want to show you that you matter the most. I don't need these things, I need you."
God bless
