Not to live my life in 40 day increments, but because I want to continue processing with the Lord, this 40 days is only leading into the next. And as my friend Bryan says, this 40 days will lead to the next 40, then to the next 40, and so on.
This blog has been a wonderful way for me to process the Lord's call in me. For that reason, I am going to continue posting. The purpose of the fast has been to prepare me, to help me grow, but I understand that this work is never done. It's simpling moving on to the next 40 days.
For those of you who have written me about the end of the fast, thanks. For those of you who have enjoyed and been challenged by my thoughts, keep journeying with me. Tomorrow starts as a new day one, a new morning to come closer to my Lord Jesus Christ.

Tonight, We Will Be...
Disappointed together. I can't get this song by The Myriad out of my head as we head to the last day of this fast. It's amazing that You've led me this far through something I thought would be so difficult. The honest truth is that I don't want it to end. I don't want to go back to normal. How can I prevent that?
This morning though, as I sift through my brain and try to see what You're saying to me on this big, dramatic last day, I feel confused. I know that I/we have made significant progress in our relationship, Lord, and yet there is this sense in me that there is so much more to do. I guess that gives me hope.
Yea, it does give me hope. Which would be a great thought to end this fast on. I have seen You work in my life over the past month and a half and that gives me hope. Hope and confidence.
I know that the only way to self-control is Your control. That sounds cliche, but it is truth. I hope in the fact that as I learn to leave things to You, You will do a much better job at keeping control. God, You came to Moses and simply stated to him, "I Am." You are control. You are hope.
As I meander through this final day, "You Be" in my life. That is the only way that I can avoid being disappointed tonight as we break bread together. Let me come to the body and the blood tonight singing "You are."
