2 - Desperate: Hope for the Mom Who Needs to Breathe
3 - Waking the Dead: The Glory of a Heart Fully Alive
4 - Anything: The Prayer That Unlocked My God and My Soul

8 - A Heart Like His: Intimate Reflections on the Life of David
If you are also reading 52 books in 52 weeks let me know so I can keep up with what you are reading.
For His Honor,
Paige

40 Day Fast
Well I know that it's been 7 months since my last post. Life has been a wonderful roller coaster with God this year and I'm ready to take on 2014. To start out the year I will be doing a 40 day fast with my church (I can't tell you how much I LOVE my church!). Here is what I will be fasting for the next 40 days.
What is Fasting? To fast simply means to voluntarily abstain from eating and/or drinking, certain foods, and/or certain activities/items for an extended period of time.
Biblical fasting is a discipline of voluntarily denying one's self in order to be available for prayer and communion with the Lord. Since it is an ultimate act of self-denial, you are simply entering into an intense training in righteousness.
As a church will be giving up the following for the next 40 days:
Consider joining me? I will be sharing a daily devotional that has a Scripture reading, prayer focus, and Scripture meditation. I will also share what I feel like the Lord is saying to me, teaching me, and healing me of during this time.
- Days 1-10 (January 6-15) No secular media, no meats & sweets
- Days 11-20 (January 16-25) No secular media, 1 meal a day
- Days 21-30 (January 26- February 4) No secular media, no meats & sweets
