All the time. Even when He isn’t doing what we think He should be doing!
I love how God just messes up our plans and does things His way. This fast has been a perfect example of that: We pretty much expected it to go like a normal fast. Get past the three day hump, and have a couple rough days here and there, but otherwise just be enjoying a much greater connection to God. It seems as if God has other plans in mind, because we are paying a high price. But I believe it is worth it. I don’t know what is going to happen, if anything visible, but I know when this is all said and done it will have been worth it.
God is calling us into something deeper. He’s giving us a hunger that dwarfs even our physical hunger (which right now is quite immense). The hard part is to not get discouraged, and just keep pressing in. If you’re reading this, please pray for us.
