I’m glad to be wrapping up this day as well… I spent the morning doing some work at church, which left me pretty drained. A 2 hour nap this afternoon helped out quite a bit, but I spent most of the day feeling pretty lightheaded and exhausted. I hung out with my brother, who is fasting (and hopefully blogging) with us, this afternoon and evening and we had to ride in a car with our younger brother while he was eating a sandwich and fries from Chik-Fil-A. Talk about torture, the smell was just heavenly. I also developed a headache this evening, but it doesn’t sound like it was anything close to yours Dustin.
I’ve been finding myself getting ‘bored’ rather easily, because I’m fasting from entertainment in addition to food so I can really focus in on my walk with the Lord. So this evening I was laying down just asking God to draw near and bring me into a closer relationship & friendship with Him and fill me up more and more with the Holy Spirit. As I did I began to feel the presence of the Holy Spirit and a peace just came over me. My headache went away, as did my hunger for quite a while. As I laid there just basking in His presence, both of my hands began to burn with an intense heat. I asked the Lord what it was, but didn’t get a clear answer. It wasn’t just in my head though, it was happening in both hands simultaneously.
