To All the Dear Faithful Readers,

You will remember last year we (my children and I) experienced the blessings of a continuous fast before FATHER GOD.

Fasting one meal a day continuously.

The goal is for extended fasts, however, as a beginning, this was GOD's Blessing to us.

My children and I fasted from supper until noon the next day. This being more than 12 hours a day, could be counted as 1/2 a day. However, we counted it as only 1/3, since we only missed one meal.

Beginning the days honoring GOD with HIS TITHE of our time also saw much blessing.

Some of the BLESSINGS we have seen:

1) a rebellious daughter has been changed into the most angelic and loving Christian. This was more than worth all the hunger pangs.

2) our family purchased a new big beautiful home with a huge, grassy, and fenced yard that came with so many amenities each time you turned a corner, you'd see another reason to Praise THE LORD!- this was a complete miracle. I really should give the details some day.  (we had been living in a 2 bedroom trailer)

3) our house was filled with food - the times we did eat, we could choose from many tasty things- whatever our hearts desired. (this I'm afraid, we may have taken for granted).

4) not one of our immediate family members is/was sick at all last year. I really can't remember going to the doctor not once in the past year. Hallelujah! Yes, please help me Thank HIM for HIS goodness to us.

5) 3 of my dearest relatives went home to be with THE LORD ...my dear Granny Gert, who always prayed for all the family before she went to sleep at night...my beloved Uncle Tommy who was just a kid (teenager) when he went off to Vietnam, I was only 5 was entirely clueless what that meant- I remember when he came to visit and say "See you after the war is over" that my sister Tina (7 at the time) and I agreed he was the most handsome of all our uncles, and Aunt Louise, my mother's older sister, she was the closest of all my aunts and uncles to us, we could talk for hours on the phone always about Our LORD.

6) our gross reciepts in Conrado's business more than tripled-quadrupled... I don't even know how to say how well they did. (That was just the gross reciepts, however. =P After all the business expenditures we still did comfortably well. Meaning we never worried once was there enough to pay the bills, just paid them as they came up).

7) WE WERE DELIVERED FROM CREDIT CARD DEBTS! I was about to say all debts, but there are a few small things we still need to pay off here and there. Which I trust in THE LORD we will very soon be able to give that testimony as well. (Including paying off this house!)

~~~~~~~~~~~

So, why am I expounding on the great blessings of fasting?

2-fold reason:

   1- To inspire anyone/everyone I can whom GOD has been calling to a fast that there is absolutely nothing but BLESSINGS awaiting your obedience to HIM in this area.

  2- Tomorrow's story.

Like anything else we do to honor God, the test is are we really doing it to honor God.  If we are, we will be blessed.  If there is an ulterior motive lurking hidden in our hearts, we'd be spinning our wheels.  -  Barbara
