Ready to get going

I was really inspired by Mike's devotional today. It's cool to kinda see into how others connect with God. I need to go shopping for the Daniel fast. I know oatmeal and granola are going to be a breakfast hit. Lunch seems to be the hardest to jump on because I am so mobile. (I think we are doing family cooking) Maggie is really excited about the fast and is becoming a pretty good cook.

I luv that this is a shared experience! I have had four phone calls and three emails today about the fast - that is so cool. I talked to one person who is hosting a dinner party on Monday and having each family bring their favorite dish for the fast and then trading recipes... GREAT IDEA!

Shelley's home - I don't do well without her. All my prayers have been focused on her and what God wanted to do in and through her. God showed up in Alaska in amazing ways and lives have been changed for eternity. Praise God!

Today my thoughts and prayers have been for you, the people of Real Life. I feel so blessed to be surrounded by such authentic people - it's real and honest and I believe pleasing to God. I prayed today for God to take us to a higher place in Him. I asked God to help us trust him with reckless abandon and to open our eyes to the brokenness around us so we can offer just a little hope. Hope we find when we seek God.

Can't wait for tomorrow
