The last 3 weeks, my church has been doing the Daniel Fast. However, I don't agree with it being only grains, fruits and vegetables, and water. I did a word study and decided to fast red meat and greatly reduce, but not eliminate, sugar. I lost 2 pounds.
But you know that whenever you do something unto the Lord, the enemy will attack. Yesterday at church, one of the ladies in our congregation, who always wears her love of Jesus on her sleeve--literally; she wears some of the coolest T-shirts--had her car stolen out of our parking lot during first service. We usually have watchmen posted, mainly to protect our kids--we've had mentally ill individuals try to get at our kids--and there were none during first service.
Also, the stepfather of my friend Selina was doing some lifting last night, and shortly afterward began having chest pains. He was rushed to the ER, and died half an hour later. This is the second time Selina's mom has been widowed--her first husband, Selina's dad, died when a car he was working on as a mechanic fell off the jacks and onto him as he worked underneath it. Selina was in her early teens at the time. So Selina, who's in my Bible study group and is our worship team leader, wasn't at church yesterday.
So please pray that Sissy --the lady whose car was stolen--gets her car back in one piece, and the thief is caught, and for Selina and her mom in their situation. They are Christians.
huh?
Hopefully though we will have an early spring----blessings, Lori
