Day 23: The FAST is over!

So, tonight our church celebrated the end of our 21 day fast with ENCOUNTER (a night of prayer and worship).  I have always hated fasting, especially food, because I hate the way it makes me feel.  However, through the FAST this year I realized that fasting is hard but worth it.  I looked around the church last night and saw so many broken people...and it broke me!  Life is hard and I get it, believe me.  BUT, We need to not let life rule us, we need to rule our life!  Somewhere along the way we start trying to do things in our own strength and it never seems to work out the way we hoped.  BUT when God becomes first in our life again, it always amazes me how things seem to fall back in place and into the right order.  My fast may be over, but my pursuit of God for 2011 has just begun! 

My meal after the fast...I didn't go too crazy!
Thanks Chili's!
