All my life, in every season, you are still God and I have a reason to sing and worship.
This morning our team broke our 60 hour fast with communion and worship. There was no doubt that the Holy Spirit fell on our little hut and moved in each of our hearts. This fast was one of the biggest lessons in obedience I have ever had. Yesterday night, we sat around in a circle and each shared how the Lord moved in our lives during the fast and what we heard him speaking to us.
As I sat and listened to everyone’s testimony I kept asking the Lord why do I feel like I have not blatantly heard from you? Then, as if God was standing right in front of me, I realized all along what he was trying to say to me. Throughout our fast the Lord was teaching me how to not fight my battles alone. I absolutely love food, and anyone of my friends or family could vouch for me on that. After the first 24 hours of fasting I asked the Lord for some serious doses of strength to get me through the rest of the fast. I shouldn’t have been surprised because the Lord hears anything and everything I say, but I did not feel hunger for the rest of the 36 hours.
I know God is smiling and saying, “See Emily, I told you, you can do all things through me”. This not only applies to God giving me my ultimate strength to fight my battles, but I also relied on my team to build me up and give me encouragement. It is so true that God will provide for us in our times of struggle and he will listen if we just give him the desires of our heart.
I’ve always known deep down that the Lord will carry me through those stressful times, but it puts a whole new meaning on reliance in the Lord when you are actually pushed to your limits and give it all up to him.
LOVETOALL.

PS. I just want to say thank you to those who have supported me in my blogs and getting me here. I have said it before, but I truly can not express how much your prayers and love mean to me. God Bless you all.
