As the Mia Fast now passes the two week mark (this is not a boast, just facts) there have been some interesting comments and reflections we are discovering that I'd like to share with you all, as well as invite more comments, reflections, and thoughts...
1) This type of fast is harder than a complete fast. This may be due to the fact it is a "thinking" fast. You have to ask questions, read labels, plan out meals, explain to waiters, cooks, etc. There is even some research and collaboration to really know what is in that bag of snacks, in that deli meat, what's really hiding in that beer (darn gluten's are everywhere!).
2) There is an interesting and special bond forming amongst the fast-ers. We relate to each other and get to share in the blessing of doing this for the Winands.
3) I believe the blessings God is going to bestow on Mia, Levi, Remle, and the fast-ers will far exceed the sacrifices made during the prayer and fast.
4) While we can slip up, forget, slid some forbidden foods; Mia can't as her risks and dangers are REAL!
5) A strong sense of commitment, determination and pressing into God is occurring with several of us.... That this is something life changing for the Winands and we want that for them.
6) That this is growing roots and fruit spiritually for the whole community of Christians that we are a part of (regardless of "church" affiliation).
7) That we ain't seen nothing yet! MORE GOD, MORE! Our prayers are reaching heaven and God is moving in this area of prayer, intercession, and with His awesome healing power, grace, mercy, and favor!!!!!!
GOD ROCKS!
