Fasting for Seven

Can't sleep very well tonight and Coco isn't helping matters much! I just went and let her out and took a pill so hopefully soon I'll be snoozing.

Today I'll be starting day 7 of a Juice/Water fast.  Don't know if I'll make it through the day - I want to eat!  I have had tremendous ease and grace so far though.  asking for alignment in my personal life mostly but also for alignment in my marriage and in the church.

The fast has been easy but the praying part has been hard slugging.  Feel so lethargic in that respect.  Was good to go to intercessory prayer and pray with others.

Ron has been in Vancouver - since Monday which has made it easy for me - very little cooking.  The kids have been at Mom's a couple to times for supper.  I have felt quite badly for my lack of "connection" with mom and Dad and Tante Hilda this winter.  Seems they're lonelier and we just don't get over there much.  

Lord I need your help in this area.  I need to know what is my responsibility in honouring and blessing them and the Engel's and to do it with love.
