So, I'm trying to refocus today. I decided over Christmas break that I'm going to take one day a week to do some sort of fast. There's one big prayer request that I'm going to be focusing on but as other things come up I'll pray about those too. I would like to say that I've always been in the habit of prayer and fasting but I haven't. The times that I have fasted I really have felt a hunger (ha) for God and I've felt refocused when all was said and done. I want to stay in that state. I just felt really impressed that I needed to get into that habit. We have a friend in Austin who is doing a 21 day fast and I've been reading his blog. He talked about the importance of knowing the details of your fast. I posted the questions that he had on his blog here. Just in case you're curious....it was a great help for me!
