i've taken some time this weekend to pray and think about my fast. i'm copying from my notes from my quiet time on friday afternoon:
2/27/09...feeling very strong about fasting
why? to feel more of God's presence and voice, to do something to actively engage and invite Him in. to gain clarity around a decision for later this year.
when? this coming week, monday thru friday. the first week of march. this is very symbolic, as i realize that it's been exactly 1 year since the Quest weekend.
how? how can i fast AND continue running? by eating healthier. use food as fuel. fresh fruits and veggies, smoothies. do liquids for 2 meals (breakfast & lunch), then eat a healthy dinner at night.
what? daily time of worship and prayer. some scriptures that came to mind to meditate on now and during my fast:
2 chron 7:14...humble myself and seek and pray His face and turn from my wicked ways.
matt 6:16-18...do not look somber (or boast) or make it obvious (that i'm fasting).
prov 15...a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh words stirs up anger (call on God when parenting and teaching)

Sorry about the Terry addition. I must have registered before under both our names. It is just me participating. Thanks.
