I think we could all use more of God's presence as well as Marc's wisdom...lol. Very enjoyable to think over this one. Great story Katy!

May we all rekindle that flame. However, I know I tend to take God's grace and mercy for granted from time-to-time - actually more often than I'd like to admit. Depriving myself of something for a short period of time reminds me of the unimaginable sacrifice Christ and The Father made for even me. Fasting and deprivation isn't the point, but being reminded of Him is. Marc’s comment is so refreshing…very indicative of a new found faith and the beautiful realization of grace!

Fasting is something I have been struggling with and trying to find out what it really means. I get so hungry when I fast that I don't feel like I can focus on prayer, much less get into His presence. But the "still small voice" in my mind is not letting go of this issue. Interesting article.
