Daniel Fast update.

Well, this week has been kind of crazy. We have only a few days left of our fast- and so far I still feel the desire to stay home. Scott has contacted a recruiter in another city this week- so we shall see.

An incident happened at work this week- and it made it seem to me that I will not be in this job forever. I also would not have any problem leaving. A few years ago- it would have been very hard for me to leave. But not now. We are still praying for direction.

It is just weird to look back the past few years and see that things that made us want to stay in savannah have changed. We thought I would never want to leave my job, that we would never want to leave our church, and that we would never want to move away from family. My job I could leave tomorrow and not have bad feelings about it. For the past year or so we have been feeling not as connected to our church- but we have not felt we need to move to another in savannah either. Family would be hard to leave- but we will do what we feel we are being called to do.

Prayer Request from Hollie.

My friend Hollie works at a major corporation here in Savannah, and they are laying off 600 people this spring. She thinks she will be in this group. She has applied for a different position- so let's pray for her!!

Our Daniel Fast is going ok so far. Not much to report yet.

Our Biggest Prayer Request

For quite a while now, I have been leaning/wanting/believing I'm supposed to stay home with Noah. But I am the breadwinner. We have been praying a lot, paying off a lot of debt, praying a lot, for this to come about. Scott has been looking for a new job since august. Not much luck. Those he has interviewed for did not want to pay him more than he makes now.

So we decided we needed to do something to get some clarity from God. We are beginning a Daniel fast for the next 10 days. Our denomination is not one that encourages fasting- so this is a first for us. The Daniel fast is one where you eat a limited diet and fast for many days instead of refraining from eating for a day. We will essentially be on a vegan diet for 10 days- maybe longer. We will reassess at the 10 day mark if we need to do more.

The weird thing is everything in our house has been breaking. This weekend it was the stove. Last week we had a new roof on. In the past 2-3 years we have replaced the heater, the air conditioning unit, the pool cleaner, the pool cover. So we are wondering if all this has happened so that if we do have to move, our house will sell quick since it is brand new! We are also working on painting the interior and exterior.

I will keep you posted!

New Blog!

So I wanted another blog to serve as sort of a prayer journal. I will post about what I am praying for. If you want me to pray for you- leave a comment and I will add you. I will add more later!
