Octoberfast

Every October Ceci's family fasts for 40 days. They have been doing this for years, and they fast from sweets and from eating between meals. Recently, I've been joining them in this fast. Personally, fasting can be a good time of examining one's life and refocusing one's priorities on God. So, during this time of fasting, here is what I will be praying about/focusing on/seeking God for...

- Increased passion for Jesus.
- A focused life. God, what do you want me to do?
- Wisdom on how to be a father to my three children, and guidance on how to show them the amazing love of Jesus.
- Wisdom on how to be a caring husband.
- A desire to see people's lives transformed by Jesus.
- Desire to be part of a church that is thriving. Energy to invest in LVC with passion and excitement.

Those are a few thoughts that come to mind as I begin this Octoberfast.
