So here I am

What's left of me
Where glory meets my suffering

I'm alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I'll fall into Your arms open wide
When the hurt and the healer collide

It's the moment when humanity
Is overcome by majesty
When grace is ushered in for good
And all our scars are understood
When mercy takes its rightful place
And all these questions fade away
When out of the weakness we must bow
And hear You say it's over now

Lyrics to The Hurt and the Healer by Casting Crowns

Friends, We made it!  Our week of fasting is over after today.  The word that comes to mind is VICTORY!  Victory over the enemy is ours!  Remember from day one – Overwhelming victory!

I don’t have any breakthrough stories for this week yet, but we don’t always see them right away or sometimes ever.  We will never know this side of heaven, how many chains were broken this week – but know that they were.  Battles were raged and won this week as a result of our fast.

I look forward to hearing how the week went for all of you – revelations, breakthroughs, restoration in broken areas, promises given, promises claimed.  I’m sure there’s much to be thankful for!  For this last day of fasting, let’s blast Heaven with praise and thanksgiving.

1 Corinthians 15:57

“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Father,

Today we rejoice and give you thanks!  Thank you for all that you have done and for all that you are doing.  Thank you for this community and for the gift of like-minded friends that we have found here.  Thank you for the many blessings you bestow on us daily.  Thank you for our families and for our spouses.  Thank you that our hope is in You and that You are working all things together for our good and for the good of those we love. Thank you that victory is ours through You.  In Your Holy Name!  Amen!

Thank you all for sharing this journey with me!
