Day 9

Oh man, just when you think you've sacrificed enough...your choice food...today's devo is asking us to
explore how we can present our body as a living sacrifice to God. Today's passage-Romans 12,
starts with that challenge and offers many ways to express it.  In what ways has your fast been helping
you experience true worship in new ways?  Pray today and ask God to continue to reveal His will for
you during this time of sacrifice and worship.
Are you noticing the extremes in your usual way of eating compared to how you've eating now?  I hope
that you are reaping blessings and answers to your fast as we have completed the first week.
I would really like some blogging happening here....(hint, hint) :-) thanks for comments!
