Fasting Mondays.

Another family adopting from For His Glory has challenged us to fast Mondays for our kids and other orphans. http://campgirdwood.blogspot.com/

I really believe in fasting, but as I prayed about fasting Mondays I looked up some verses about fasting. This really, really spoke to me:

Ezra 8:21-23 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions. 22 For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” 23 So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer.

We have done this! We have told those who doubt that we are called to adopt this child that WE KNOW God will provide a way, we know he will provide the finances, we know, without any doubt that Sophia Luc is our daughter and we are trusting Him to walk us through it. So we will fast and seek God and ask for his protection and guidance over our daughter, our finances, and all matters of this adoption!

Anyone out there want to join us?
