Are you with me?

Are you with me?  

                 I’ve decided to do something specific this week in answer to something God is talking to me about.  Actually, sometimes, I feel like He is shouting at me.  But I can’t quite understand what He wants me to do in response to Him.  

                     Are you with me?  Will you help me understand what He is saying?

I’ve decided to fast for at least a week.  I am going to fast my lunch meals.  I’m going to take about 20-30 minutes during the time I would usually eat and focus some serious prayer/listening times on this situation that is screaming at me.

Are you with me? 

                Have you ever had this happen to you?   

         Do you want to know why I feel so compelled?   

Well, I will tell you.  Here in Cambodia life is just, well, complicated.  I am still trying to understand it.  At one level people seem to have plenty of food, there are bananas growing everywhere and beautiful rice fields.  And people seem so happy.  But now that I understand the language better, I am understanding a very complicated order to things here.  

                                     I know God is the answer.  

                                                                        How does He want to help these dear Ones?  There are families who don’t know how to continue supporting their daughters so they sell them or arrange marriages for them...overseas...even if they are not sure of their daughters’ destiny, whether the man is a Christian or not…or don't know the men or their families...sometimes they sell them...are you still with me?  

There is more to this & I intend to let you in on more of these stories, but in the meantime, if you are still with me.....would you consider fasting with me?   

At least for a week? 

  

                  You don’t have to fast your lunch, or even a meal.  

 You could fast your chewing gum or movie download or chocolate or sodas or Burt’s bees stick.  Whatever will help you remember these dear Ones to Jesus & help me know what God wants me to do in the face of this need.  Don’t you just love Jesus SO much.  He loves these dear Ones more than we do and He has a way of escape for all and He has enough of us to make a difference for Him.  Are you still with me?  (Sometimes I think Jesus is asking us this…)
