When I first glanced at New Life church's schedule for the upcoming new year, I noticed that the church was going to be doing a 21-day liquid fast. I didn't think much of it, but since that time (around Thanksgiving), I have had a nudging feeling and growing conviction that the Lord has something very special prepared for me during this time of hungering for Him and for greater intimacy. On the eve of the fast, I come before the Lord very much unraveled and very much lost. There are strongholds in my life that need to be broken, idols that need to be replaced by God, desperation that needs to involve running towards God. I need to encounter God and the truth that I am known and loved deeply by Him. I want to experience more of His love, I want to experience growth and power in my prayer life and find myself marveling at the Gospel once more. It is a spiritual pilgrimage that excites me, makes me nervous, and pushes me to surrender and trust in the goodness of God.
