update

The idea of fasting has reappeared in my life over the last few weeks, so Hunter and I decided to do a two-week fast together. We wanted to do this in order to grow closer to God and depend on Him for all. We are now on day four of the fast. I was talking to a buddy last night and told him that I do not want this to be out me and my own personal gain. And to be quite honest, that is how it feels right now. I feel more distant from God, even though I want to be so much closer. I want God to guide me and walk me through this. It seems as if this has become a self will power, even though there have been times where God has eased my stomach pains. If anyone has any advice or wisdom over this I am certainly open to your comments.

On another note, I ran into Roland (the man God used to show me a vision) on Saturday. And I could not believe the transformation that has taken place in this man's life. When I met him he was very rough and vulgar. And just over the few weeks we had been apart God has worked wonders in his life. There was so much joy and life beaming from this man's heart. Roland was a new man and he accredited the Lord to his new beginning.

I tell you there is no greater joy in life than when God uses you to touch someone's life. Roland had shared with me that night we had shared together, when he had just gotten out of jail, was the Lord speaking to him. I certainly do not want to take any of the glory, but I am so joyful that God used me to show this man a life of eternal forgiveness and love.

Lastly, my parents have just left to move to Key West. I have never heard them more excited about anything in my entire life. I am so proud of them and know they will be used for God's purpose. My mom said to me this morning, "Can you believe we are moving to the beach?" A life long dream of theirs and no mom I cannot believe yall are moving to the beach. I believe God has gone above and beyond anything they could ever imagine with the situation He has placed them in. Not only will they be working together, which will strengthen their marriage, but they will be helping foster kids experience a wonderful life they were intended. It is just icing on the cake that this job is on the beach. I know my parents would have taken this even if it were in some podunk country town. God just decided to bless them for their obedience.

I wanted to thank everyone who reads my blog. It has really become a great tool in my life for me to express the things I am experiencing.

be blessed,
your boy elbow
