The Fast: Day 8

I'm hungry- but yummy garden patch veggie juice helped! :)

AWESOME day- God blessed me by allowing me to go represent Triangle Church Planting Network at a Baptist Church Planters Conference where Ed Stetzer spoke (it was held at Journey).... God is just shining His favor on Journey.... we've GOT to stay in His will... it's SOOOOO gooood here!!

I LOVE the gym- have I mentioned that before? This week has been great- I take it easy at the gym (for obvious reasons- I don't want to kill myself since I'm not eating. I AM drinking a good number of calories though, so I feel safe to exercise and it really makes me feel good (and worshiping and praying and reading there is FUN!)  I usually do 30-40 minutes on the arc trainer where I listen to worship music and pray and then another 20-30 on another machine where I read. Right now I'm reading Catherine Marshall's Adventures in Prayer at the gym.

I'm reading SO many freaking books... I don't think I can list them all, but let me try...

Devotionals:
I get about 15 electronic devotionals a day (but I don't usually read them all)
My Utmost For His Highest - Oswald Chambers
A Table In The Wilderness - Watchman Nee

When I feel like it:
Come Away My Beloved - Francis J. Roberts
Solo Remix

Study:
I'm also SUPPOSED to be doing my Beth Moore Breaking Free study, but I'm so behind that I feel like it's futile to try to catch up- it will take a MONTH to catch up (and I don't want to do it halfway). 

Books:
Experiencing God - Henry Blackaby
Life In The Spirit- A.W. Tozer
The Cost of Discipleship - Dietrich Bonhoeffer
The Power of a Praying Woman - Stormie Omartian
The Hour That Changes the World - Dick Eastman
Made to Crave - Lysa Terkeurst
Adventures In Prayer - Catherine Marshall

Just got these today- I'm totally digging in in a minute: The Spiritual Man & The Release of the Spirit - Watchman Nee

Now remember, these are the ones I am ACTIVELY reading.... there are many (too many) more sitting here that I am getting ready to read. Can you IMAGINE what it's like in my brain??? <--- I'm kidding... I'm not actually reading all that much of any of them- a chapter here and a chapter there... I LOVE them, but the MOST IMPORTANT one that I read DAILY is the BIBLE!!! I have taken to the King James Version of the Bible lately (I was looking through my Greek New Testament the other day and noticed that one of the verses was DIFFERENT than in my version (but not in the KJV) and it threw me for a loop, so now I want to be diligent in study more than one version (though I LOVE my little blue NLT (it's my SECOND one JUST LIKE THAT)! <-- the first one fell apart! :)

I know, I know... I'm kinda bragging.... how dare I?? If you knew what a mess my desk and nightstand and ottomans and all around me was with all these half read books, you would PITY me, so - yeah - I'm NOT bragging, but I AM trying to collect a snapshot of my life at this minute so I can reflect on it later in life (if I am so inclined to re-read these crazy posts. I doubt it though- they are TOOOOOO LONG!!!!)

Okay. Goin' to dig in to my new books! YAY!! <3
