Fast forward…

As we begin this New Year focusing on prayer, I want to add another practice for us to focus on.

Fasting.

Jesus teaches us often about combining prayer and fasting. He uses stories and parables to show us the power of these things combined.

Praying and fasting should be our first line of defense and offense when faced with a prayer need.

Often, however, it is our last thought.

The skincare story…

I love stories.

I could sit all day at the feet of someone and listen to their stories.

My favorite kind of stories are God stories.

They always fill me up and fuel my faith! They also seem to always come at the exact time I need to hear them.

My daughter, Presley, and I were in the car recently chatting away.

She then said, “Mom, tell me the story about the skincare again. You know the one that was a miracle.”

God often whispers to us throughout our days.

Are you familiar with these whispers?

Maybe it is through a song, a word from a friend, through a circumstance, or through nature itself.

Often, it is a word that keeps rising up in your heart, or you see often.

Steward has been one of those whispers that I keep hearing from Him.
