40 days of prayer

Our church is starting a 40 days of prayer... Which is pretty cool. I was kinda nervous about it I have a hard time keeping up with stuff like that, but my son and I agreed to do it together... One of the things is fasting.

Now I can't fast like others, the whole diabetic thing ya know... or I would be doing a lot of fasting! Soooo, I am doing the spending fast meaning I will not buy anything that isn't necessary for the next 40 days. The only thing I will be purchasing is the airfare and hotel stuff for the world quiz so I don't think that counts. That I have to get ASAP! So all I am supposed to buy is groceries, gas, and gifts. Now don't be asking for gifts I don't have the money for that. LAUGHS... But I am excited about it. Just to see how it turns out.

Here is the funny thing, my son about had heart failure when I said we were going to fast. He looks at me and goes, "mom, I have to eat, I am already to skinny." So we had a long talk about fasting. His favorite thing to snack on at night is chip ahoy cookies, and a glass of milk. So he decided to give up those and any candy for the next 40 days. Along with us praying and studying for bible quizzing. I think it is pretty cool. I kinda liked the idea, plus will help us with the night time prayers.

So that is where we are at right now, and I am heading to bed because I can hardly keep my eyes open,
