As I come to the close of my time of fasting, I reflect on all that has happened over the past 3 weeks. I was awakened to an answered prayer, ended a dating relationship, learned some tasty new soup recipes, started a new art project (Artprize! woot woot!!), and learned what true relinquishing means and looks like. God has shown me specific areas of my life that He is changing...not a pleasant process but oh so rewarding in the end. It's kind of like exercise (for those who don't enjoy working out, I'm one of the weirdos who likes it). While you're doing it you feel like you could die at any moment but the results are priceless. That's how it feels to us during times of change, very uncomfortable and unpleasant. But who wants to be 'comfortable' all the time? How boring is that? I would much rather experience a little discomfort knowing the end result will produce something better than stay in a place of comfort all my life.
It was hard letting go of some things lately. However, those decisions have opened the door for newness...for change...for love and freedom.
