Greetings Ladies,
I just want everyone to know that this fast has really been a blessing for me. I have been fasting since January 1st. And week by week my spiritual legs have been getting stronger. At my church here in DC (actually in Forestville, MD) we are celebrating this year, 2007, as the year of hope and expectation. God is commanding me to hope again and expect great things year at a time when I wanted to go into chill and bask in the glow of stepping into my promise.
Thank you, Barbara for putting me on to that little but POWERFUL book on fasting. I read five chapters of it last night and it just took me into a moment of prayer and praise!!! I am more excited over my fast now than when I started!
I thought I would reach out to everyone and put the power of our prayers to work in an area of my life God revealed needs to be put to death. On Sunday, during service the topic was on confrontation and how we avoid it because we want to stay comfortable and keep the peace. For me specifically, I defined confrontation as a fight. I did not want to fight, so I avoid dealing with issues until I can't take it anymore.
I am advancing my fasting level today to have a 24 hour normal fast because tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. I am having to confront a person on my job about some specific issues.
So please pray for the these things: 1. The peace of God that surpasses all understanding, 2. that God will go before me and handle the battle even before I get to the meeting, 3. to destroy the spirit of rebellion, manipulation, haughtiness, and pride, 4. and for a renewed relationship and commitment to the work we do for the students and people are working with accomplish this good work.
I am believing God that this organization, JAG-DC, can have atomsphere of team work, respect, and even fun. I believe that not just me but everyone can enjoy their job and therefore enjoy their life.
Thank you ladies for your prayers and I am look forward to giving you my praise report on Wednesday evening.

Hi Taliah!
I really like this prayer request circle we have going on. It keeps me humbled in the fact that I am not the only one out there that needs prayer and that prayer can be used for any and every situation; and when we all come together in agreement to lift each other up to the Lord, prayers are answered and manifestations are seen! It's exciting! I have prayed for you, asking for the specific things you requested, and also that the spirit of love and understanding would resonate in the people you have to speak with tomorrow...that their spirits are able to receive your words out of love.
I look forward to your praise report as well, for we know this thing is already done - AMEN!
Be blessed,
