Thursday Lunch Fast

I originally started two blogs (when it was a new and exciting thing)- Remy Adoption Journey, and By Prayer and Fasting. The first seems pretty self-explanatory. The second was in response to a commitment I made to weekly fasting from one meal, and take that time to ask God what he would have me pray for, and remind myself that some things God only makes possible "by prayer and fasting" (from the story about the disciples casting out demons). I am now combining these two blogs, and am fasting from Thursday's lunch in order to pray for children in the foster care system, and our role in the process. I found that other than taking the training courses, I was thinking and praying very little for this, and when people would ask us where we were in the process, I would have only small details to report if any. And while some of this lies in the contentment and thankfulness of the children and life we have currently, I recognized that if this was something God laid on our heart to do, I would like to have more emotional/spiritual/physical investment than simply filling out paperwork and taking classes. So hopefully I will be able to report some more things I am learning/hearing from God, and finding connections with during these Thursday lunch times.
