Prayer & Fasting

     Today starts a whole lot of stuff for me.  For the next two weeks, MCC will be manning the phone at CBN's Nashville Prayer Counseling Center during their Winter Telethon.  I'm so excited about this.  We had the opportunity to go up for some training last Tuesday, and then take some actual calls   It was awesome to be able to pour the Word of God into lives, and believe with them for their needs.  Unfortunately, one of the students got a suicide call.  I imagine it was a little scary, but the actual staff of CBN has a little more training than we do to handle these and there are protocols set in place to handle these calls.  I can't wait to be used by God to help even more people in the next two weeks.  What better way to spend your day than to pray (almost literally without ceasing) and just lead people through the Word.
     There's actually, just one other thing I could think of that might be better, fasting.  And don't you know, that's exactly what MCC is doing for the next 21 days?  We are fasting: all meat, all grain, all dairy, eggs, junkfood & sweets, and sodas & all artificial drinks.  I can't wait!  I know this will be an incredible opportunity to hear from the Lord.  I am personally expecting to hear from Him on some personal things I've been praying about, especially direction wise on things.  I have tons of ideas, but I don't want to make any moves, without hearing from God first.  So, pray for us please, and if you call the 700 club to make a donation or request prayer anytime in the next 2 weeks, who knows, you might talk to me or someone else from MCC!!
