Today we start a 40 day fast for the breaking in of revival on college campuses. I am going to do my best to post as much as I can during these 40 days. Since I am nursing I can’t exactly fast food, therefore I am seeking to do some things that the Lord has been convicting my heart about recently. Mostly I will be blogging for the sake of accountability. 
One thing is seeking to serve others and doing works of justice. This has obviously very wide implications, but we’ll see what it leads to. (preaching the gospel, praying for random people…I don’t know we’ll see.) The other thing is my tongue. I want so badly to be blameless in the words that I speak. As a messenger I am wired to talk, therefore in the process of my sanctification speech has become a major issue and a rather serious conviction. I’m not going to explain what this will look like as it is rather complicated, but let’s just say the Lord has zeal on complaining. No complaining!!! What does the sermon on the mount look like in regards to the tongue, that kind of thing. So, if your reading this say a quick prayer for me, and maybe I’ll be more holy at the end of 40 days.

I so agree with you about the power of the tongue. I have a fellow mom in my Moms In Touch group who has the most beautiful, childlike, gentle voice that I have ever heard. I love to listen to her pray and I seriously consider her words. I asked the Lord to please give me a tone of voice like hers and then maybe I would be more confident about being heard!
