Thanks Joy for your insight and sharing your journey so honestly. The part about not letting “failure” get you down, but repenting, picking up and starting again was especially helpful for me. A great reminder! It’s way too easy to just do the “flogging yourself” part and give up. Repentance and grace just seems like a much healthier way to go!!

Thanks Joy-as always this is so imspiring! We have now been many times to Mexico but this trip I was really “rocked” by one situation. We took a grocery hamper to a women and her two children who live in a “stall” (one we here wouldn’t even put our horses in) and she has been on my heart every day since and your blog about water just brought it back again full force as of course clean drinking water is a major issue for them. God is so kind to give us the grace to do the hard things He asks us to do whether it is fasting or giving out of the ‘abundance’ we have and loving those who have so little. Thank you!

The ‘late’ Christmas card reminds me of the major lesson God taught Joe and me in our cross Canada trip a number of years ago: God is the master of timing. Your friend who sent the card may have thought to himself, ‘Why send it now? It’s late.’ He may have shrugged and stuck it in the mail anyways, not knowing how the message it contained given when it was, was God’s perfect timing – not late at all. Thanks once again, for sharing vulnerably your journey with God.

Thanks Joy for this, and for your honest struggle in the midst of obedience. We are studying spiritual disciplines this year as a church, and we just did a month of teaching on prayer and fasting. We feel like novices, but we did have about 50 people doing some type of weekly fast for 40 days through today – Easter Sunday. Blessings to you – He is Risen!
