Thanks for writing this blog Joy. I have always believed that “fear of failure” or “fear of looking stupid” is what is keeping churches at bay.

Dear Joy: Thank you for this encouraging sharing. Stepping out of my comfort zone is still my weak point. I need to continue to trust what He can do and will do, instead of focusing on myself. Love U!

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!

keep writing Matte – it’s both entertaining and inspiring, a rare feat. I love the theme of the mystical mundane…

What a wonderful reminder!! In the craziness of life it becomes so easy to forget the small, simple and understated in our lives…..Thanks for reminding me what really matters!

Good stuff, Matte! The monumental moves of God in our life only come in the midst of incremental faithfulness and gratitude. You are well-positioned!
