Welcome to Montana

Check out what we awoke to this morning.

This is after about 30 minutes of snow.

The snow never stuck on the streets, but it did push these out. They were only about 2 blocks from my house, as I was out and about this morning I saw them, I almost caused a 5 car pile up. :)

Turkeys, 2 blocks from my house in downtown Billings. A town of 120,000 people, are your serious?

Phillipians 3: 4-14

Some of the scripture I was reading today reminded me of the boldness required to live and participate in the Christ.

¹⁰I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised him from the dead.

Note to self, be bold today and ask for things only God can give.

Fasting

Anyone who knows me will know I don't normally look for reasons not to eat, but this past Tuesday Court, myself and some friends chose to fast as a spiritual discipline. 

It wasn't easy, we chose the sun up till sun down fast. So I woke up extra early and cooked myself one egg for the day. I managed to gobble it down in time to beat sunrise. Then the spiritual exercise began.

Hunger pains! I mean are you kidding me, do I really know what a hunger pain is? I could surely go several days without eating and still survive. Nonetheless I did have some sort of pain I normally medicate with twinkies or something of that nature.

Using these pains as reminders to lift up prayer for myself, Court and our friends was pretty awesome during the day. It was a hectic day, and I found myself needing to pray quite a bit. 

It was nice to have others to pray for. It reminded me I was not alone, and it helped me to focus on the bigger picture instead of just myself. I was glad to eat though. I was hungrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry!
