16 “Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my attendants will fast as you do. When this is done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish.”
The fast caught my eye again. Big decision coming, and she fasts and asked that they do it with her.
This of course reminds me of our fast and wondering if you have been able to stay in contact with Rich? I must admit I have not prayed for him in over a week but this reignites my thoughts and prayers for God to give him peace and ease his pain. Some how out of this tragedy I pray that God would work in his life in a positive way.

I have seen him.......lots. Not privately where we could really talk about how he's doing. But, I had lunch with him last week, with 5 other dudes. He recounted the entire episode from beginning to end, in excruciating detail. It was really tough to listen to. Then the visitation and funeral were last week friday and saturday. They had her ashes there, and photos everywhere. It was really tough. One of the toughest funerals I've been to in a long time. Lots of tears.
ReplyDeleteWhen God put him into your mind....say a prayer for him. He seems to be doing pretty well, but he needs God.....as we all do.
The theme to this is to seek God's help when you have something looming. Prepare yourself for the event, in his terms.....not yours.
I think its a great picture into how we should approach life, with God as the focal point.
