Looking back over my posts from previous “dairy & sugar fasts," I'm reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me.

FODMAP Diet Plan
Yesterday, a friend offered me a yummy looking chocolate chip cookie. Declining the treat, I preceded to share that unfortunately, I was observing a “dairy/sugar” fast for the month of March and leading up to Easter (April 17, 2022).

Creating a Thirst
God’s creation has great purpose in tutoring amazing truth! Take for instance the animal world: there are two times a deer develops an insatiable thirst for water—when fleeing from danger and when withstanding an opponent in combat. Likewise, a Christian learns a deep-seated want for God’s Word fleeing from youthful lust and skillfully resisting the … Continue reading Creating a Thirst
