Can you say busy? - originally posted August 26, 2007

So I haven't written for awhile and I think I'm gonig to just make this a regular blog and just talk about whatever is up.
So things have been super busy.
I finished my fast.
Went on holidays.
Sold our house.
Bought a new house.
Closed a deal with a vendor at work that I've been working on for 1 1/2 years.
and had a house guest from Texas for the past week.
Finished the web-site for the church (just waiting for the leadership team to provide some content)
These are the main reasons I haven't posted in awhile.
So let me provide some thoughts about my fast. I can honestly say that I miss it. What an amazing experience, it feels so good to have that kind of discipline in your life and it taught me a lot about myself. I feel that in 32 days I was re-energized, transformed, changed, enlightened, renewed, validated, encouraged, filled up and poured into. From the support of my family and friends to the closeness I felt with God, it all was truly amazing. Even though there was some mocking from co-workers at times that started to get to me, I was able to quickly overcome that and not let it bother me. Further more I think it was a great witness to people that I know that life is about more than just living for yourself.
Some of the outcomes of the fast are as follows:
We are moving to Okotoks as we sold our house and bought another with relative ease (thank the Lord) and learnt a ton while we did it.
I've decided to get back in shape and pursue police work as a career (will most likely apply next year)
I've drawn closer to God.
I feel a deeper and more appreciative Love for my wife, kids, friends and family.
I feel clear direction from the Lord on some ministry opportunities that Cindy and I will start once we move.
I've regained a sense of peace in my life regarding where we are and what we are doing.
I am really seeing a change of seasons in some of my realtionships as some seem to be cooling off and some seem to be being intensified.
The Lord has really deepened the teaching and learning that I first spoke about here : faith
Regardless it's all very exciting and I look forward to this next season in our life.
