Day 5

Yesterday was hard... but I just want my heart moved by the things that move God, so I press in and continue to rid myself of "everything that hinders."

I find I am uncomfortable with stillness much of the time. I like to be busy. I like to be occupied. This fast is taking away the energy that I had for the busy swirl of my day and forcing me into stillness.

I want to be as at home in the stillness with God as I am in the noise. You know what I mean? I want the whisper or even the silence of God to stir longing in my heart. I love the whirlwind experiences, but I want to know the power of stillness.
