Last Day to Fast

Today ends my 40 day fast and I have to say this has been an amazing experience.  It was hard.  I cannot lie.  When you fast something you love and depend upon each day for comfort or joy it is not easy to do without it.  There were days when I wondered if it really mattered or if God really even cared that I was fasting in order to hear from Him.  You know me, I am always honest.  But then I would realize I could do it with His help and strength and that hearing from God himself would be more than worth all the fasting I had done.  Today is the last day and I have mixed emotions.  I have yet to see the answer to my prayer in the physical but God has already given me an answer in the spiritual so I can rest in that until it comes in this realm.  I pray God sees my heart for Him and how much I do really love Him.  I have grown closer to Him and that was really what mattered the most all along.
