For the next 2 weeks, we're taking time to intentionally develop a LISTENING HEART
through Prayer, Fasting, and Bible Study. We believe that when we begin the habit
of putting God at the center of our lives at the beginning of the year, we set the tone for the
rest of the year.
We have provided some instructions to assist you during this time of fasting and prayer.
May you experience God's Restoration for you and your home as we pursue God together!

100% Fruit juices are allowed. Fresh and dried fruit are allowed and are so much better for you! Trailmixes containing no candy pieces are also allowed. Don't get bored by repeating the same recipes over and over. Think of potatoes (sweet potatoes, yams, Irish potatoes etc.), and squashes as your main side.

***If you are on medication, continue on your prescription as directed.
****Those with Diabetes, beware of too much sugar from fruit! This can make your blood sugar run to high, so always have at least half the volume of your fluid be water.
