Fasting

This past Sunday was Fast Sunday. I love Fast Sundays. Not that I love not eating for 24 hours, but I love the Spirit that comes from fasting. Every month there is always something worthy of fasting and praying about. This past Sunday I fasted and prayed about Karley. As you may know in Feburary Karley was diagnosed as having dyslexia. She has had a very hard time learning to read. She also has a difficult time expressing things vocally. During the past school year she has received tutoring by the reading specialist and well as one on one reading with her teacher. She continues to learn, just not as quickly as needed. Two days before school let out we were in the Library checking out books for the summer, when I met the mom of one of the girls that went to the reading specialist with Karley. This mom and I started talking and I found out her daughter is also dyslexic. She had found a wonderful lady to give specialized tutoring for her daughter. So we joined with them and Kaley and Katie have been going to this specialist 3 days a week all summer. This is where the fasting comes in. Now that school is about to start, I wanted to stop the tutoring. I couldn't imagine how I was going to get her to tutoring after school three day a week with my five kids. The tutor is 20 mins away and with traffic much worse. Also it is $400 a month. So I decided that she would just get the help the school offered. I took this to the Lord in fasting and prayer. The blessing of this is that the Lord turned my heart and showed me how Karley really needed this and how he would help me make it work out. I love the Power of the Lord and answers received in prayer.
