Good for you, and I hope your family is well and safe in TN.purple-powerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07020541712074673527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25842404.post-11948732587212459122008-02-09T11:20:00.000-05:002008-02-09T11:20:00.000-05:00I will pray for you!

I do understand what a challenge this can be and am very serious when I say, your faith will be tested, but as a knitter/crocheter, I think it is a great thing you are doing and next time I feel the need to fast, I may steal this idea. Being a diabetic, it is hard for me to fast food, so I usually give up my soaps, but I think giving up buying yarn for 40 days (and nights) would be a great show of faith to my God of how much I love him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25842404.post-17964831015750270302008-02-08T20:53:00.000-05:002008-02-08T20:53:00.000-05:00I'm sure this will build character, Amanda 8^).
