In Wisconsin there is a place called the Wilderness Fellowship Ministries, it is located on Spirit Lake. The Wilderness Fellowship Ministries is a four season ministry facility which provides a place of retreat and refreshment that fosters Godly intimacy. It is located on 244 acres of rolling wooded land with frontage on two good fishing lakes. Retreat facilities include personal prayer cabins, larger cabins for groups or families and a large meeting facility. I have been there a few times before with the Bible Study group that I met Jane through. We used to rent out the group cabins and go to fellowship. It is a beautiful place.
On Monday May 24th to Thursday 27th, I am going to be renting out a prayer cabin by myself. I will be leaving Jane and the kids at home; well actually, they will be going to Bemidji. I am going to be spending 2 full day alone with God. There will be no distractions. I am really looking forward to this time. I love time with my family, don’t get me wrong, but I really need a couple of days alone to reflect. I have no expectations or goals for this retreat. I am just going to go and see what happens, and let God lead me.
I am toying with the idea of fasting for the 2 full days that I am there. This would not be a Daniel Fast, this would be a I don’t eat anything fast, I would allow myself to drink water. I have not made a decision yet, but I really don’t feel like giving up food for two days. If I do fast, God will lay it on my heart, but I haven’t really felt Him telling me that. I will blog when I have more information, but really there is nothing to tell. I will blog about my trip to the Wilderness when I get back. Please keep me in your prayers, that I might come to know God in a more intimate way than ever before.
