Love Sick

by admin on Jan.07, 2009, under Daniel, Hope Chapel West O'ahu, Mike Kai, fasting

This morning, I was talking to Pastor Rob Gross from Mountain View Community Church about our fast. I told him that there was a “buzz” in our church about what we’re doing and particularly on Sunday morning. Everyone seemed so excited. What are we going to eat, etc…

Then he told me something worth noting. Fasting is about Love Sickness. Huh? Yep. Love sick. Ever been there? When was the last time? Junior high? HS? Last week? :)
Love sickness, like fasting, is about drawing near to the Person you Love and who loves you. That’s what fasting is all about. Cool, huh?
Another note: I’m likely going to make tonight the end of my “Kaniala” and go for the liquid. Personally, I’m getting too tired of figuring out what to eat. Do you find yourself thinking about food a little too much? I’m not referring to a Big Mac or a bento from Tanioka’s. I mean thinking about “what can I eat?” during the Kaniala. Liquid.

Let The "Danny" or the "Kaniala" Begin!

Good Morning!
Last night my friend Steve and I were talking about our fast and the particulars of such an ambitious endeavor for two local boys who love their sushi, Zippy’s fried chicken and sweet and sour spareribs with macaroni salad (doesn’t it sound like I’m an inmate on death row planning his last meal request?).

So we gave our Daniel fast a name. We’re calling it the Danny-Boy or the Kaniala (which in Hawaiian means….Daniel. Ta-da!).

All kidding aside, I’m really looking forward to hearing God’s voice during this fast. How’s it going for you so far?

Also, if you’ve ordered or would like to purchase a One Year Chronological Bible to track with us (offer limited to O’ahu-ans), they are now available and may be picked up at our new offices at the Waikele Shopping Center between 9AM-6PM, Tuesday ’til Friday.
