The Daniel Fast

Today is Saturday March 13^th. There are three more weeks or 21 days until Easter. Tomorrow I start the Daniel fast. For the next three weeks I can only eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts, and I can only drink water. This is going to be really hard for me, considering I don’t like vegetables, and fruit is never my first choice of food to eat. I have not gotten much out of my fasting caffeine the last 3 in a half weeks, however, because of lots of prayer, and reading the book “Crazy Love,” and the last few sermons at church, I am really excited to see a God is going to do in my life over the next week weeks. I mentioned a quote in my last blog, “If you don’t change the way you live, you’re live is never going to change.” I am committed to making some changes in my life. What exactly these changes are going to be, I can yet say, but I will know by the time Easter gets here.

Also for the next 21 days I am going to be replacing part of my daily bible reading with reading a book called “Secrets of the Silence,” by Bob Kilpatrick. It is a 21 day prayer journey of the power of praying without words. If you have been following my blogs, that you know that prayer is something that I struggle with. It’s not that I don’t know how to pray; it’s just not something that I feel I am very good at. I am determined to master the art of prayer, maybe not in the next 21 days, but hopefully by the end of this year. Our church is really focusing on prayer this year; I think that I will have plenty of support. I am excited to tell you about some really great things to come.
