So for the past 4 weeks I have not had any caffeine and I have not had any sweets. I went to put on my pants today and had to start singing, “Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin’ like a fool with my pants on the ground.” About 4 weeks ago, I bought 2 new pairs of pants, the first new pants that I have bought in probably 4 years; I bought 34-32, which is my size. Well apparently not anymore, I put my pants on this morning and the fell to the ground, I have to ware a belt just to keep them up. This is not something that I am happy about, I don’t need to lose any weight, I don’t want to loose any weight, and now to top it all off, I am doing the Daniel fast for the next 3 weeks, which means that I am only eating fruits, vegetables, and nuts, and I am only drinking water.

So I have been doing the Daniel fast now for two day, and in two words, it sucks. It doesn’t matter how many fruits and vegetables I eat, I cannot get filled up. I have been hungry for the past two days. But I suppose that this is a good thing since the point is to be aware of my hunger and lack of “real food, so I can think about and pray to God more. I have been getting bored with the fruits and veggies already so tonight I came up with an all veggie recipe, which you can on my blog at www.MitchellBoxeth.com. It was good, I felt like I was actually eating a full meal.

So, where am I with God? I have actually been really happy with my walk with God lately, not so much because of the fasting, but because of the book that I keep talking about, “Crazy Love.” This book is a must read, it is challenging me constantly. Let me just give you a few quotes from the book. Also, fruits and vegetable are really expensive.

1.) Are we in love with God, or his stuff? Do you love God who gives you everything, or do you only love every that God Gives You? 2.) Is our concern more about going to Heaven, or loving Jesus? 3.) How we spend our time, what our time goes toward, and where we invest our energy is equivalent to choosing God, or rejecting Him.

These are only a few of the questions that have been challenging my mind for the last 2 weeks. I am really excited about the book, and I think that it is a great book for me to be reading along with my fasting.
