So far...today has been a good day! I got much needed rest as I didn't have to get up early for work today because I only have a meeting from 4pm-7pm today. So, I spent the day playing guitar and singing to the Lord, and receiving council from family. Several members of my family have had reservations about me doing a food fast for 40 days. So, I decided to do more research on fasting and was given a good website from my younger sister today. After reading about fasts...I feel I have prepared myself well for it, but...the site mentioned good things to try during fasting. The site mentioned drinking all natural fruit and vegetable juices or purees during the food fast and also drinking broths from stewing vegetables and such. I might try a few of these things, as it may make it easier to endure a 40 day fast...and I think it will also help those concerned be more supportive of what I need to do :) So, I may be adding in V8 or something of the like but am really trying to keep it limited. I'm trusting in God and praying about just how much I should be allowing myself (other than water) during the fast. I do intend to keep the fast as healthy and safe for myself as possible and have promised my younger sister that I won't allow myself to pass out :)
So far...day 4 is going well! It is Wednesday...which means it's slimfast day!
Continual blessings to you all!

What's hard is to do His will in every way, in every day, no matter what people say. Listen to what the Lord is saying, even through your body. He wants to sustain you, is it Him or is it us? When Peter walked on the waves, the only time he failed was when he looked around him and took his eyes off the lord and put them on his circumstances. While he was on the water he was the best living example of Christ, when he fell, Jesus still caught him. "I must obey God rather than man!" Don't be moved by what they say, be moved by what God says, cause He's done this before!
