So, today is day 21... and this marks the end of my Daniel Fast. This evening I was spending time with some friends I reflected on how nice it felt to have made it 21 days, and as I shared about my experience I was reminded that the BIGGEST lesson that God has...
21 Day Daniel Fast
Day 20 – Daniel Fast
Ok... it’s day 20... yay!! I must say I’ve never seen 20 days go by slower... lol... Seriously! I typically say time flies, but these past 20 days have been going by at a bit of a snail pace. But THANK GOD... I made it!!! I am so happy to be in the 20’s...
Day 19 – Daniel Fast
So I was talking with a friend today, who shared that one of her friends mentioned/insinuated that the Daniel Fast wasn’t a legitimate fast, and basically not as good as fasting completely from all food. My friend and I both disagreed with that idea, and began...
Day 18 – Daniel Fast
Today I’ve been thinking about something I read in Joyce Meyer’s book – Power Thoughts “Success begins with a thought”. I find that statement very motivating! I believe that getting to day 18 of the Daniel Fast has come with the practice of thinking and believing...
Day 17 – Daniel Fast
Wow... I’m at day 17 and still hangin in! I’m thanking God for the faith, grace, and the strength! The past few days have been ok. The struggle continues however NOT with the same passion with which it hit me on day 13 lol... so I’m very thankful for this. I guess...

Day 15 – Daniel Fast
Ok, very brief post tonight. Just checkin in... and checkin out... I committed to writing a blog a day for 2011, and again just like last week (on the weekend) I almost forgot. I've really got to implement something that will help me MAKE SURE I don't miss! I'm not...
Day 14 – Daniel Fast… ok, so today I fainted, and licked a piece of meat!
Day 14, and would you believe that I actually fainted this morning. I woke up extra early so that I could get a good chunk of work done before my kids woke up. I was cleaning the bathroom and moving up and down and up and down, I guess too fast, and as I stood up...
Day 13 – Daniel Fast
It's 3:30pm on day 13 and the STRUGGLE IS ON!!! I was diving home from a meeting this afternoon, and I saw a man in the car beside me sipping ever so gracefully on his Tim Horton’s beverage (I imagined it was a large tea, 3 sugars and 2 milks... just how I like it)...
Day 12 – Daniel Fast
So things aren't getting any easier!! Thought by now I'd have the swing of things, and not be craving all the food I have restricted myself from having on the fast.... BUT NO!!! The cravings are still here! Alive and well! Is it frustrating? Yes, but should it be...
