Day 3 and 4

I think things would be better if I didn't have a blinding headache.

Over all the fast has been going incredibly well.  I definitely sense the Lord is walking me through this time.  Growing closer to Him on this journey is the goal but getting my food issues under His authority is the second goal.

It's been neat to learn things.  He has been showing me that my food issues are holding me back from His work. 
Serving was always such a huge part of my life but as the years have went on I have turned my back on that.  I have been seeking the Lord all day for an opportunity to serve Him and help others.  It saddens me to see how me focused I have become over the years.  I am not feeling condemned, just like it is something that the Lord is graciously showing me an area that needs work. 
I am thankful for His gentle ways.  

1st Day of Daniel Fast

Last night was a rough night.  I tossed and turned anxiously praying that this fast will go well.  I cried out that I will tackle the deep issues of my heart.  This morning my stomach growled and I thought I need to eat but remembered that its okay to be hungry.  This is for the Lord, to hear from Him, to give back to Him, and love Him more. 
Not having coffee isn't too terrible right now.  It may change as the day goes.

Learning to deny my flesh will be the hardest part for me.  Telling myself no I can't have that but taking joy and comfort in Jesus is my hearts desire.  

Trusting Him for the outcome.

Day 2

Today has been harder then yesterday.   I feel slightly deprived and wanting things I can't have. 
Last night wasn't a good nights sleep and when I woke up I wanted coffee.  I began to pray and keep things focused on the Lord and it passed.
It sure is hard denying the flesh but it has been helpful.
