New Year is Here

Ahhh...another new year. A time that seems suitable for fresh starts, breaking bad habits, and implementing new healthy ones. This year I am attempting the Daniel Fast. I say attempt, because let's face it, I'm not exactly a diehard when it comes to making commitments. I have a serious lack of self-control...and loathing for routines and structure. With that said, I am seeking the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to follow this one through. So basically, the Daniel Fast is based on Daniel 10:2,3. Daniel, in mourning, decided to basically eat no meat or "choice food" and drink no wine for 3 weeks. The idea is to eat only fruit and vegetables and only drink water for 3 weeks. For me, it is a way to cleanse my body from all the processed foods and chemicals that I consume on a daily basis. Also, I hope to focus on Jesus, digging into His word and get back to what is truly important in life.....a relationship with Him...and bringing Him glory. So armed with my supply of vegetables, beans and fruit, and my sword of the Spirit, here we go.....Lord, lead the way!
