The boys are all in bed and actually asleep. I have thought about starting a blog for several days now. Not because I think I have anything profound to say or that I am something special but to have some accountability for a new journey I am starting. So...here it goes!
For many of us food has become something that provides us with more joy than it should. I am going to start a journey that I feel might be more successful if I know people are reading to see how I do. I desire to live for God in every area of my life not just the ones that are the easiest. I am not addicted to alcohol, drugs, pornography, you fill in the blank, but I am addicted to food. Changing my lifestyle to a healthy one will truly be very difficult for me. I desire to share this journey with anyone who wants to read about it, in hopes of it motivating me and encouraging others who are in the same place as I am.
Tomorrow I am starting the Daniel Fast to ask God to go before me and help me in this area. To change my desires and seek what His plans are for my life. I usually do fasts and diets to lose weight but I am genuinly doing this to seek God. What a concept, fasting to seek God! It is a 21 day fast so I would love your prayers!
I will share a little more about the Daniel Fast tomorrow. Now off to eat a brownie, I still have 1 hour and 45 minutes before it is Monday. : )
