Pray for me...

Today, I start the Daniel Fast.

Daniel 10:2-3 “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”

I know I'm late. But I figured later was better than never. I've been doing all my research (I'm kind of a research freak. I think I should have been a private investigator), have gone to the store, and am ready to make my first meal. The foods that I can eat are:

• water


• all fruits


• all vegetables


• all whole grains (brown rice, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat tortillas, popcorn)


• all nuts and seeds


• beans

So basically no meat, no dairy, no sugar, no coffee.

Wait, no coffee?

I can't tell you enough how much junk is really in all of our foods! I never really looked at the ingredients too much. I try to eat alot of fruits and veges, stay away from pasta, no packaged meals, you know...the things that 'seem' healthy. I realized this when I was searching for two things in particular. Organic pasta sauce (since whole wheat pasta is allowed) and oatmeal. The sauce was tricky! I searched and searched and finally found one that fit my budget...why didn't anyone ever tell me how expensive organic foods are?! It's crazy how much sugar is really in everything. But, I have to do it. I want to do it. I feel I need to do it. The breakthrough that I need...let's pray I get it. 21 days...here I come!
