Daniel Fast


Daniel Fast Begins!
We are doing a 21 day Vegan Fast with our church community starting yesterday after lunch.  Starting with a 24 hour natural juice fast.  I had done a mini-fast at school and really felt I accomplished something.  We are both really excited.  We are going to hold each other accountable to stick with it.  I think we should add watching Dave Ramsey's series every night so I'll have to talk to Kevin about that.  Since I am nursing I have to do a modified version of the fast.  I am trying to follow along with the guidelines, but adding some stuff back into the meals.  Kevin is trying to do his best to follow along.  He came home with a screaming headache today.  I guess not drinking your normal 3-5 cups of coffee a day will do that to you.  Knowing how much of a picky eater I am we are definately going to have to PLAN like crazy!  I had to have a roll-up last night.  Since we had done grocery shopping last week and I don't want to waste food I did have some ham.  Once this is gone, we will be not buying anymore meat.  Tonight we had a VERY filling black beans and rice meal.  It was based on the recipe from church, but we didn't have all the spices so Kevin modified.  It is about 10pm tonight and Kevin just ran to the store to grab some fruit and veggies to snack on tomorrow.  We have to plan our meals so we can do some real shopping tomorrow night.  We both God moves into our hearts and gives us clarity on issues we are struggling with.
