Notes on Fasting from 2014

January 5--

The best of all first fruits of any kind, and every sacrifice of any kind from all your sacrifices, shall be the priest's; also you shall give to the priest the first of your ground meal, to cause a blessing to the rest on your house. --Ezekiel 44:30

Did great today. Napped thru some of the caffeine withdrawal and didn't eat until I actually felt hungry.

The are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.  Sanctify them by your truth.  Your word is truth.  As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.  --John 17:16-18

I am struggling today.  I have a headache from caffeine withdrawal and am sluggish and hungry.  I thought I had hummus at work but I didn't.  So just my pita chips, apple, cereal and almond milk so far.  I am praying for strength and I know that this is a painful process of detoxifying my body.

Yesterday was much better.  I am trying not to feel too badly about not being able to do it the "right" way.  I am still giving up meats, sweets and breads and that is huge for me.  I've allowed dairy and morning coffee only.  It makes me so appreciative of my savior's sacrifice and the discipline of all those in the Bible that fasted for the Lord.  I feel like God is already showing me some things--on marriage/dating--keep waiting; on the job--start looking; on serving--be ready. 

This morning I overslept and missed 6 a.m. prayer meeting so I am looking all the more forward to 1st Wed services tonight! And hope to make it to church tomorrow morning.

From handwritten journal August 8, 2017

Lord, I am thankful for so much! Thank you that Darrell will be okay. I ask that You, almighty God continue to protect and bless him.  Get him off the streets Lord. Move mountains and get it rolliing like only you can. Thank you for timely scriptures and devotionals. Thank you for the freedom of rejection. I ask that my heart not be bitter with disappointment but full of joy in knowing You plan has yet to be revealed. Thank you for the opportunity to plan new fields for You. I will faithfully go where You send me. Keep my focus on You!
