Keep it going...

Can you believe that it has already been 2 weeks since the beginning of our fast. I remember the first few days feeling like "This is going to be a long 30 days" but now it really seems like it has gone by so fast. Robert and I had committed to the Daniels diet (no meat, bread, or sweets) for 2 weeks and though it was difficult at times trying to figure out what we were going to eat for dinner and then what we were going to make for our kids for dinner, it was really easy. I found that our eating habits are much like our daily life patterns.... we crave and desire things that are not good for us but when we have discipline with ourselves and do right by our bodies we actually feel better inside and out. Just like if we discipline our actions and thoughts we feel better about our daily walk with God as well. Even though our "Daniel Fast" is over I find myself wanting to keep it going..... and I think that is what this revolution is all about. We set out for a 30 day revolution but God has set out for a lifetime revolution. With 1/2 the month left still, I pray that the motivation that God has instilled in each of us to better our walk with Him will continue much longer.

  1. I am doing the Daniel diet too!!! It is harder than I thought! I started out just doing it during the workday but increased it this week to everyday, all day. Good job on completing what you set out to do! I am proud of you...and I know God is too!
