Fast Time!

I have put this off far too long. Starting tomorrow, February 1st 2009 I will go on a fast. There has been so much going on in my life and I have been on a quest for clarity. God answered my prayers about a month ago. In order for me to live the life He’s destined me for, I have to first seek Him, purely and solely with no distractions. I must meditate on His Word and obey His voice.

Those who know me will be the first to say that I am a multifaceted person and I have very few boundaries. I tend to enjoying “doing me” and not worry about what the world has to say about it. I love the Lord, but I must admit I tend to love Him on my terms, when it pleasing to me. It is time for me to do what is going to be pleasing to Him on His terms. I have made strides to do this in the past, but tomorrow, February 1st , I will begin the journey!

My fast will be simple and will consist of; only two shakes (one for breakfast/one for lunch) and a small meal after 6pm (only fresh fruits/vegetables, fish only –no meat-). I will not drink any alcohol and will cease all “partying”. Each day I will pray at breakfast/lunch/dinner, I will also meditate each night before I go to sleep. I will continue to work out (moderately) and do yoga (the purpose of the two shakes during the day) and only consume water.

This fast is my dedication to God and getting back to His purpose for my life. I will continue to attend church on Wednesdays and Sundays and I will make sure I read my bible every night. I am sacrificing my comfort zone and giving up all my vices (alcohol-excessive snacking-hanging out- and yes… BULLET!), and leaning only on God to fulfill the desires of my heart!

I will try to update this blog on my triumphs and short comings. I do appreciate any and all support from each of you. Trust me… I will need it!

I have customized this fast to fit my personal needs. It is non-traditional, but I do pray that it gives me the clarity that I so terribly need.

Here goes…

In Peace and Struggle.
