2012 Fast Begin Again

My old bugaboo, free food, got me again last night when I was unable to resist eating at Pierce County Christian Singles.
Today, I began again and have been water fasting all day. I feel very hungry but I know that the feeling of hunger will dissapate after the third day. Once I've done 3 days of wateer fasting, I will begin the 80/10/10 diet that I normally do when I fast.
My prayers during this fast remain the same as when I first started this fast. I am adding a prayer for God to give me direction in regards to my role in the coming year.

2012 Fast 2nd Day

I water fasted all the first day (it was very easy, I wasn't hungry at all) and up to 8PM on the second day. I then had my usual intestinal issue and ate a little something to calm it down. I will start the water fast again today & go as long as I can until the intestinal issue reappears.
During this fast, I am praying for unsaved loved ones, for healing of my gum issues and for my financial situation to improve. I'm also praying for the needs of my friends and relatives, both physical and financial.

2012 New Fast-First Day

I wasn't planning to start my yearly January fast until Jentezen Franklin does his in late January; but today I woke up and it just felt right to start. I've been doing a water fast all day and I had no hunger at all. Yea! I feel as if I should spend tonight doing some extra praying and so I will do that very soon.
Although I didn't originally have a plan, my plan now is to water fast tomorrow and, maybe, the next day and then go on an 80/10/10 fast as I did last year.
We'll see how the Lord leads.

Natural Pomander Ball Air Freshener

Health Tip of the Day

To make a natural air freshener, create a pomander ball by inserting whole cloves into an unpeeled orange, lemon, lime or apple. Poke holes in the peel with a nail first to keep the cloves from breaking.

I went to my real estate office 3 times (bday cake available FREE three times!) and was able to choose NOT to eat it. I'm so thankful that the Lord is giving me strength to do this fast! Friday night at 7:30, we began our "solemn assembly" and it lasted until Saturday night at 7:30. Some people stayed for the whole time, sleeping on the floor of one of the classrooms (well, it was actually 2 of the classrooms, men in one, women in the other). But, I have to sleep with the sleep apnea machine so I went home about 11PM. I went back in the early morning and stayed most of the day. Prayer was amazing! Music was wonderful, especially Kyle with his electro music (or whatever it's called). It energized me and lit me up! When the solemn assembly was over, I truly did not want to go home, I just wanted to stay there. This morning's service was really special, it felt as if the Lord was RIGHT THERE. Wow! I got the "heat" that comes with His coming and the words He gave me for the intercessory part of the time, were right on. I loved it.

Yesterday, when I went to my real estate office, there was birthday cake there for Dick. I was able to make the good choice to NOT eat the cake! Yea for me! I felt so good about it! Last night my prayers were more fervent and I felt as if God was right there with me. Double yea!

2011 Aug 4th Fast News

I began another "raw" fast on August 1st. I have been successful in doing this fast. Yea! I decided it's easier when there are less choices so I am just drinking my blender drink and not adding any other foods. It HAS been easier. Today is the fourth day and I've been able to stay on the fast all four days. This weekend, my church (International House of Prayer NW) is having a 24 hour prayer time from Friday at 7:30PM to Saturday @ 7:30PM. I will be there a good many hours so being able to just bring my blender drink along and run out to the car to take a few sips every now and then will be very convenient.
