May 31st Fast

Well, here we are to another month! I decided to start my monthly fast a day early since I have many appointments tomorrow. Basically, it's more convenient to be near my bathroom on the first day of a fast since I spend so much time there the first day. :) By the second day, my body has usually flushed (pun intended) enough that I'm no longer spending so much time there. I have my water all portioned out for today and will probably be drinking twice as much as usual this first day. I seem to be very thirsty this time. My plan is to water fast for 3 days and then do the 80/10/10 for about a week after that.

May 2, 2010

I water fasted yesterday because it was the first of the month. It was easy because I was at IHOP NW and involved with the Corey Russel conference so I was thinking about Godly things and not about hunger. Great conference, very deep!

May 1st

Well, it's May 1st and Paster Gary Weins said that IHOP NW is encouraging everyone to fast on the first of every month so I'm going to fast. My stomach is already growling and it's only 8AM so I'm sure this will be opposed. However, God is GREATER!
