2011 July Fast - 2nd day

Yea! I was able to resist all the cooked food that jumped out at me yesterday! Today will also be a test since I am going to the Pierce County Christian Singles' BBQ and picnic. However, I will be taking my own food (raw and organic of course) and so I pray that I can resist again. I always feel better when I eat this way, it's just hard to keep my head straight and RESIST cooked food! I think the addiction to cooked food is the hardest one to overcome. But, it's only for 17 days so that's not like the 40 day fasts I've done in the past.

New Fast!

I am part of the ATI (Awakening Teen Intensive)at International House of Prayer NW. It begins on July 17th. They have asked for us to fast and pray until then. It's interesting that the Lord has been impressing on me that I was supposed to fast, but I had no idea what it was for! I am beginning today with a "raw, organic" fast. I feel strong about my committment and am looking forward to the exciting spiritual benefits!
