Joe and I are currently doing a "partial fast". We bought a book entitled "The Daniel Fast" and have been fasting for almost two weeks now! We are eating fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains and drinking only water. We are not eating any sugar, dairy, meat, fruit juices, caffeine or highly processed foods. No coffee or tea.
The first week was tough, we both had headaches that lasted about three days. Once we got all of the sugar, caffeine and chemicals out of our systems we have felt really great. I have had a lot of energy and we have both been sleeping really well!
The main benefit has been the time of prayer that I have been involved in. I have prayed for many, many people and have had meaningful conversations with my Creator/Healer/Father/Savior. It has been such a wonderful time of fellowship with my God!
We are about to begin our third, and last, week and I have mixed feelings! I hope to continue to pray faithfully and bring everything I have to the Lord when we finish this time of fasting.
I really want 4 Double Stuf Oreos and a glass of milk.
