Starting January 3, I will be embark on a 5 day water fast as well as a 10 day fast from facebook. Today is TECHNICALLY the 3rd even though it 12:02 am, but I'm still gona write another post, so lets just call this the pre-day 1 post. The water fast is something I've always wanted to do, and I feel like with the beginning of the year, this is a perfect time to really zero in on God. I'm currently reading "A Purpose Driven Life" and I am just yearning for that renewal of the mind, and that fervent thirst and hunger for God. I just want God to re-ignite my passion for him, and what better way to seek his face and truly focus on God but by fasting. I would do a juice fast, but considering that I don't own a juicer, and every other fast is so easy i.e. not eating meat (I don't really) etc. I know something like no food for 24 hrs sounds painful to me. Sigh, yes i said it, i love food, I LOOOOOVEE food, and sometimes i over do it with food. Emotional eater? yes, unfortunately that's me.
Anyway, I plan to document this journey everyday. The facebook fast was incited by a friend who is doing it till the 12th. So I said hey why not cut out that distraction as well. Ahhh this is truly a test. So what I'm I going to do with that free time? Weeeell:
1. My daily Bible reading
2. Purpose Driven Life
3. Pray Your Way to Breakthrough (book of prayers)
4. B-1 bible reading (my family group)
5. Meditation and re-evaluation of self and activities
That's what I have so far. I actually have a cold right now, so maybe this cold will disappear as well. Hopefully.
Anyway that's it. Ciao!
