2 Weeks of The Daniel Fast Completed

I signed in this morning to post, and thanks Mike for posting how you are doing. I have been through 14 days of the Daniel Fast, and it is incredible. I have talked to God more in the last two weeks than I did in the previous 2 months. That is why I love this and am glad we have a good group doing it. I hope this is right, and let me know if I am off, but I started Monday, May 4th, I believe Elizabeth re-started (haha) Wednesday, May 6th, Mike started Friday, May 8th, and Laura, Mikey G, and Mark started Monday, May 11th. So we are all over the board, but have a big group doing it, nonetheless. Hopefully Candace, Mistye, Erin, and Andy are prayer warrioring for us.

So I know I probably mentioned this in an e-mail earlier, but our theme verse for our week has resonated in my head the last two weeks. I am an eater, I love food. That is why I work out, so I can eat what I like. I am a meat eater, and love cheese and bread. So, this week, as I am craving those things and my body is screaming for them, I know it is just a selfish, flesh craving. I want "my portion" of these things. That is when I recite "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever." God is good, he will make us stronger through this. I have been reading Daniel, and if we have faith like Daniel, imagine the things we can do on our trip and beyond.

I hope you guys are doing well, you are an awesome group of people, and I can't wait to go on this trip with everyone. I can't believe it is only 2 months away. Our next meeting is two weeks from yesterday, Sunday, May 31st. That will be the last day of some of you guys' fast, so if everyone is interested, we can do a night meeting and break it together with dinner. Just a thought. E-mail me and let me know your thoughts.

God bless you guys, and let us know how you are doing.
