I have been thinking about my desire to fast for the 40 days of lent and I have reconsidered the juice fasting aspect. I am not in the best health to be doing a 40 day juice fast. I also think that for me a juice fast would not be an act of honoring God b/c I would make it about me.
New Fast:
*refraining from Facebook
*keep a daily journal, meditating, and praying
*fasting from willfulness--I tend to be a willful person, meaning that I go with what I want and what I say, so the idea is that I will rely on God rather than my own will.
*fasting from self destructive coping mechanisms--this is just to say that for the next 40 days I want to do my best to take care of my bodily health, mentally, emotionally, and physically.
I think that this list is more along the lines of things that I have heard God speaking into my life. Right now, I have begun to develop the habit of praying and reading His word daily. I have also started to journal again. I good word for the next 40 days is simplicity.
May God guide me and all those who seek Him.
