Lent and Fasting

This lent (Feb. 22-April 5) I will be fasting from several things. I am taking the time now to prepare for this fast. I will also keep a blog here about the effects of my fast on my mind, heart, spirit, and physical well being.

I am not doing this for the world to know about or to understand. I am doing this because I am a servant of Jesus.

Fasting from:

*Facebook

*'treatment'

*pills

*water/juice fast: for the duration of Lent I will be doing a juice fast during the weekdays and water fasts on the weekends.

*no phone contact on the weekend

*incorporating daily meditation and prayer (most important aspect of the fasting process, so that I might not lose sight of the reasons)

*no youtube, T.V. or movies

This is to glorify Christ...so I will be attending a Bible study, church, and group meetings weekly.

For the next week I will slowly start weaning myself off of whole foods and caffeine. I will slowly stop using facebook and other social media outlets, besides blogging.

I desire Christ and I desire a deeper relationship with Him. I also desire face time with real people, so I will not be isolating myself. I will be meeting with friends weekly to discuss life and other such things.

My life is a mess right now. I hope that this helps to detox my system of all my junk. I want simplicity.

This is the beginning.

Tomorrow begins the liquids fasting...with progression to juice and water fasting.
