The last week of the first month of the year can be a great time to re-evaluate goals you’ve set for the year, and check in on yourself to see if you are still focused on achieving what you’ve set out/committed to do. It is important to think regularly about the...

Day 21 – Daniel Fast
So, today is day 21... and this marks the end of my Daniel Fast. This evening I was spending time with some friends I reflected on how nice it felt to have made it 21 days, and as I shared about my experience I was reminded that the BIGGEST lesson that God has...
Day 20 – Daniel Fast
Ok... it’s day 20... yay!! I must say I’ve never seen 20 days go by slower... lol... Seriously! I typically say time flies, but these past 20 days have been going by at a bit of a snail pace. But THANK GOD... I made it!!! I am so happy to be in the 20’s...
Day 19 – Daniel Fast
So I was talking with a friend today, who shared that one of her friends mentioned/insinuated that the Daniel Fast wasn’t a legitimate fast, and basically not as good as fasting completely from all food. My friend and I both disagreed with that idea, and began...
Day 18 – Daniel Fast

Day 13 – Daniel Fast
It's 3:30pm on day 13 and the STRUGGLE IS ON!!! I was diving home from a meeting this afternoon, and I saw a man in the car beside me sipping ever so gracefully on his Tim Horton’s beverage (I imagined it was a large tea, 3 sugars and 2 milks... just how I like it)...
Day 12 – Daniel Fast
So things aren't getting any easier!! Thought by now I'd have the swing of things, and not be craving all the food I have restricted myself from having on the fast.... BUT NO!!! The cravings are still here! Alive and well! Is it frustrating? Yes, but should it be...
