The Daniel Fast

Hello everyone!  It's so hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone already.  I hope you all had a marvelous one!  Me and my family for the past three years have been doing the Daniel Fast for 21 days every January.  It is a time for not just spiritual growth and refreshing, but also to get back on track for eating healthy, and cleaning out our bodies from all impurity's.

 We normally eat healthy foods, but when the holidays come around it's, let's say more challenging.  There are baked goods, and you just want to eat whatever you want.  So now it is time to say so long to all of the good tasting unhealthy for you foods.

 If you don't know what the Daniel Fast is, it's from the Bible when Daniel fasted for 21 days, if you would like to read about it is in the 10th chapter of the book of Daniel.  You eat only, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, water (drink), nuts and seeds, legumes, quality oils, tofu, salt, herbs, and spices.  So no sugar, meat, dairy, bread, beverages, solid fasts, and deep fried foods.

I am so glad to get back on track with eating healthy!  I love eating healthy, it not only tastes good but makes you feel good, to.  I normally read a lot this upcoming month, so below are some books I would like to.

  Here are some books I have on my list so far: Blessed Child by Ted Dekker and Bill Bright, Five Glass Slippers, The Priest by Francine Rivers, Prophet or The Visitation by Frank Peretti, The Beaches and Brides Romance Collection, An Ocean Away by Lisa Harris, Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson, Witness In Heaven by Gilbert Morris, Sons of Thunder by Susan May Warren, and Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.  I don't know if I will read all of those, but we shall see.

I hope you all have a happy New Years!  Cheers!
