No Weapon....

This is it! My fast is over. For 21 days I have eaten no meat, dairy, eggs, processed foods, sugar, coffee. I have learned to love all over again different fruits and veggies and all sorts of beans. I feel so much better. I have sought the Lord, and He has has answered me, He has given me a new direction. He has increased my faith ten-fold. I know that although circumstances may not change, I have changed. And by me changing, my circumstances change. No matter what the problem is, no matter how impossible things or situations seem in the natural, I know that supernaturally, God is in control. He is still on the throne. How Great is our God!

What began as a prayer for our children, became a time of introspection for me. It became a time for healing some hurts that I had shoved deep inside. During this time, I came to realize that God's blessings, the blood of Jesus, was meant for me too, in spite of my sins. I started to understand what a great gift we have been given, how much God loves us and wants what's best for us, if we stay obedient to His Word.

Training during this time was somewhat difficult, I was a little behind in my calories on some days, probably didn't get enough protein the other days. But I have started to cleanse my diet of unhealthy foods, and try new things. I joined a farm co-op which will bring me fresh vegetables that are in season.

I also have gotten the clarity I need on some issues...No weapon formed against me, shall prosper. Isaiah 54:18
