FORTY THREE DAYS IN

It’s been 43 days now, and I don’t know how to describe the wonder of being at this point into the Daniel fast.  When I began it, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. What I do know is that I am feeling better than I’ve ever felt before.  The spiritual dynamic is beyond description, but first let me address the situation I left off with last week.  I appreciate everyone’s prayers for work. They worked!  Your prayers are what I coveted, not because I feared for anything, but because I know your prayers are strong.  It is your prayers that have enabled me to walk in peace throughout this week.  I hope and pray that no one felt I’d given up, as it was just the opposite.  Jesus is my refuge, my shelter, and my life, I could not be doing what I do if I didn’t trust him to provide. 

This past week was filled with exceptional times of revelation, and sweet times of communion.  I’ve learned so much, and am looking forward to what Christ is going to do this next week.  It is hard to believe that my goal is only one week away.  I can’t help but wonder what wondrous things are in store for this coming Pentecost. I only have one more personal request to be fulfilled, and only one request for our faith fellowship. I covet any prayers you may offer up on my behalf this week. 

So many good things happened this week, and I don’t know where to begin.  For brevity, let’s just say God is good! 

I’ve lost another five pounds, bringing me to 163 pounds.  I haven’t weighed 163 pounds since 1999.  You know, it would garner me so much sympathy if I could profess to be suffering for Jesus, but I can’t.  Actually I wish more people could’ve or would’ve joined with me in this if for no other reason than how healthy it would make them feel.  I know it’s a God thing because of how much I’ve learned, and enjoyed while doing this.  I don’t want to lecture, nor do I want to make anyone do any different than they are doing.  I will only say this:  My temperament is so much more level, my body is feeling so good. 

One very unusual thing happened this week.  Years ago I lost feeling in the skin on my upper left thigh.  Now I can feel it again.  A matter of fact my body seems to be more alive than ever before.  All glory to God!  

Join me next week for a report of what God has done, and a report of victory.  

Meanwhile, be blessed!
