Day One

well, it's day one of the fast, and while i'm not too far into it, i thought i'd blog incase i just pass out tonight when i get home. i went grocery shopping today to get acceptable food which is a lot of healthy food. this will probably the healthiest 21days of eating i've ever done...lol
i'm tired, but i'm not sure if that's bc i haven't had sugar or caffiene, or if it's bc i had a sick child in bed w/me last night. asher was running a fever, so i brought him in w/me to keep an eye on him. his fever broke mid night but he doesn't lay still to save his life! :)
anyways, i'm starting on the daniel's fast so i do water, juice, fruits, veggies, nuts, and grains. i'm hoping since i have some food that i'll be able to make it the full 21days, but my goal is at least 10days on the daniel's fast. i might switch to the comfort fast for the last stretch...we'll see.
i have given up secular music during this time period, but not as a comfort fast. i think everything needs to be God centered right now, and i'm trying to have that affect every part of my daily life.
so, my main prayer for this time is just that God will give me direction. i'm praying for the man God has out there for me as a future husband that He will lead me to him. i'm praying in regards to what to do w/my work situation. i'm praying that a more affordable place to live will be found in the next 2mos. i'm praying that God's hand will just touch my life and that He will open my eyes to the plans He has for me. is that asking to much? i hope not bc that's my prayer!

not too much to ask:) We just have to remember that we can be impatient and want things to happen NOW so we can plan and feel at ease about the future, and that's not how God works. I'm where you are at Holly, on praying for wisdom and guidance in the direction that He will lead us in, and for my impatience as it all unfolds. :) Isn't it so awesome to see how things fallinto place when we are seeking Him? We are so much more aware of all He gives us...
