Yearly fasting report

Okay, so obviously I am not a very good blogger. It's been a year. I did other small fasts after my first post, but it's not something you really put out there for others much because it's between you and God. But I have just been so blessed by my meager involvement in the practice that I like encourage others to try it when I have opportunity. And there's nothing like starting out the New Year giving God your first and best, cleaning out other junk so to speak. To be honest and humble, I don't foresee doing a long fast ever again because of health reasons, but God is in charge of that. Now that I've done it, I'm actually more afraid of it then when I blindly obeyed the first time I heard God's whisper to do it. So I understand fearing it, whether you've ever done a day or a week or think I'm completely off my rocker. "Oh, I could never do that. I'd pass out from starvation, you know, my blood sugar and everything. I have to work you know." Ha. Granted, I do have a lifestyle (homeschooling mom of two) that lends itself to resting when the body demands it during fasting, but I did work part-time and attend to many other duties of life while fasting. Yeah, and there was dizziness and headaches and many other un-fun side effects, but the rewards...how can I convince you that the rewards of His presence are soooo worth it! Anyway, that's all for tonight. Here's to weekly/daily posts! Monday I begin a week of Daniel Fasting so I'm sure I'll have more to share soon.
