Today is day negative one, or one day before our Church, and I myself begin our 21 day fast. We are asking the church to participate a corporate "Daniel" fast. Of course they are welcome to participate to any extent they are able. Some will choose to abstain from food all together, myself included.
On the day before we embark on the journey I find myself antsy and ready to begin, but all things in due time. Perhaps I am just ready to see what God will do over the course of the next 3 weeks. A couple of weeks ago I went on an overnight hike with a handful of friends of mine. We hiked a trail that I had never been on before. I found myself intensely curious of what was around each new bend in the trail. Would it be an easy level section of trail, or a calf-burning ascent? Whichever it was I was hungry for the new scenery. Hungry to move deeper into the woods.
I feel this fast has the potential to be the same. New things around each corner. Some difficult and some not so. However all of it for the purpose of driving on deeper into my relationship with God.
One of the goals I have within this time is to keep an online blog/journal of my experiences. No holds barred. I don't want to glamorize it for any readers. I want to produce a pure truthful account of my next 21 days. Ups and downs, easy and hard, you are invited to walk it all with me.
Ok here we go.
