The start of something special!

Something begins today that I have planned and waited on for months. I made the decision back in May that I would go through a fast the month before our baby boy is born. I chose to do a "Daniel" fast. This fast is based on the fast that Daniel did in the book of Daniel 10:2,3. It states that Daniel deprived himself of any "pleasant" thing to eat for 21 days. The fast consists of only eating fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and only natural things. You cannot have meat, dairy, sugars, white flour, and anything that has preservatives. The verse also states that he did not bath for 21 days, but I'm not sure anyone in my life would be thrilled with that.

I decided to start this blog for several reasons.

1. I want accountability.

2. I want to share what God speaks to me and does in my life during this time.

3. To encourage people to join me. In this day and age, we are looking for the quick bailout, a miracle fix. A fast with a set start and end date, will focus an individual to wait and allow God to work in the areas of ones that need to be worked on the most.

I am excited to get started and share with you all that I experience over the next 21 days. My desire is to be spiritually, emotionally, mentally, and physically prepared to be the best father I can be.

Talk to you tomorrow.
