Fasting Day One

Well Tim and I have started our fast, the fast we are participating in is the Daniel Fast, and we are committed to twenty one days. Who knows maybe we will do it longer, time will tell.

So far on day one we started out reading the first two chapters of Daniel.  We went to church, had wonderful worship and then amazing teaching,as usual from Pastor Don. 

We are so blessed by the Pastors and their wives at Harvest Chapel.   And this past weekend we came way, way to close to losing two of our Pastors and two of our regional Pastors.  The four of them were on their way to hear Pastor T. D. Jakes; and they had to travel on 695 around Washington DC, and a young women hit the cement block that they put on the highways to direct traffic at on and off ramps, and she then bounced off and hit the car that our Pastors were all in and made the car completely un-drive-able.  To see the pictures of the car, it was definitely the hand of God that just covered them and protected them so completely.  Our God is so good!  Wouldn't you agree?  Oh and just to let you know they are all up and walking around,they are all a little banged around and sore, but they are good. So thank you Heavenly Father for the wondrous blessings that you have placed on these four wonderful teachers.  Thank you God for protecting them.

Now back to fasting, well this morning I packed up Tim's lunch, he has the following: one whole wheat tortilla that I heated thru and then spread with all natural and unsweetened peanut butter. He also has a container of frozen fruit, in another container he has a cut up pear, he has two clementines and a bottle of white grape juice and a can of V8 fusion fruit and vegetable juice ( not the kind that has caffeine and sugar).  I am not totally sure what I will have to eat today but it will be within the limits of the Daniel Fast. I have also just read the third chapter of Daniel, this is an interesting chapter...from verse 25 thru verse 45 Sidrach, Misach, and Abdengo spend all these verses in praise and worship of the Lord, now I am not going to tell you what else goes on in this chapter, because I would really like you to read this chapter and see what else happens and I will address it tomorrow.

In case anyone out there may want to visit our church, please feel welcomed and come.  The church is located on Route 30 between Abbots town and Cross Keys, in Pennsylvania.

Now I really pray that you will find someone today to share God's greatness with today.
