Purple

Today I feel weak. I am doing a "Daniel" fast. Essentially it is veggies and fruit. Mostly raw. I did cook the yams and the squash I had yesterday. And I am having a bit of salt and a daily cup-o-joe. Surprisingly, I do not feel hungry. I am doing this by choice, for health....... of my spirit. The physical, cleansing benefits are secondary to a purified soul. The discipline it takes to be aware and limit food intake is astonishing. If nothing else I am gaining, again, mental strength to tell myself no. I made a decision and I am sticking by it. Discomfort is not going to control my choices.

When I fast I feel life at a new level. It's as if my senses are super-charged. Many times it is a time of challenge. I feel small. Overwhelmed. Grateful. Humbled to be part of my life. Inspired to go after what I want. What God has for me.

My purpose for this fast is to consecrate myself. I want to hear. I want to walk in wisdom. I want the next level of maturity. And the responsibility that comes with it. I am ready to clothe my family in purple.
