Daniel Fast, Day 5, 6, & 7

The week slipped by, so I thought I would give a couple of hightpoints.

Day 5:  Working in a kitchen puts a little stress on the Fast.  Not so much wanting to eat, but having to taste the foods that I create.  So, I find myself tasting the meatless and breadless products; while, Kelly takes care of all the other foods.   I have to say smelling fresh bread all day was a little unnerving, but I made it through. 

The highlight was doing the recommended family reading, week 1, with my daughter, Hebrews 11.  Not only does God give me strength but the honesty, passion, and emotion that my daughter has helps to give me strength.  We talked about Faith. Her questions were….1. Do you hear God talk to you and how?  How do you know that you have faith?   It’s a moment that I will remember for a long time.   How did I answer?  That is between me and my daughter:) 

Day 6:  Today I prepped for a Dinner Party for 9 people, including myself.  Menu included:  Steak, homegrown in Nebraska, Baked Potatoes, Sweet corn with broccoli, & red peppers, Roasted Carrots with thyme & garlic, & Focaccia Bread.  Dessert included a variety of chocolates and apples wrapped in sinful caramel, chocolate, nuts, & everything else decadent.  I won’t even go into the variety of libations & appetizers.  It was a great night meeting new people and enjoying great food. 

Through it all I followed the fast.  Mark  I read devotions together today.  The strength I gain comes from the support I have.

Day 7:  It was too cold to go outside, in my opinion.  A nice day for a nap, movie, & playing cards with the family.  Chinese stir fry and bean enchiladas and fruit got me through the day.  Spent time reviewing Daniel and looking forward to the new week.
