The Daniel Fast
ok, I promised to be a better blogger and that clearly has not happened…oops! 
So, in efforts to try and regularly post, I thought I would blog a little bit about what Chris and I are doing right now. We decided to do “The Daniel Fast” for Lent this year. This means that our diet is pretty much vegan but also taking away: sugar, preservatives, leavened bread, white flour/rice…pretty much anything processed!
We started the journey last Wednesday and so far it’s been pretty interesting and fun! We are experimenting with different recipes and foods and really learning how much garbage is in the foods we usually eat (preservatives, sugar, and a bunch of other stuff we can’t pronounce!). One thing I also realized today is that usually when we buy fresh fruits and veggies they go bad SO FAST, now we are going to the grocery store every few days to restock because those are the things we are snacking on. I have really enjoyed the process thus far (although I know we have A LOT more days ahead of us…) but I am really excited to see how God reveals Himself to us in the next 6 weeks in this time of fasting leading up to Easter.
I think so often we get wrapped up in the busyness of life and forget to truly dwell on the reality of what it is we are celebrating. A God who sacrificed his only Son for our sins…that’s pretty heavy. My prayer during this time is that I can meditate on that truth and truly focus on what this season is about…not on mini-Cadbury eggs!
So, I’d love for you to follow our journey…I’ll share stories, experiences, recipes…whatever…hopefully this will help others who have considered trying the Daniel Fast as well!
