HELP! I Need Your Input

Remember my 21 day fast??  Well, I want to share with you how that went.  This is day 21.  Do you know I did not hunger or want?  That was so bizarre to me.  I gave up all solid food.  I had liquids and some smoothie beverage, but no food at all.  Oddly enough, I did not feel hungry or deprived.  I always feel that way when I diet.  I am hungry and feel like I am doing without.  Not with this.  I was very focused on the desire to hunger for God's heart.  Hunger for God's blessing.  Hunger to be a better person.  My only weakness was on day 7.  I had some medicine I took and forgot about the fast...it made me very woozy to say the least.  Quite an experience for us all.  I learned my lesson fast, no pun intended, not to take that medicine; or watch carefully the amount and my activities, if I had to.

Here is where I need your help.  On day 14 of the 21 days I had to discontinue the fast.  I had to go to some one's home and stay for the week.  That explaining and re-explaining my not eating and the reason behind it, would have (for me) nullified my goal.  I was much better off to be quiet about what I was doing, rather than argue the point.  That would not make me a better person or purify my heart, which was my ultimate goal.  I want to focus on purifying myself and searching my heart for how I can be a better person.  How I can do more as one part of the body of Christ, to improve the overall body; to bring Glory to God.

Do you feel I should have gone through with the last 7 days and argued the point in my different surroundings?  Or do you think I should have stopped the fast, been quiet and cooperative in an other's home and left my personal goal behind?  Truly I want your thoughts.  Thank you.  Mary

21 Days to Pentecost



On the day of pentecost the holy spirit changed the church, which can change the world. I start with me; day two fasting and praying. I will do my best to have a pure heart and pray for our church. Our God is not in confusion, right fighting or intimidation. HE thrives in clear Holy discipleship driven, not for one's own agenda, but for HIS Kingdom to come.
