Fasting: Day 1

Facebook:
Today I had my password changed to ensure success
Food:
I decided to try to eat only 3/4 of what I normally eat for breakfast and lunch (and a normal dinner) and to deny myself the foods that I normally could spend all day thinking about for comfort and pleasure. Fasting food is gradual and you have to ease into it.
Fashion:
I wore some holister sweatpants, a zip up hoodie, tennis shoes, and no accessories (this is not my style, I felt plain and not cute).

The results:
1. I can already feel bondage being lifted and freedom being had.
2. I surprisingly do not miss facebook at all and feel free from the bondage it brought to my life.
3. I can already begin to taste the sweet fellowship with my Lover.
4. I feel a meekness and humbleness welling up ever so slightly in my heart, that “Me Last” spirit that is Supernatural and unexplainable.
5. I can begin to feel and hear the Spirit flow out of me once more in prayer, unquenched.
6. I can begin to see a small glimpse of His face once more. The scales are falling off.
7. My agenda and desires and slowly dropping to the floor, willingly and eagerly as my eyes are fixed on his sweetness
8. I don’t find my identity in the cloths that I am wearing because I don’t like the cloths that I am wearing.
9. I still feel self conscious about looking below my own fashion standards.
10. I still feel a tremendous lack of trust in the Lord’s willingness to provide for my life.

I feel like mary sitting at His feet: waiting, listening, not saying a word.

Ultimately I feel that this first day is creating the necessary space in my agenda and in my heart to enter into a deeper fellowship with Him in the next days to come.
