Today is the 1st day of my church's Daniel Fast, aka Fast of the Chosen. We are NOT eating red meat, partaking in strong drinks( caffeine, wine etc..)no sugars and I added for me no fried foods. I've chosen to fast from indulging in Facebook and Shopping(ummm, after I put my birthday gift on lay away at the Consignment shop tonite..Hahahahahaa)
I woke up so excited because I konw this is going to be an awesome 21 days for me. I'm focused and I'm expecting God to do some wonderful things on my behalf( and the people closest to me, because once the showers of blessings began to rain on me, I KNOW it will touch others).
Thus far it's been a great day. I've been focused, talked with God and just been happy. We have this song we've been singing at church," I see a window over your head and its pouring out Blessings, blessings, blessings...."
Up until 3pm when my drop in kids arrived to "KISS"( my business located in Sandy Springs Ga, kid inspired sitter services) I had no thoughts to eat anything sweet. I've had 2 apples, lemon water(almost a gallon) and cereal all day.. These little people, "Ms. Neka did you remember you said you'd bake us cookies"? Ummm, no I didn't remember that!! However, I baked the cookies anyway. When I say those cookies smelled good, man!! And I don't even care for SUGAR cookies( go figure). All, I keep hearing," Eat a cookie Nek, nobody's watching, the kids don't know that you're Fasting".. In the words of Ike Turner, "Eat the cake( cookie) Anna Mae".
Well, Neka Mae did not give in. I shall not loose. I'm extremely focused and I know if I stay focused, keep a prayer in my heart and keep striving, the outcome is going to be more than I could EVER hope for. Trust me, I'm going hard.. I'm off the porch and I'm running. I'm to talented to be broke and to determined to FAIL.. It's not in my blood, its NOT an option..
Eat the cookie Anna Mae? Nah, I'll pass and it felt good!
