Why You're All Here Today

I know that you're all interested in what four crazy women who love Jesus have to say. After all, you are here.

Right now is Transitional Time for us ladies. Each of us is fasting for different reasons, giving up different things, breaking different addictions; but we're all seeking the face of Jesus.

The fast that we're all doing is called The Daniel Fast, as referenced in Daniel, “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.” Daniel 10:2, 3

So we're going to do this fast for three whole weeks. In case you want to know, that's twenty-one days. Twenty-one days of sacrificing our favourite foods, coffee, and meat. In fact, there's an awful lot we can't have so we'll post what we can have instead:

->All fruits [dried, fresh, frozen, canned and juiced]
->All vegetables [fresh, frozen, dried, juiced or canned]
->All whole grains [including but not limited to whole wheat, brown rice, millet, quinoa, oats, barley, grits, whole wheat pasta, whole wheat tortillas, rice cakes and popcorn]
->All nuts and seeds [ncluding but not limited to sunflower seeds, cashews, peanuts, sesame. Also nut butters including peanut butter]
->All legumes [canned or dried]
->All quality oils [sesame, olive, canola, grape seed, etc]
->Water [spring, distilled, or other pure waters]
->Other: tofu, soy products, vinegar, seasonings, salt, herbs and spices

If you invite any of us to dinner, don't be surprised if we show up brown baggin' it. We're committed to seeing God show up in our lives.

All of us are going to post often during this time sharing prayers, revelations, recipes and encouragement. Every author is going to share her personal story; why she's fasting, what other things God is calling her to do right now [or for a time after the fast ends] and what she's asking God during this.

Most of all, we want change. We need God to be present in our circumstances. We are all pressing in to the cross, seeking Jesus and His healing power in our lives. Welcome to our journey!
