We are living in interesting times right now. Life as we know it has really taken a turn with the spread of the dread Coronavirus which has the world talking and in turmoil. Like most people, I am concerned about the effect this is having - directly or indirectly to my family, community, economy, work etc. It seems that everyday things are getting worse. However, I choose to keep living - yes- I am living!! I am not allowing fear to control me or my family to the point that we are unable t[...]
If you've been on my instastories, you will know that I have been posting what I've been eating over the last 10 days on on the fast. So far, I'm not craving anything in particular, I haven't given in to any temptations and my body is feeling great. Remember that the Daniel Fast is a spiritual fast and not a diet. Sure, there are health benefits but that should not be the primary focus. It requires intentional times for prayer, worship and bible study. "A diet may change the way you look, but[...]
Am I too late to wish you a happy new year? I hope not! I hope you had a lovely Christmas break and that you spent it with those you love. Also, thank you for joining me in 2019. If I'm very honest, I didn't think I'd still be here. I thought this would be one of those things that I would give up a long time ago, and while I could do better in terms of consistency, I am proud that I have kept it going. So it's one week into the new year. Do you have some resolutions, or have you set int[...]
I was going to write a different post - but here we are! It was time for a journal. If you saw my instagram post from yesterday, you had a sneak preview to what my week has been like. I've been down this road many times and at different stages of life and I've officially had it! At the ripe 'old' age of 35, I'm still finding it a challenge to love myself, to be kind to myself, to treat myself, to be proud of my achievements....the list goes on. If you are familiar with personality types I'm a[...]
We are 3 weeks into fasting and prayer and it's been great. It's not been without challenges, but we feel strengthened. Are you fasting? How has it been for you? This post has been difficult to write. I started on Saturday... This week my spirit was more heightened to what was happening particularly with 'new age' messaging. I know this has been creeping in over the past, and now more than ever Christians have started to incorporate 'new age' teaching in their daily lives. It's everywhere[...]
Welcome back! I hope you had a lovely week. This is my second journal following week 2 of the fast. I've been physically fine - very few cravings this time. I didn't meal prep though, but managed to stay on track. I also managed to incorporate some exercise (PIYO) on top of my usual 80 minute walk (needs must - I don't drive and need to do the school run). My body feels great and 'light'. I feel very well. My emotional and spiritual experience has been more difficult though. For the most part I[...]
As you know My husband and I have been on the Daniel Fast sine 1 January. I can say that it hasn't been easy - particularly on the food front. I have had every sort of craving under the sun - even for things I haven't eaten in a while like goat meat! Yes - goat!!! I also admit that I had good intentions in making some popcorn for the family - and I kinda ate the whole bag by myself - not my finest hour that one! My poor husband came downstairs having being lured by the smell - only to find an em[...]
