Today is the third of twenty-one days of the Daniel Fast. Pastor Furtick asked all of his staff and any willing volunteers to join him in this biblical fast. No meat, no dairy, no preservatives, no bread.
Basically we can have unsalted nuts, fruit, vegetables, whole grain pasta, whole grain rice and whole grain tortillas. Monday I made vegetarian chili. Black beans, pinto beans, zucchini, squash, tomatoes and corn. It was SOOOO good. And tonight I made stuffed peppers. Whole grain pasta, onions, celery, mushrooms, garlic and organic vegetable broth. Again, DELICIOUS. My dad also grilled us up some eggplant with pepper, sea salt, and olive oil. Yum Yum Yummy. I was worried about being hungry, but I haven’t been hungry yet.
It’s been so much fun cooking stuff from scratch. Plus every night we read a chapter in John (there’s exatly 21 chapters, cool huh?) And there’s a big point we’re supposed to learn. The whole purpose of the fast is to learn about the Gospel in the book of John, and further a relationship with God. It’s been really cool. I was never really into reading the Bible, but lately I have been. I’ve been praying more often, too. Every time I go to eat something, I think about God and the reason I can’t just eat a candy bar.
Anyways, the recipes for what I’ve made so far are on here. I’m determined to keep experimenting with recipes. A whole new level of devotion to Christ. Love it!!!
