Daniel Fast: Week 1

My first week of this Daniel Fast has been wonderful.  Of course, I'm struggling to keep up with the early rising and morning walks due to some late nights and a head cold that came to visit at our home.  BUT, the time with the Lord has been essential to rebooting my wrongful habits and "life-rut".

That's my new term to describe what I've been living.  It's not a life-style...as that sounds like it should be productive, pleasing, attractive, fulfilling.  I've got a life-rut going on.  Slow, sluggish, lazy, cluttered, chaotic,stuck.  A life-rut.

But that is starting to change, and I'm so grateful. Right now, it's just this time of seeing it for what it is. Seeing what's causing it.  I'm praying in the weeks to come I'll keep learning how to change it so it move from "rut" to "style".  Style sounds so much better.

Here's my one week selfie.  The left is the start of the first week, the right is the start of the second week.

Not sure I'm seeing any huge difference, but I feel it. My clothes are looser, my energy is growing, my head is starting to clear, and I'm even starting to find some of that long lost motivation that is so helpful in accomplishing at least some of the never-ending list that stares at me each day.
