Well…
I have successfully completed one week on the program! I’ve been waking up at 5:30 am every morning to have my time with Jesus before anyone else wakes up. I have followed the food plan meticulously. Well… not really. I messed up a couple of times and had a bit of cheese (at restaurants)… but I have definitely had no meat, no sugar, and no caffeine!
I am studying the book of Daniel (go figure!) each morning, plus reading one Proverb. In the afternoons I listen to podcasts, or watch messages online, and at night I am reading Beth Moore’s “Believing God”. Since Daniel took time out three times each day to study/meditate on God’s word, I am trying to follow his example there, also.
As far as results go, today is Day 8, and I have lost 6 pounds since I started. But that’s not the most impressive thing to me… it’s the closeness I feel to my Father… the intimacy that I felt was so long ago, is beginning to be rekindled. I know he’s speaking to me… and I am taking the time to listen. My prayer for a closer walk, and a steadfast faith, is being heard, and He is indulging… I know that’s not rocket science, but it’s big for me.
So, there you have it. Several of you asked me to keep you posted and I wanted to oblige. Also, please continue to pray for me. I am still facing challenges (of course) especially now, because the enemy wants anything BUT a victorious Susanne. Defeated Christ-followers are easy to keep on the sidelines… Victorious ones, well… they are dangerous.
My ultimate prayer throughout this experience is that I will become MORE DANGEROUS for My King!!
