Day 1 was great. Out of bed at 5:15 to get ready to preach 4 times (without coffee). The services all went great and we were blessed.
Weight 216 lbs (In my first 40 day fast I lost 40 lbs)
I walked 1 mile and plan to do this every day if possible. (My favorite thing to do for stress relief, health, prayer time, fellowship)
I started reading the Bible through this morning with the first 3 chapters of Genesis.
I have more books picked out to read during these 40 days than I can possibly read but I started today with Mark Batterson’s new book “The Circle Maker”
Of course there have been no hunger pains today and to be honest very little desire to eat. As I was walking the thought crossed my mind that I really am sick of eating badly and over eating and paying good money for food that many times isn’t worth eating.
I am praying about where to give the money I will save by not eating these next few days. (God will show me the right place) This is the kind of fast that God desires.
The truth is, I love eating but I want more than anything else in the world to draw closer to God. I am excited…
I am really excited about all of the people who are fasting with me in some way. There are several, be encouraged.

amen Ronnie! I’m with you on the eating. Praying for you!
