Reaching the Finish Line

Ok...six and a half weeks later, the Daniel Fast is almost over! I honestly cannot believe that its been this long and that I've actually made it!!! God has been so faithful in His provisions throughout this fast, I have been so blessed by what I have received from Him throughout. It will probably take me a while to really come to any sort of conclusion as to what I am taking out of this time, but I know that God has been doing some amazing work in my life and as soon as I can put in into words, I will certainly let you know. While the food has definitely been a big part of this experience, I don't think that it has been the biggest thing that I will remember. One of the things that I do know for certain is that God's love and grace have never been more real. While I have always known that it is there and that it is a part of my life, I also know that I've never really felt it in this way before. The impact that words have had on me in the past month and a half is astounding, and something that I would have never imagined before embarking on this journey with my God. When I spend time in worship, I am struck by what these songs are actually saying and how their meaning translates into my life. I know that I'm not really describing this very well, but I hope that one day I will be able to express this in a way that seems satisfactory in relation to what I am feeling about what has happened during this fast. Praise God for all He is and all He has done!!!
