Week 13

3.26.13-4.1.13

I started reading and by verse 12, I knew this was my answer to “now what?”

Verse 12 reads, “‘Test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,’ Daniel said.” (Daniel 1:12)

Really??? I thought. (These were the days before “the Daniel fast” was written as a lifestyle book!)

Karah, you are who asked, He whispered.

His letting me know with such gifted clarity made it so absolutely easy to venture on with this ten day journey. I considered it all so interesting, I’ve never done anything like this before. His Spirit within me had already supplied the peace and confidence to let these ten set-apart days be a gift.

I went over to the fridge and accessed what veggies I had and started thinking about what my schedule held. I had a work trip coming up when meals would be out of my control, it’ll be okay, I’ll eat out of a baggie if I have to. I am a mother needing to prepare food for our flock, all’s well, I’ll set myself apart, and ALL WILL BE GOOD!
