21 Day Fast Starts Tomorrow

So today I was once again touched at churched and inspired to make moves spiritually.
watch it
FIRSTS was the subject. Last year I was inconsistent spiritually but this year I WILL be consumed. I have already started. But there are somethings I need to work on the first of the day and the first of the year.
1) At the first of the day: Seeking God first thing in the day. Believe me. When I wake up there are one of two things on my mind. Either pain or "OMG we are running late how fast can we get ready." From now on I will lift my heart to God and ask him to lead me. Where ever that prayer takes me at that moment that prayer will be the first thing I do.
2) At the first of the week: I do attend worship weekly and have been for the last month and a half to 2 months. I feel the change it is making in me and my life and I love it. I started serving at the following worship I attend as a greeter and love it too. Because I have learned we are suppose to worship, serve, tithe, and share the Lord. Being with people that love the Lord as I do make me feel great.
3) At the first of the month: Tithing was the third thing we are suppose to do. Tithe use to be so hard for me to do for a long time until I realized that the blessing of having a great job and a house and heat and a car and clothing and shoes and a tv and a bed and a couch and children that have insurance and that have clothes and a tv and a bed etc... etc... etc... etc... We are truly a spoiled nation, imagine all the people in other nations sleeping on soil, there neighbors only on the other side of a piece of cloth, you both have starving children and you are both waiting for the next drop of rice from the sky from a airplane only to stand in a line to give it to your staving child. Seems like too much right, but its not. Its a reality somewhere. Christ gave us our blessings, this money we make is not ours, its his, we are bringing it back to him. NOT TO HARD NOW HUH?
4) At the first of the year: Fasting, whether it be for 3 days, a week, 21 days from something you love, it has to reasonable. in the Bible Christ fasted for 40 days twice,.......WHAT???? I know right...
This is the only one I have not accomplished, I am doing it and not for a measly 3 days , 21 days, I am doing it to get closer to God, I am doing it for my health. I have to get better, I need a prayer, I need my neck healed, and Christ can do that. He made the blind see this neck thing I have going on is nothing. I have been questioning him and I need to get back in the palm of his hand again.
I am going to do the 21 day Daniel Fast which consist of all fruits and vegetables, fruit and vegetable juice and water, not meat or bread. I will probably be leaving more and more about it as I go but I imagine I will become a lot closer to my blog to so stay tuned.
