Month: January 2007

The fast is going well so far. It’s a wierd feeling to have a full stomach and still feel hungry. We rode 45 minutes last night and I felt strong. My speed was up and I covered more ground, so to speak, than I have so far.

The biggest thing I’m noticing so far is I am so angry. It has always been laying just beneath the surface but I’m really noticing it now. I am mad at the way people drive and mad at the dog and mad at the tv. One of my goals for this fast is that I would find any bitterness in me. I think I’m on that path. I welcome it so I can root it out and be healed.

I am holding out hope for a new bike this year. Hayden wants to ride with us so that means I get a new bike. If he decides he wants to ride more I will get him one and use mine for the trainer. That or I may just get him a Trek 1000. I really want the Specialized Allez Expert. So I keep hoping and dreaming. I have to get through tax season first.

Our Sr. Pastor has called for a 21 day fast for direction in the new year.

So KJ and I discussed how we could participate in a way that we could succeed. we decided to do the Daniel fast which is really a diet of raw fruit veggies and nuts. We are on day 3 and going pretty well.

We have been on the trainer now twice and KJ is doing great. Actually better than me. The last time we rode, about 20 minutes into it I was ready to quit but she was looking very strong and really good in those biking shorts if I may say.

I will try to post updates on the fast and how we are doing on our goals for the 21 days. God is so faithful and I am looking forward to great times of revelation and fellowship.

I hope you are having a great start to 2007.
