Day 4: No picture of my juice this afternoon because I finished it before I remembered to take a pic. So, I'll give a little info to all who have contacted me about what I am doing.
WHAT?
Right now, I'm doing a juice fast using organic vegetables and fruits that I juice at home. I may add smoothies too since your fruits and veggies last longer when making smoothies. But, we'll see.
WHY?
Well, basically, "I WANT TO LIVE!" The Lord has been speaking to me about my health, and I really want to reverse these side effects that I have due to long Covid and my own body abuse. Last Tuesday at Society Church LV, our Pastor taught such a powerful lesson that hit on addictions, and it was the launching of my obedience. I heard the Lord say, "Start Now!" I went to Sprouts that night and asked the Lord to direct me on what to get, went home and found my old juicer and cleaned it, and here we are! I want to add that in addition to my obedience, my heart's desire is to draw closer to the Lord, and be a vessel of honor to HIM.
HOW LONG?
I have no idea. It will be a minimum of 10 days, but may go longer, or I may add solid fruits and veggies along with my juice and smoothies. I'm really just following the leading of the Holy Spirit. My birthday gift to myself is to be fasting with the Lord. (Ya'll keep a sister in prayer...I have two catering events to work this week. Whew!)
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
I feel really good. The first couple of days were rough, but now I look forward to juicing and spending time with the Lord. Friday was hard because that's usually when my roommate and I order food, have snacks and watch movies. Last night, I wanted sweets but had a small glass of watermelon juice instead. It's a process!
I also get sleepy earlier, which is good for me as I used to stay up all night and would just be going to sleep when the sun came up.
Well, that's it for now. I have a final paper to do before the semester ends on Tuesday!! Y'all have a fabulous and blessed weekend!!
