Daniel's fast

First time doing a Daniel's fast and it was not as bad as I thought. Course, I only did it for a week. But it was a learning and humbling experience. I came into the fast not knowing what to do or why I did it. But then I figured out that I just wanted to get closer to God. At the end of the week, I had a clearer complexion, I got to talk to God a lot more, even though it feels like I'm talking to myself a lot more.. and I got to understand Daniel. What a perfect time to do so since I'm in the Beth Moore's Daniel study. I thank God for this week. I'm also thankful for garlic salt. Note to self... Always have garlic salt on handy.
