I'm fasting. I started yesterday. I will try not to make this blog be about my fast, although I'm sure I'll have some things to share if I make it the full 40 days. I wanted to do this for a few reasons:
1) I've never done this before (40 days)
2) My home church in Carlisle is bringing over 20 people here to Guatemala in 40 days, and I wanted to pray for them by name each day. Maybe some of them will join me?
3) I want to learn to listen to God more effectively.
4) I wanted a challenge.
5) I want to lose a few pounds.
I think some of those reasons are good and healthy, and right...some, not so much. Some of my reasons for doing it are coming more from my human nature.
But I'm sure those will be cleared up in 40 days.
40 days!
This is my second day, and I already feel a little lost.
Have any of you done this before?

I've never done a 40 day fast. What precisely are you doing? Bread and water? Juice only? I know people do different things and all call it 'fasting'.
Make sure you blog about it everyday, it will help.
I am fasting of food. No food. Only liquids.
