Our entire family did the fast and my kids favorite thing was potatoes cooked in olive oil and I would add green pepper, onion and mushrooms. WOW -50 days, our 21 days went quickly and I was not too hungry but noticed we ate more often. God will do great things as you honor Him during this time of fasting. I posted an interesting post on "THE DANGERS OF HUNGER" you might want to check that post out. It talks about day 42 after Jesus fasted, or in your case day 51.LAURIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486313421145067150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-77111463016918728432008-03-28T15:44:00.000-04:002008-03-28T15:44:00.000-04:00Whoopsie!

I meant to say 50 day - from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday (May 11th) Sorry. Yes, it's a Daniel Fast. I know he fasted for 21 days - dh and I normally extend it to 50 because we like to do the Easter to Pentecost thing but we do fruits and veggies only.Dr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-69935003581057210042008-03-28T15:41:00.000-04:002008-03-28T15:41:00.000-04:00Yes, we are doing the Daniel Fast.

I know some people do it with grains too (I have read a great blog recently where the lady said she adds grains) but Larry and I never do - we just do the fruit and veg. If you have any creative recipe ideas, let me know. Last night I had a baked sweet potato for dinner. Yum, it was so good. I felt full, which is a difficult thing on this - you don't feel too filled up dependent upon what you eat. I really like cooked carrots and asparagus and all that but when I eat them (or the spinach - which I love!) I feel like I'm hungry again in short order.Dr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-60179130480838868262008-03-28T15:09:00.000-04:002008-03-28T15:09:00.000-04:00Deanna,Are you doing the Daniel fast?

It is amazing what "creative" dishes we came up with. Good luck with that whole GRITS thing. I was born a northern girl and transpanted in the south and I have never learned to like Grits. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>God Bless.LAURIEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486313421145067150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-50156117496323063382008-03-28T10:37:00.000-04:002008-03-28T10:37:00.000-04:00Throw some fresh spinach in with frozen blueberrie...Throw some fresh spinach in with frozen blueberries and a banana...and you'll have a great smoothie...super healthy...and I promise...that you won't taste the spinach :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330033113168391799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-70783920647381217722008-03-28T09:16:00.000-04:002008-03-28T09:16:00.000-04:00Thanks Sharon, that is awesome! So funny!The firs...Thanks Sharon, that is awesome! So funny!<BR/><BR/>The first day of the fast I was worshipping the Lord in my office and He gave me this word that I wrote down and shared with the church:<BR/><BR/>Listen. Listen closely to me as never before. Take time to sit each day in a few moments of silence and just listen for my voice. I will use this time - these 50 days - to draw you into such clarity about all things. But more than that I will use it as a time to draw you to my side. So close - so extraordinarily close. My presence and power in this season will be absolutely amazing. You have no clue what you are in for! You personally are believing for souls, healing, growth, signs, wonders and miracles. But the truth is, you do not truly realize what I CAN and WILL do for a people who have their hearts set on me and will back it up with their daily disciplines. You have walked the road of fasting before - and you have journeyed in prayer. However, this is DIFFERENT. This is unique, if for no other reason that so many are joining you in unity of purpose. I will do a new thing. Much that need to go will be dropped and some new things added. I will do what only I can do, but more than anything I will be close to you.Dr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-42934496596254465852008-03-28T09:10:00.000-04:002008-03-28T09:10:00.000-04:00I had to laugh at your title.

I found a sound clip of Flo saying that at:<BR/><BR/>http://www.geocities.com/classics4ever/alice/sounds/sounds/flo2.wav<BR/><BR/>:0) I'm sure God will reveal things to you during your fast. If they are things that you can share, I will very much be looking forward to reading them! :0)<BR/><BR/>Have a super-de-dooper weekend! ~Sharon~Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18148815788160643397noreply@blogger.com
