First Day of the Daniel Fast

First day of this years fast .... my husband and I are doing this fast for the third consecutive year. This day has really been a blessing for me. I started my day with having orange juice and rice cakes with peanut butter, then I went to church. On my way over there, I had green lights all the way. No cars were coming as I turned out on the main road either. 4 blessings in a row. At church the message was about not quitting and I met some new people from different walks of life with that in common that we all want to grow closer to our Creator.

The afternoon was spent driving the beautiful countryside outside of Nashville. The sun was shining and coloring the ridges and fields golden yellow. A blessing as well.

For dinner I cooked a tomato and mushroom sauce and had that on whole wheat spaghetti. It is a very easy meal to fix. I brown chopped onions, a clove of chopped garlic and chopped mushrooms in olive oil. Season with salt and black pepper. Pour a can of diced tomatoes on there and simmer while the pasta is cooking. Add Italian seasoning and then it's yum-yum time. Another blessing.

This was the first day of 21. Looking forward to the rest!
