Resurrection Life Church is participating with over 700 other churches registered to participate in Awakening, an event to devote the first 21 days of the new year, 2011, to fasting and prayer. This blog is a journal to share the experiences of Laura C with this fast and, hopefully, to be an encouragement to those journeying with me. This is meant to be a place to share experiences as we die to ourselves and live for God.

Day 2
Two things stand out to me about Day Two. The first is really strange. I feel extremely full while eating my vegetables, but it wears off quickly. The second thing I've noticed is a result of the first. The Daniel fast is beginning to feel like the half fast it is and not a diet because I am usually slightly hungry. I was especially hungry at work today as I worked this particularly physical job. It was not a painful, wrenching hunger, but I still heard my stomach grumble this morning. As I waited for lunch-hour, time passed by as sluggishly as I felt. On the positive side, a sweet sense of satisfaction came over me when I sat down to eat, knowing I had resisted till then. It's a pleasant thing to battle King Stomach and win. But tomorrow, the real test begins.
