Re: 18 day fast unto the Lord

Wonderful job! As a seasoned faster you knew to listen to your body as I don't think many do so when they have a predetermined number in mind. Eighteen days on just water alone is a feat so few would attempt never mind accomplish... Oh, I have been an avid faster myself and have read many of your posts on the water fasting forum and wish to tell you how extremely informative and encouraging they have been. Your contributions there have been invaluable to me and you are sorely missed as my "fasting go to person"!

Hi eggcream and thank you for your always kind words :). I haven't invested the time to keep up in the water-only forum, but you are always welcome to message me... and of course there are several very knowledgeable and helpful people over there and i know that you, yourself, have become quite wise in this area :). 

... so again great job and hope the spiritual floodgates open!

Thank you and so far so good :). My love for the LORD has indeed become even stronger and the tears of joy which accompany this when i close my eyes to seek HIM have become even more easily triggered which to me is a very welcome development.   

I believe a water fast has been calling me but am finding it difficult to get into that extended fast "groove" again.
Never having had that problem before, I'm perplexed! I usually can fall into a long fast with just the desire to do so, but have been experiencing struggle and resistance after just a couple of days. Long fasts have always produced positive results so I can't fathom this blockade. I'm not one to "force" my body but maybe this is what's needed.

I am perplexed for you as well my friend.  It does seem that fighting hard against this resistance may be necessary at least to get you past a certain point. 

Much joy on your refeeding, I know it is like a little bit of heaven to savor the flavors of our favorite foods. So enjoy!

Thank you eggcream.  Post-fast eating really is an amazing  delight!  Thank you again and many blessings to you.
