Re: Journey 3/4 Complete....Day 30

Ray:
WOW! You've totally inspired me! I've heard of people going 30 or so days but not 40. Being a follower of Christ, I wondered about the signficance of your 40-day fast. Spiritually speaking, what have you experienced in your journey? What was it that you were trying to accomplish or seek? Hope you don't mind me asking, I just find it amazing the strength you have and were given to go this far.


I did the fast last December - went the full 10 days plus an additional few days on the OJ. I got pretty sick following the fast with a very bad lower respiratory infection that led to the doctors and some Antibiotics . I really didn't do the cleanse for any spiritual reasons, but to see if it would help clear up a rare skin condition that I've been fighting for 3 years. I had such severe detox systoms the during the first 4 days - very bad lower back pain and leg aches that kept me up some of the nights that I almost gave in - but I didn't! I fought it. My skin did clear up a good bit, but I still have these breakouts from time to time. I'm planning on starting another fast tomorrow. I really didn't follow through with good eating habits after the fast, so I kinda defeated the whole purpose of doing it. I would like do another fast and be more disciplined afterwards and also make it more of a spirtual fast.

Thanks for listening!
