The day before fast

Well today is my last day before we begin the fast. Is it me or does it seem like everything that I'm going to deny myself for the next 21 days is the exact thing that I want to eat? Like I don't usually eat candy, and yet I find myself wanting to eat sugar. I know it's nothing but the enemy trying to make me eat that stuff so that I will have a headache and then want to quit. I try not to give in too much, because "greater is He that is in me than he that is in this world." I didn't drink coffee yesterday and had a slight headache yesterday, so I think that by the time that I start tomorrow, the headaches wont be an issue. Here's to a 2009 that is going to be bigger and better than 2008. I'm declaring that God is going to take us higher than we've ever been before and we will do great things for the Kingdom in 2009! Can I get an Amen to that anyone?

Day 1 of fast, it already feels different than previous fasts have. There is a closer connection to God already, almost a feeling like this is what he is waiting for. Our hearts, our minds, our souls to draw closer, to come closer to him. He has much to say to us , if now we would listen. Im actually finding myself looking forward to the 21 days , Im ready for God to come closer and take us to new levels!!
