Hi Ladies,
Welcome to the Daniel Fast 2014 thread! This is a place for us to encourage each other, pray for each other, share recipes, ask questions, etc. Please let us know what day you will begin your fast so that we can cheer you on!
The Daniel Fast is a 21 day fast from meats, dairy, breads, and other items. Below is information on what should and should not be eaten. I it copied from the 2013 thread and included the link as well.
I will begin my fast on Sunday, January 5th. I know some ladies are starting sooner so I will begin praying for you tonight. Happy New Year and Happy Fasting to all of you!
