Thursday, March 17 - The start of my ten day fast. Three days of 100 oz of water a day followed by seven days of organic vegetables and fruits juiced.

Day One: The day started on my knees praying and thanking God. The dog was whining to go out, the living room TV was echoing and Max was running late. I got up and let the dog out, made a snotty comment to Jeff and went back to my room. The dog was whining to come in and I could not concentrate on God more or less seek him. Not the start I planned on for my first day "holiness, and closeness with God". With the morning now shot I left for work. Work greeted me with more challenges. I lost a necessary disk. Without this disk our records will not be adequate for the end of year inspection. My frustrations lead to a confrontational discussion that was heard well outside the walls of my room. The rest of the day was spent by myself drinking my water, doing my job and talking to God. I came home from work and prayed and then sat quietly until 8pm and then went to bed. At first glance it felt like a failed day of seeking God. But, when I reviewed the day, I learned that I responsible for how others interpreted my actions since I was judges on things I said when I venting or gossiping earlier that week. It is those little sins that I brush off and are keep hidden.  It was not important what anyone else did, only that I was responsible. I heard it, I knew it and I had to repent for it. I had the chance to recheck with God that there was no more sin I had not repented.
