My friend said, “Why? I thought you already had a job.”
Fasting with Daniel
February 7, 2012 by 12 Comments
The first few days of The Daniel Fast I felt like I was at an AA meeting in jail. Going out takes on a whole new meaning when you take out meats, desserts, and cocktails. I was literally obsessed with the food part of The Daniel Fast,but about a week into it I got really involved in the other aspects of the fast. I hoped I would figure out what I wanted to do with my life.

I needed answers. I found myself at a cross roads. I moved back to Orlando two and half years ago. Anybody who knows me knew that Orlando wasn’t the city I wanted to call home post-graduation. I ended up here so I decided to make the best of it. I got a job and started an online graduate program.
“This Life Be Over Soon…Heaven Last Always”

There are two things I don’t like about certain churches. The first thing is when they ask all the visitors to stand so they can acknowledge them. I don’t mind when they clap and say “Welcome”, but I hate when they keep asking you do you want to say something. Sometimes before you can decline you have an usher handing you a mic. The second thing I dislike is the part at the end of church when the minister asks does anybody want to be saved. Some ministers ask the question once maybe twice and after a minute or two if nobody walks up they move on to the next part of service, but this minister at a church I visited was definitely the reason why sometimes I don’t like that portion.

I don’t really remember the first time I met Jo, but I’m sure it was some time in the 9th grade. She was short, funny, and had all the confidence in the world. We ended up becoming great friends over the years. We’ve had funny, tearful, crazy, and outrageous moments. She’s the person I would call if I needed someone to be in the passenger seat to do some investigative work. She was the person I would talk about God with. She’s the person that would have dance battles with me in the middle of dance floor in a nightclub or in the middle of my living room. She’s the person I would call between commercial breaks during our favorite television shows to talk about what just happened.

I sat on a bench at Lake Eola’s Park sipping on a pineapple mango smoothie from McDonald’s with a classmate from my master’s program. She said, “Take home exams are always harder than the ones you take in class…don’t you think so? E.? You heard me?” I said, “Oh, what?” She said, “Take home exams…they are tougher than the ones you take in class right?” I said, “Oh yeah, I always thought that too.” She said, “Where is your mind at?” I said, “How often do you talk to God?” She said, “That’s a random question. Ummmm…I talk to him, but not as much as I probably should.” I looked straight ahead to the water and said, “Oh.”

Outside of the really good meal at Spice there was nothing else about The Bible Thumper I liked. Well, there was something else. My taillights went out and he works for is one of those mega churches. You know the churches that consist of daycares, ATM machines, a studio, valet parking, and have couple of car mechanics on duty. I figured why not get my car fixed. Just maybe the Lord put him in my life for that. Or maybe the Lord is using me as a vessel to help him change his ways! Or maybe that’s just me rationalizing the fact that it cost almost $400 to get my car fixed and I didn’t want to pay it. I hinted towards my car’s taillights and he let me know that there were three mechanics on hand at the church that the employees used. We went on Thursday so the mechanic could diagnose the problem and everything seemed to be on track. Well, it was on track until Friday night.

The last few dates I’ve been on have been far from a love connection! I come from a super saved Pentecostal family. A “Praise Jesus”, “Hallelujah”,”Amen”,”Jesus is on the mainline”, and “Glory” super saved Pentecostal Family. So maybe the reason I’m not finding quality men is because I’m not super saved. I decided to do the closest thing to getting saved. I chose my next man from a church! Enter The Bible Thumper!
