This has been a very interesting day. I had NO IDEA how much my life revolved around the next thing I’m going to eat. This is only the end of one day of fasting, but I’m not terribly hungry. We say all the time that we’re “hungry”. I really want to know what hungry feels like. It makes me wonder if I’ve ever really been hungry.
My thoughts still go to God as I am constantly battling habit and advertisements. Lots of commercials that are just advertising crap. Taco Bell, Burger King, breakfast cereals, soft drinks. Plus, I want to open the fridge and look in the cabinets every time I pass by. I don’t need it!
Tonight, my dad was over for dinner. I sat at the table with my beverage and everyone ate dinner. We talked and I really paid attention to the conversation more than ever. I was up and down getting things for people, allowing Christina to sit there and enjoy her dinner. It was just awesome. What glory God gives us in the grace of those little moments that usually pass us by.
I am not on a fast by accident. God is teaching.
