So...fasting is easy and hard. Some days I wonder that it is any trouble at all. I just take tea, coffee or water and get on with needs doing, including some prayer and Bible reading.
But other times....oh my goodness. One day I made it clear till dinner time, even though I was feeling hungry. I brought in dinner for my daughter and the kids (Chad was away) and half way through eating dinner with them remembered I was to be fasting. So did the fast the next day.
Last week, I was doing well, but the snack table with all kinds of goodies brought in to the school to appreciate teachers just got to me. By the time I'd eaten my second cookie, I remembered.
What is so hard about changing the habit of eating, of eating whatever and whenever I think I need to? God surely knew I would learn a lot from this discipline. I am. And I don't think I really understood how much food drives my life until now.
The good news is...I am learning. And, I have a line on a house that will likely become mine to rent. I go see the inside of it on Saturday with my grandkids. Then the landlady and I will talk about the things that have to be done before I can move in. Some of them are big, some can wait a few months and some my staff may be able to do. But all in all lots of work in the offing, if this is the place God wants me. We'll see. Jan 1st and the move is coming up very fast.
