Spiritual Discipline

Last year I learned a lot from fasting one day a week. Now will see what fasting for 1 month will do.

My housemate, Florence, has fasted every Jan and July since I've known her. I really admire her closeness to God and ability to hear His direction for her life. So... I decided to join her for this month.

This is the second day and already I have picked up food, unconsciously, and ate it!! It was a handful of macadamia nuts, one of my favorites, that I was sharing with Janet and her friend, Shawn. Oh well, will just add one more day on at the end of the month. Already I can see that I will have loads more time to read, quilt, or just be. Pretty freedom giving I think.

More updates as we walk along.
