Fasting.
Fasting is really hard. I'm on a fast right now. It's only a one day fast, and I've done it before. But today its just really hard. It also doesn't help that I didn't eat dinner last night, cuz i went to work at 5 and didn't think about dinner, then didn't get home til 10:30, but i was too tired to go get food. Plus i just wanted to sit down.

But seriously, it's only 1:34 and i have to make it until 7:30 til i can eat. That's still 6 more hours! It's going to be hard.

I tried to do a double fast, from both food and my computer, but I got really bored and needed something to distract me from my stomach. It also doesn't help that my cousins are over and me and my siblings are watching them. So my mom tried to tell me what to give them for lunch and I was like no. I"m not going to be the one feeding them andi dont' wanna hear about food. So she calls the oldest one of htem over and tells her what they can have while I'm sitting right there. I'm like gee thanks mom. But whatever.

I'm really tired too.. I don't know why. I slept for like 9 hours last night, but apperently that's not good enough.

I don't know.. This is just my litle complaining.


OH and I was reading my Bible and one of the stories that I kept coming across was the feeding of the five thousand. I was like, I want some of that bread. It sounds really really good right now. But the verse that's going to get me through is Matthew 4:4 "Jesus answered 'Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word from the mouth of God.' " So yea, I just keep saying that to myself... and it makes me really want bread... and i don't even like bread very much.

But I'm going to make it. I know i will...

Wow.. every week?
thats a lot of fast... usually i just do it once a year...

This year my fasting was really hard. I'm not sure why, but just sort of a combination of things. But I made it and learned alot about myself and my God.

Hm, well, you believe what you want. I'm not monotheistic and my family is athiest. I rather find the bible and such really boring and have never been interested in reading it. But that's just me. I don't fast, cuz I like food too much, and I don't really see the point. Either way you are distracted from thinking about whatever you're supposed to be thinking. But if that's something you want to do, that's fine with me, just don't try to get me to do it or anything cuz I will get really mad. ^^
