So it's been one week since my fast started. I have to say that as time has passed by I am not so concerned about the fact that I have let go of cakes, candy and other sweets that I included in my list. I know that this may not be the case in 3 weeks, or when I am face to face with that cupcake goliath Grrrr. lol However, I do not plan on surrendering. I do plan on adding some other things to this small list of mine, perhaps after my 40 day fast I can commit to letting go of other things that are no good for me.
I am learning through this process that there are things that we sometimes hold on to, without realizing that we can actually live without them. We seem to hold on to all these "comfort" foods, moments, memories, and even people because we think this is what will make us happy at the end. We think without "this" we won't survive, and yet I continue to learn that my sanity will not rest on "these worldly" material things. We have to remember that even people (because we are imperfect) will fail us, so instead we will rest only on the LORD. I may not know what tomorrow will bring but I do know what today has promised. So as another day goes by and I am able to commit to this "routine" I have incorporated, I plan to continue to learn whatever I need to learn, slowly but surely. <3
