Today I started fasting. The pan is to fast until Saturday after the prayer meeting in Mt. Healthy. I am hoping to clear my head so that I can try to listen for what God is saying. I have never cone a fast of any length before, no longer than one day eve. I am a little nervous about how its going to go. I hope I don't get sick. the big thing I am worried about is how much weight I might lose, or that I'll get sick. Like I said though, I really have no idea what I am getting into.
I ate lunch today, and haven't had anything since. I wouldn't say I am necessarily really hungry, but I consistently have thought to myself tonight "hey why don't I go eat something...aw crap..." It has been good so far though. When I think about food it just reminds me to think about God, which I think is the idea. So now I am not eating and not watching TV, basically I have forgone all American activities except the internet. I am like the college student antithesis.
At this point I don't want to read anything really. I guess I'll read the Luke 4 devotional, then sleep. Confessions has thoroughly overwhelming my capacity for digesting ideas. I just don't know what to do with it. One thing I can't help but laugh about is how easy I thought that book was the first time I read it. I just breezed through it as a high school senior. Now I read like 2 pages and I just close my eyes and try to figure out what the heck is going on. That either means I am understanding more and the stuff I am understanding is tough, or I am getting dumber and I just can't decipher things anymore.
I have 5 slices of leftover pepperoni and bacon pizza from Larosa's in my fridge. I am going to bed.
