So, Saturday we had to bake friendship bread. My mom made it while I was at work, but the smell of yummy baked goodness filled the entire house by the time I got home. Right about the time I smelled the bread, I decided I was over the Daniel Fast. I decided God would still love me if I wimped out. He’d see my efforts and forgive me for eating real food again. I cheated. I had a smoothie with a scoop of yogurt in it Saturday night.
But you’ll be happy to know that I’m back on the Daniel Fast Wagon. VHQ had a ton of yummy snack food for Daniel Fast-ers. And The sermon Sunday was amazing and it reaffirmed my dedication to this fast. And last night I made home made salsa over some baked potatoes. It was diced canned tomatoes, kidney and pinto beans, green pepper, onion, jalapeno, chili powder and zucchini. It was SOOOO good. Every time I make something from scratch I get re-excited about the fast. I caught up on my reading and every time I go to eat something I pray because I think about the fast which makes me think about God. The fast is going to, hopefully, make praying all the time a habit. It’ll definitely reinforce praying before meals, and well, I eat a ton, so praying will truly become second nature. First nature even!
So yeah, very excited. Tonight we’ll have the salsa over some brown rice. Yummy =]
