Nothing to Fear!

Just to let you know the fast went great. The reason I am sharing this with you is because I was really afraid to fast. I didn't think I could last very long without food and I was sure I would fail and then what message would that send to God...

BUT all is well! It was a modified fast- we only went to 2:00. I didn't get really hungry until 1:50! Yes, we could have done it longer but it was good and it was successful. 

Thank you so much to the friends that fasted with me! There were 7 of us all together! 

So if you are like me and afraid to do it- don't worry, give it a try, God is not looking for you to fail. He wants you to be successful, if something happens where it just doesn't work out that day- I got a feeling he will understand. I did "set up" the day where I did not have to feed the kids and the temptations where low. I had a sitter for a few hours- that enabled me to get away and focus on prayer. I kept thinking of where I should go for lunch and then I'd remember- oh yea, I can't do that!

I will definitely fast again.
