I’ve had a desire to fast. A little history: some years ago I did a multiple day fast; I think it was five days. I didn’t research first. I broke the fast with greasy Pizza Hut and wound up with the doctors after I made my gall bladder very angry with me. Since that time, I’ve actually done research on a healthy way to fast. But, I’ve been hesitant to go for multiple days again.
This time I took my apple cider vinegar capsules and my vitamins. This time I sipped some broth as well as all my water. This time I had some toast as my first food after a three day fast. This time I didn’t hurt myself! Hooray!
The great thing is that my body seemed to want this. I wasn’t hungry unless I was smelling someone else’s food. That part was crazy! But definitely comforting that this draw to do this was right.
In the Bible people fasted and prayed. I’ve had some big things that I’ve been praying about. This morning the hubster and I talked and both of us were thinking the same way about a problem. I felt such peace about it after we decided together. I’m still praying because I want to be super duper sure. But, it is not missed that the day we came into agreement, the day I felt peace, is the day that I felt I should eat. I try not to look too much in to little signs because Lord knows I have quite an imagination and could totally make something out of nothing! But I am interested to see the next steps here.
Tonight I am thankful for a successful three day fast! I am thankful for health and for peace! I’ll be doing this again, sooner than several years!!
