Fasting

I know some people would say that talking about fasting does not help it's purpose, but I wanted to share my opinion on one of the first times I fasted.  My hubby and I decided we would join our church in an effort to focus on our church's growth by fasting.  I was proud of my husband because he does physical labor and he doesn't want to pass out, but he worked hard.  But I was disappointed in my self, I needed to put better focus on God and our prayer, but it took me awhile to stop focusing on my hunger and sleepiness.  (Especially after my supervisor said you look sick.)  I got to a point though that when I did think of food, or felt sleepy I would redirect my focus and pray.  *note to self: redirect more!*  But I think the worst part is I got home from work around 5:30, I feel asleep.
Nonetheless, I am proud of the people I go to church with.  As our pastor says, "Bold prayers honor God, and God honors bold prayers."
