Mafanikio!!!
I promised you an update so here it is :)
I made it! I went all day yesterday with only water, not even gum this time. Sure enough not on my own. I prayed continually all day for strength. I watched other people eat, smelled others food from my desk at work, and listened to others share how they had Chicken Express for lunch that day...nice :) . I really think the gum was why I failed Monday. I think it just teased me and made me hungrier.
So this may not seem like a big deal to some of you but I normally eat 5 times a day, if not 6. Of course some are just snacks, but I eat!
Can I say I think Chick-Fil-a is on the menu for lunch today!
Now this morning on the other hand was harder. I woke up sooo hungry, had a headache and shakes. So needless to say I think I've already had my 5 meals today and it's only 11 am..lol.
What did I learn from this? I know we have it so easy, just to spend the day in prayer and minute by minute relying on Him really shows me where I fail Him everyday. To have full obedience is amazing. To be able to stay connected is humbling. I know I will never be perfect but I know He is always there to pick me up when I fall. For that I'm truely blessed!
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 2 Corinthians 12: 9
Thanks for your prayers!
