Day 12 of 21 day Daniel fast and my first day back to work in a while. I thought it was going to be harder than it was just because of the many temptations but I was at the Community location today so there wasn't any easy food access other than the drug reps brought Chick-Fil-A. But I got to tell them prior to them coming that I wanted a fruit cup. For dinner I had portobello mushrooms and a sweet potato with cinnamon and a touch of butter. I tried hummus today and was not impressed at all. I didn't like the taste of it but it might of been the garden flavor we got.
My youversion.com reading today talked about the craving we have while fasting and realizing the control they have over our lives. I recognized a can of soda opening today and my mouth began to water immediately. Since I have been home most of my fast I haven't' had to deal with my cravings first hand. And WOW, that one slapped me in the face today.
It felt great to be able to work today though, I was pain free for most all of the day but was worn out and had a headache when I got home. I felt like I had accomplished something unlike when I am at home in pain laying bed all day. I have to take take the good with the bad though and do the best I can.
Thank you Lord for my day and good night,
Michelle
Angels bless and angels keep
Angels guard me while I sleep
Bless my heart and bless my home
Bless my spirit as I roam
Guide and guard me through the night
and wake me with the morning's light.
Amen
