Day 5 of 21 day Daniel fast




Day 5 I actually can't believe I have done as well as I have. I don't honestly think I have stuck to a diet as long as I have this fast. The temptations are all over. We never cleansed the house prior to me starting the fast, the kids can't fast so its all here at my fingertips. Sure there is noone around, the only person that is accountable for my actions is me. I have been driving in the car thinking "I can just get a quick burrito, noone will know," but NOPE, no way DEVIL, you will not have me..........I have to answer to God. If I feel weak I ask HIM for strength. I pray at night before I sleep. I pray when I wake up. I feel relieved and less stressed.

My pain is still ever present, it will end one day................... I know it will.....

There have been a few events that have upset me today concerning my friends and family who seem concerned but not genuine enough. I am trying to fight back from thinking unkind thoughts because I know they truly do not know how much it would mean to get a phone call. I'm just going to end that right there.

Good night all. Thank you Lord in advance for your blessings.

Seeing us all get older and at the happiest in our lives finally with people we love. Our children are healthy and some are making lives of their own. It’s like a Christmas card and almost cliche. My parents manifested this, all of this. And it’s amazing!  ❤️  They are celebrating 43 years of marriage this month. We have such an interesting family: 2 blended - which means 2 divorces, 1-re-marriage, 6–bonus kids, and a couple loud crazy dudes that adore May and I (literally couldn’t have found better men on Earth).Then you have the cutest Girl Dad ever… my brother. My sister in love is the most - lo...

She's Imperfect But She Tries

I heard this song yesterday and it so describes me.    She Used To Be Mine" It's not simple to say That most days I don't recognize me That these shoes and this apron That place and it's patrons Have taken more than I gave them It's not easy to know I'm not anything like I used to be Although it's true I was never attention's sweet center I still remember that girl She's imperfect but she tries She is good but she lies She is hard on herself She is broken and won't ask for help She is messy but she's kind She is lonely most of the time She is all of this mixed up And baked in a beautiful pie She is gone but she used to be mine It's not what I asked for Sometimes life just slips in through a back door And carves out a person And makes you believe it's all true And now I've got you And you're not what I asked for If I'm honest I know I would give it all back For a chance to start over And rewrite an ending or two...
