Hunger: Day 4

I'm excited because today I'm trying something new. I'm fasting. This evolved from the fact I had no lunch and no money at work today. I read up on why people fast and it sounded like something I'd like to give a try. It involves more prayer than usual and more reading of the scripture than normal. It also involves being able to overcome physical and mental hurdles. So far, both hurdles have been slight. As of right now, I've only had a piece of cake at 9:30 this morning (almost 12 hours ago). The fast officially started at 12:00 pm when I finished up some work and prayed for a bit over 20 minutes. God willing, if I make it to my goal of three days, it will end immediately after church on Sunday.

Another positive that should be a part of every day is playing with the kids. After we got home from Applebee's (that was difficult watching Kim eat a grilled cheese BLT. I'm salivating right now just thinking about it), I helped them clean up their rooms, the we all went outside and played catch for a while. Then we made our short trek to Moore's Market (the chocolate milk store) and the kids got some gum and a popsicle. Gabrielle was able to peddle her bike without sitting down and Colton pulled Noah in Noah's wagon. Life is good.
