My goal this year.....

A person who can discipline himself to
Fast on a regular basis in the way God has designed
can resist every temptation, overcome any burden,
and become free from any yoke.

Elder Shayne M. Bowen

i just read that when you fast for 24 hrs. your body actually changes chemically . . . interesting. think it gives your metabolism a kick start. anyway, fasting is a powerful tool - but a little hard to do it properly and effectively sometimes.

Plan plan plan. Too many times we come to Saturday before Fast sunday with a lame meal. I have found that when I plan to make a real meal Saturday night that I almost always put more thought and prayer into that fast and I don't feel as deprived because I started it off with a good meal. Ramen noodles or cold cereal just aren't great ways to kick it off.

I love fasting though it's taken me some time to get back into it again. Baby birthing years threw me off.

A very worthy goal. :)

ME TOO....

I've started my fasts Saturday after lunch to Sunday lunch.... For some reason it has been easier to wake up already fasting and then I am prepared better for church....
I always hated just not eating...which I've done too much because I didn't prepare...

p.s I LOVE having your little sister around!!! :)

What have we been up to?
