I thought I would give an update on my Wednesday and Friday Lent fasting resolution. Mainly for the purpose of encouraging you to just keep on "trucking along" no matter how many times you've failed. You're in good company with me! For instance, I'm supposed to be fasting on bread and water on just two days each week. I had envisioned myself piously eating one piece of crusty-looking bread for each meal with tap water. However, the reality of my fast is brown sugar swirl bread and "fizzy water" when I can't chug down one more gulp of boring water (oh AND a regular meal at dinner, because if I don't eat something else at dinner, my family might disown me)...
I have to admit, "real" fasting on bread and water is SO MUCH HARDER for me than I thought it would be. I'm still waiting for my LivetheFast starter kit, so I'm hoping that it will work miracles - ha ha. In the meantime, I'm going to just keep praying for God's grace and hoping that Jesus appreciates my feeble attempts.
