It's been a great start to fasting, the first 7 days have gone by very quickly! I'm looking forward to the next 14 days and all that God has planned for all of us who have taken the challenge to sacrifice ourselves and go after God.
I'm going to go for a total fast tomorrow. I've been fasting through lunch and just going for a light dinner or sometimes no dinner at all. I usually feel kind of bloated sometimes eating all the fruits and vegetables, so I really can't eat much by the end of the day. Now that I'm older, I'm one of those people who likes vegetables, they just don't seem to like me! :o)
I'm also going to get my blood level checked tomorrow. I'm sure with all of the vegetables I've been eating my levels are probably too low, but oh well, I'm going after God and He's holding me in His hand and regardless of what the numbers say, I'm feeling better than I've felt in a long time. I really struggle with this up and down blood level thing, they told me before that it's almost impossible to eat healthy on blood thinners because of the limitations you have to adhere to with vegetables. I don't think that they know that "nothing is impossible with God"!
When my blood levels are high, or "within range", I'm fine, when they are low, I feel fine, but when they are really high, I feel really bad. It's crazy because I have to live with this "for the rest of my life". But, it's like my "thorn in the side" that keeps me close to God and I'm okay with that, but I'm still believing God to turn it around.
So, we made it through the first 7 days and we only have 14 more to go, so be of good cheer and continue to press on! Be blessed and be a blessing to someone! :o)
