my first fast

Today started a new routine, a weekly routine of fasting on every Wednesday, I won't eat any solid food or drink anything besides water. Also iwont have gum, candy or tobacco. The first few hours of my fast were spent morning coming home from work, I didn't eat and didn't feel an urge to eat, I however pray for the strength and fortitude to start and complete my fast. Waking up aroundeleven this morning after a few frantic calls from may mom. ( there were thunder storms and tornado warnings in our part of Alabama all dat, and a total of seven tornadoes struck neighboring counties) I soon felt my first hunger pain after sitting with grandma for a bit nd watching her eat her lunch. I decided to increase my water intake and to take my mind off my stomach and to remind myself why I was going thrift such an endeavor I read a few chapters of Matthew. After reading and praying I let myself have an your justamente an Jou pd Internet time (hule time) i watched most of the latest episode of glee and cut it short before my hour was up. After that I went upstairs and read from the bible some more and took a cat nap in the chapel room. I woke up and started reading again, all the while thanking God for staying with me and giving me through my fast. I've got a few more minutes to go before it is officially Thursday and my fast ends in a few minutes and I'm still jot sure why ill eat, but whatever it is it is going to be good!

staying focused

It hasn't been easy staying on task with l the new distractions in my life, the new phone included. Work is work but with the prospect of school starting in less than a month I know that I will need more money from scholarships and grants. I've been letting time go by without serious looking at all my financial options... I need to do a few things around the house this week, laundry, finishing the ditch for the pipe and writing the letter to the lady at Lawson about filing me as independent. I also signed up for this a team event at work, we are going to an elementary school on Thursday to teach kids how to plant flowers. It should be fun, and I need a little fun right now. I'm reading the bible more now that I have the app on my phone. Long day today, I worked this morning for five hours fame home, had the best steam bath and then took a nap, I didn't do much but it seemed like a long day. Tomorrow will be more productive. :)

A new home

Living in Alabama is going well. I've got my job my family and classes start next month. A lot has happened, I've gotten my car fixed, though I'm sure that it still needs some primarily my brakes. I got into my first accident last month that was fun. And of course my mother was in the car just making matters worse. I managed to score a promotion at work, I'm the. Ad set supervisor at kohls now. Even though I'm planning on becoming a regular associate again, I'm still having fun as a sup and like the pay very much. I also found another church home, three name of the church escapes me, oh thats right its seventh day adventist church of God.
