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!
