We had lifegroup tonight, so Sarah made a smorgasbord of food! Dessert was especially tasty once I added peanut butter and honey! :) I also made some banana muffins to try for breakfast in the morning. They will probably be super bland, but it was worth a shot! I found out today that the Daniel fast can be a great opportunity to tell others about my faith. A teacher asked me today, "So...exactly why are you doing this to yourself?" I told her that this is a way of denying my flesh or my appetite to focus on God, and a way for our church to unite and pray for each other. I'm really having to watch my attitude, though, and not complain. If I am constantly being negative about it, I'll defeat the purpose of the fast, which is relying on the Spirit's strength. God is showing me that I have a warped view of Him. I tend to base what I know about God on my feelings/emotions. I need to remember to base my feelings on the truth, which is God's word. "I believe; help my unbelief!"
