This morning was a little bit rough, especially before my math test. As soon as I started getting frustrated about being hungry, the Holy Spirit immediately popped images of the people in other countries who are bone with a thin layer of dermis draped over their bones. I remembered pictures of children and babies that I've seen who were dangling over their mother's arms barely conscious from lack of nourishment. Surprising, I felt a little better after that physically; more ached in spirit however. After class I went to the grocery store and bought fruits, veggies, whole wheat products, and nuts. It feels really good to put healthy food into my body. Not that I didn't put healthy substance into my body before. But when all you're eating are things that are pure and natural, you can't help but feel more cleansed. Don't get me wrong, I am sure to keep this fast spiritually focused-but the other benefits are rewarding as well. Limiting my food options is also forcing me to be more innovative and creative with the food that I prepare and consume. I usually do not prepare food whatsoever. Not good food at least. I am beginning to realize that I rather enjoy making food and cooking-as long as I get to eat it C;
As far as my prayer requests, one was answered last night unexpectedly. A past friend that ties were cut with welcomed me into her life again. Praise Jesus. Definitely an answer to restoration and healing of relationships and unity. That's what He does best. I can't wait to see what else He has in store for myself and others through this time of Spirit focus.
