Last day

Yes...today is the final day of my seven day fast...and I don't even have to make it through the whole day...just till I get off work at 5, then I can eat some food for dinner. Won't be anything very appetizing, but food nonetheless. So my overall experience with fasting was really good. I still can't believe I made it...it was all God. The last time I tried fasting I made it for about 9 hours...never thought I'd survive 7 days, but the Lord can do some pretty amazing things. So one thing I've learned is that God can use me to do things that I may think I could never do...and He does it because it brings Him that much more glory. He uses those that are incapable so that it is clear that they're doing it by His power and not their own. My attitude has changed about a lot of things, and I'm still not exactly sure why. Maybe it is just that I asked God to kick satan out and He did just that. I dunno. So I would highly recommend a fast sometime. There are bonuses to it as well. For instance: I lost 12 pounds, I saved a lot of money on food, and my teeth are whiter.

Anyway...yesterday I worked till 1 then I spent the rest of the day with my mom. It was kinda rough. She broke down a couple times talking about my dad and everything that's been going on. She's really in a bind right now. She had to sell her engagement ring and a couple rings he got her for Christmas for $500 to survive on and it still isn't enough because she's behind from last month. It was unavoidable though because she spend a lot of money on gas going to and from Circleville and on food while we were there because we couldn't just cook...but there's nothing I can do about it. I'm having problems myself even though I FINALLY got my VA check. Praise the Lord. That was the one thing I needed to pay rent and utilities...everything else...God will provide somehow. As the day went on, Mom seemed to lighten up a bit. She ended up spending the night last night, which I think she kinda needed to be around her daughter, so I complied.

That's about it. I'm gonna finish out my day at work then eat a small small dinner then go meet Mac and Cheese then watch the season finale of Amazing Race. I hope you all are doing well. Peace out!!

God bless!
