40 days to 40, day 20
I can't believe I'm half way through this 40 day journey! Time flies when you're having fun. And just about finished with my 21 day fast that I started with my church. The most important thing I've learned from that 21 day fast and my evening devotional is just how to rest in God and enjoy his presence. I will go back to having my sweets after dinner, but I will continue my abstinence from alcohol. Starting that fast, felt weird and awkward in the beginning. Nobody likes change. Change is difficult and uncomfortable. Again, this isn't me who wants to do this, but something I feel led to do and the Holy Spirit working in me. And you know what? God is so good, because from that change, I found an inner peace. It may sound all zen, mystical and elusive, but its the truth. And it hasn't been easy, to live with integrity, to be the same person inside and out. I've been so used to living with many masks with other people, even myself. But by writing this blog, I've felt accountable to my God, my family and to YOU who's reading this right now. I've also felt the prayers. Thank you for that. So let's continue onward, shall we?
To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living. --Henri Amiel
