A fast I take

I am blogging about a fast I am undertaking. I wanted to write about my day to day experiences while I go. My plan is to fast for seven days while only drinking water and tea.

Day 1

I was really afraid to fast because I hate being hungry. Those that know me, know that very rarely have I ever denied myself of food when I wanted it. The first day was not really bad. I woke up feeling mildly hungry, drank some green tea, took a shower, got dressed and went to work.

It hard to describe to people how and why you are fasting. It is also really hard when I myself do not exactly know why I am doing it. I trust God has laid this on my heart and I made a covenant with him that I would not eat till for Seven days. So when my coworker asked me what was up and I told him it was kind of awkward. Anyway, day one was was not bad, but I am bored and I miss the taste of my favorite food.

My prayer today is that God would reveal himself to me while I am fasting. I praying He would show me why we should fast, that I can connect with him, and finally that God show me how me to find my calling.

Physical symptoms - hungry, a little tired, pangs are not too bad.
