My fasting is going great and I cannot believe that I am not hungry and have not lost energy or stamina. I have a great live enzyme green drink (like drinking 8 salads) for morning and it is curbing my previous desire for sweets, balancing blood sugar. It feels as if I have just given my body a rest from all the intestinal abuse. On the spiritual side, I am more focused on God’s word and hearing His voice in all I do, how I parent, my relationship with my husband. I am just hungry for it all. I feel like I have more time to focus on it all. maybe because I have not been worried about planning what I will consume every hour. (I am still having to feed everyone else, but it has not been too bad) If you were on my newsletter and checked out the link to go with the fasting program, it did not come on until today. There is a great testimonial about a mom and her son’s drug issue. We were once there ourselves as teens, but thank God for praying family members.
This is going to be an incredible month for so many. I am anxious to see what all God does.

On another note- I spent the morning on eggshells watching Bear-7 ’s basketball game. I remembered all the lip biting years watching my brothers play and getting soo tense with basketball. It is so fast and high energy. So I know I have years and years of that stomach churning in store for me with athletic sons. This is a wonderful age right now where the kids are all so eager and they are like a swarm of bees following the ball. If they do get it, dribbling is optional. Oh- the thrill of a son grabbing it and leaving everyone in the dust to score a layup and so what if it is for the other team!!! It is the effort that counts! Sometimes they are limited in the players they can pass to because someone is picking their nose, and then the next guy does not want to touch the ball. I will probably take my camcorder next time. It will all go by so fast. Oh the joy of boys.
My cup is runnething over.
