Hello everyone! So for this week Nic and I are doing different fasts. I'll let him explain his in another blog post. I am giving up a few things this week. I tried to think of what would be a sacrifice for the week. First, I'm only cooking with what we have. No grocery shopping. Also, I am giving up alcohol, snacking in the evening when the kids go to bed, and lunch.
It's funny because I thought giving up lunch would be the hardest but I love having a snack and drinking a glass of wine when the girls go to bed. This is actually the first time I have fasted.
In doing in the read in the book, I'm glad she touched on giving more thought to what we are actually putting in our bodies because they are a temple. As much as this isn't a diet but putting more consideration into how we are actually eating is important. It was interesting to read the laws God had laid out about eating pure vs impure animals. Btw, I highly recommend not only reading In Defense of Food but Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbera Kingsolver is an amazing book about this subject as well.
Above all it was good reminder that we are doing this fast to create a margin for God to move.
I am looking forward to seeing all of you on Tuesday!
