Day 4

Day 4

Yesterday was a long day! Not so much because of the fasting. It kind of eased up, surprisingly. Mainly because I started the day off wrong. I stayed the night at a friends house and came home the next morning. I didn't sing, didn't read any scripture, I prayed a little on the way home, but not with the kind of focus I've had the past few days. It is very clear what happens when you start off with nothing. I felt like the entire day was rushed, unorganized, and tiring. Very different from the past few days. It felt very wrong. Not like I'm a terrible person, but since I had experienced such incredible mornings this entire week, it felt like something was missing. Kind of like forgetting your cell phone at home. I felt like I left the house unprepared. Not ready for what the world throws at me constantly. And it showed. I was tired, felt drained like I was running on empty. But, when I finally came to the realization that I was half way done with the week, it challenged me. Here's what it said to me:

Challenge number 1- You can finish this. Almost done.

Challenge number 2- On the flip side, The week is almost done! I went into this week having a ton of goals to pray for and focus on, but I haven't done that in the capacity that I want.

Challenge number 3- Keep relying on God's strength for everything. Not just satisfying hunger.

All 3 were pretty amazing to realize. I pray that the rest of the week, I can follow through with these challenges.
