Well...I have not-so-great news to report about the fast last night. When we got in the car and started off, after having driven almost an hour to Talihina to take Psalm to the ER for her ear infection and then waiting about an hour for the doctor and medication, we stopped for food at a convenience store. All I can say is that I guess I totally went into "car travel mode" and had Stephen get me three bags of Whoppers candies for the road. It wasn't until I had eaten the third one that I started thinking, "This is unlike me to eat this much candy. Why am I craving it...?"
Oh, yeah, I'm fasting...!!!
I was sick at my stomach the second I remembered WHY I had crazily crammed three packages of Whoppers in my mouth!!! But I can honestly say that I had no idea--it had totally slipped my mind.
Ugh...I hate failing.
----------------------------------
This morning, though, I'm off to a great start again. Stephen just left with Justin for the ball field at Rangers Stadium and sis and I are here at the hotel. She's watching Sponge Bob, and I'm getting ready to work on my studies for the next ministry class. I hope to get some devotions done, too, in the next couple of hours and then head with sis to the mall to look to see if I can find Stephen a birthday gift.
