FASTING

I had a friend ask me this question (actually she asked if it was okay to ask this question cause it might be wrong to ask it!):

What are you fasting from?

Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE breakfast!  I love getting up, making eggs and toast, maybe a sausage, and most of all my mocha.  Then I love sitting at the table.  Not just a breakfast table...our formal table with placemants and cloth napkins to read the paper.  I like to plan 45 mins for this ritual.  It's my best-way-to-start-a-day routine.  Right now as I write this it's late and breakfast is a few short hours away.  It's honestly made me happy just thinking about my breakfast as I write this.  But guess what I gave up to God? 

My breakfast routine.

For the next 3 weeks I will be having vegetable juice for breakfast.  And toast.  And no paper.  Instead I'll be reading God's Word and praying.  Not that that's a horrible thing to do in the morning.  It's just not my routine.

I'm already missing my mocha.  It's so bad that when we prayed with Abbi tonight she asked if I wanted to adopt and I said, "I'm not worried about that right now, I'm worried about not having my mocha for 3 weeks."

I'm certain I need help.  And prayers.  But I'm also certain that I found the biggest offering I could give to God.  And I'm counting on him to faithfully hear my prayers and pour out his blessings upon me for the next 20 mornings. 

I know I don't NEED my breakfast routine, but I do NEED God! 

How about you?  What have you fasted and how were you blessed?
