Today was the beginning of my 40 day fast from...just about everything I have to much of i.e. texting, excessive food, my ipod, aim/skype, and Facebook. Purpose: to strengthen my relationship with God and short out my dependence on material things.
Today wasn't as difficult as I thought but I honestly cannot see doing 39 more days of this. I was thinking about listening to music all day. Currently, I'm thinking of the moment I gave my ipod to my mom to hide from me. I felt like I was sharing that moment when Jesus knew He had to die, or when Will Smith got in the bath tub during the final moments of 7 Pounds, which I saw hours before the fast began. Definitely got me in the sacrificial mood. I did however come to a clever conclusion with the help of my grandmother: Control is in human nature. We need to let go of the handles and enjoy the ride without fear of falling.
