Denied!

Well we are 7 days into our fast and it is becoming a bit easier.  We have learned to cook and eat some different things and that alone has been rather exciting and new.  It is amazing how much crap we pollute our bodies with and how much we “need” those things once we don’t have them.  I haven’t been hungry but I believe I can compare my circumstances to somebody trying to quit smoking.  The body is wanting something that it is used to having and in some respects is letting me know how unhappy it is.  Now the real question becomes, once I finish this fast and I am able to have what I want, will I return to those addictive foods?  One of my favorite passages from the bible is were the Lord is speaking to Peter and correcting him because he didn’t want to eat the food that was set before him.  Kill and eat was what He said to him, but Peter refused.  Now I know the passage was about a lot more than food,  and that it was about him ultimately going to minister to a group of gentiles.  Basically what I am saying this that I will probably kill and eat, but maybe I will be more conscious of what I eat.  We will see.
