I really don't have much to say today. I know that's unusual-huh?
Lets see.... I am fasting from Candy and sweets for a week. It seems the older I get the more I crave sweets. I used to really never eat sweets unless it was around that time of the month. (Which is right now!) that makes it harder!! But,I just crave chocolate all the time.
So, I decided I would take something that I know would be a challenge to do with out and fast.
I asked my kids what they would give up for a week, month, whatever and they told me what would be hard for them to give up. They wanted to know why I was doing this. I said to show my love for God. I told them that Jesus fasted for 40 days with NO FOOD or water to show his commitment to his Father. Payton said there is no way a human can do that. I said Payton, Jesus may have been in human form when he first came here but, HE WAS JESUS! He had the greatest of all powers- he healed people-He even brought people back from the dead. Sure he felt what humans feel, but he had God on his side.
I must have him by me too because, to really test me I went to my small group last night and on the table was the biggest jar of candy. They were all munching away. I didn't have one peace-Spring gave me some gum though.
Just think of what Jesus gave up for us? His life!
Could you give something up to prove your love and dedication? My friend Kathy gave up her blogging for 2 weeks. I think it killed me more than it did her!Ha Because I love reading her blogs. They are always so inspirational. But she did it.
Well blogbuddies-have a great day and eat a big ole peace of yummy sweet chocolate or candy for me!

Thanks girl-I am proud of you too. You've really taken to this mommy thing. I can tell you LOVE your babies with all your heart!
Yes, I have found a inner peace that I've never felt before! Its amazing.
If it killed YOU when I didn't blog, it killed ME TWICE!!!!! It was VERY HARD!
I'm proud of you for resisting the candy last night!!
Isn't it funny how sweets can become more than they really are? Example: I walked into Mark's office today and I was feeling rotten with this sinus infection I've got, so he hands me his M & M jar! And that's from a NORMAL person, a GUY even!
