Fasting-Day Two

This morning I have an amazing amount of energy and spunk. I haven't felt hungry and during CrossFit today I felt really strong. Fasting has brought a sense of clarity to my conversations and my relationship with Jordan. Yesterday we had to put down our baby kitten at the Vet. We cried and talked and affirmed to one another that life together is hard and fulfilling in more ways than we ever imagined!!

"Team Burdette" = Alan,Rachael,Isiah(6 mo) and Jerusha(2 1/2) have been staying with us and it has been such a treat to see them. Drew and Jenny are so loved and encouraged by them. This has been great to see!!!

Fasting-Day One

Last night in the car with JoJo we talked about what it was to fast. We talked about the spiritual aspects and the health aspects and the communal aspects... we talked about when we use to fast at "The Treehouse" and what it did to us as a couple. Fasting brought us together with one focus. We prayed, talked, complained and then ate together. I read a book called,"The Spirit of the Disciplines" by Dallas Willard and learned about the deepness and freedom that comes from fasting.

Last night after Jordan and I ate dinner I started my fast. I will continue the fast until Wednesday night. I will break the fast with Jordan and comm group. It will be a total of 48 hours where I will only drink water and some juices such as beets, carrots, apples, and tomatoes. The juices are for the health benefits that come from a fast.
