Update

I went through a major temptation this morning. My dreams last night were definitely not spiritual. I was very hungry while I slept. I dreamt about food all night long! I was tempted to eat these foods in my dreams, but I refused because I remembered that I was accountable to this forum. Lol your supporting me in my dreams too. I woke up very hungry and with a slight headache. When I woke up I was very tempted to start a juice phase which would not break my fasting commitment, but I do not want to start juice until I really need to. My heart is in the Water Fast and I want to spend as much time over the next forty days in that as I can. I was telling myself that I will never make it at work today and that my hard time is now here. Remember, I told you mine is delayed. Days five and beyond is when I usually really start to get sick. At least I wasn't tempted to eat solid food. My resolve is still strong to stick with something for forty days. Next, Vektek's song, "I Need Thee Every Hour," started playing in my mind. I thought, "Oh, Lord, I need you now to help me make the right decision." Then I went over to my computer and checked the forum and my email. I got a very encouraging email that helped me make the right decision. As I was sitting there I realized that very little weakness has even set in. My headache was gone and I knew there was no good reason to break the water only fast. So off to work I went. I felt great all day. I had more than enough energy to do the job. :) I wasn't even bothered that much by hunger.

What will tomorrow bring? I don't know. I will be in day four in less than half an hour.

Thanks friends. Much love to you all and to Jesus, of course!
