Re: Starting day one
You said, "(Eating health[y] is very hard when you can't afford the good food that my body craves. I would rather have fresh fruits and veggies, but I can't afford them on my budget)"
Au contrare, my fellow God-believing friend!
When you fast, you will
discover that those fresh fruits and veggies will be
all that you crave. When you finish your fast, you will also discover that it takes
very little to satisfy your hunger!
I can now eat a few
small pieces of ($4.00 EACH! yikes) fresh pineapple for breakfast (one pineapple lasts almost a full week that way) and it satifies me ALL MORNING LONG! Yay me!
I can eat a salad for lunch, with homemade (Bragg) dressing, and
it satisfies me ALL AFTERNOON LONG!
And
the same for supper, or sometimes including a very small piece of meat (size of my fist, but most of the time it's even smaller) and
THAT satisfies me all evening!
I USED TO BE A BINGE EATER! And I'm 50 years old!
God is great. AND, by following His "still small voice" - He has never failed me.
Never.
He WILL ensure that you have enough $ to pay for the fresh food.
Trust me on this
What makes us hungry all the time, is the DEAD food we eat. We're actually hungry because we're NOT getting all the nutrition from dead food. So, our body seeks out more and more food choices in an effort to find the nutrition it craves.
By eating (that expensive) fresh food, you will find that your body will actually exist QUITE WELL, on QUITE A BIT
LESS food than you ever thought possible.
Yes, my friend, God is GREAT!
