Today is Day 4 of the Daniel Fast
Uh Oh! I can't go! This is no bueno. It's because I'm off coffee; however, one of my FS Buddies recommended taking Magnesium, so I'm off to find some on my lunch break.
This morning, after my hot bowl of oatmeal, I wanted a hot mug of coffee. This is going to be a tough habit to break. But, on a more positive note, I read the daily devotional for Day 4 and it seemed like the author was in my mind:
Quote:When we fast, it's easy to slip into soulish emotions and focus on all the ...coffee... we are not drinking... But we can use these cravings, frustrations and feelings of deprivation as signals to turn our attention away from us and to the Lord. Every time we feel a hunger pang, a craving, or a detox headache...give thanks to the Lord for a specific blessing in your life.
Bam! Totally wiped out my groaning and complaining and turned it around into something else. Okay, now to go off to fix my bodily function issues and have myself a great day.
Onward...
