My comment posted and I wasn't done! Anyway... I'm still in pain and still have a headache, but at least I get my mind and heart focused on why I'm doing it. Fasting isn't for everybody. That's why I only do it once a year, and only when I'm not pregnant. And, I also get to eat 6 small crackers throughout the day to keep my body from totally wigging out. I prayed about that, because I tend to pass out if I don't eat for a whole day. Is that cheating? I think God's okay with it. Maybe this year it won't be so bad, since I'm carrying several extra pounds. Though, I hope that when my day rolls around, I'll be thin again. Enough rambling. I might as well have posted on this subject myself! lol ahhh! My comment posted and I wasn’t done! Anyway…

I feel called to fast on that day. I eat my last meal for dinner, go to bed, wake up and fast until sundown. Maybe it's cheating because I fast while I'm asleep? Anyway, I find my one fast a year to be an exercise in obedience (since I'm called to do it). Also, everytime I'm freaking out about being in pain because I'm so ridiculously hungry, I pray for the people and the situations for which I am fasting. Does that miraculously eliminate the pain in my stomach?
