What I've learned in fasting: I'm weak and need MUCH guidance each step.
"live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." (Eph 4 1b-6)
Today I slept in, burnt dinner and was a little more then irritated with dh.
(and all he did was come home?!) I didn't have any energy for anything...even for a much needed prayer meeting. Final straw was when the dd dumped expensive concentrated toning oil called "Inspire" in her foot bath while on top of the bathroom counter sink, that she was told not crawl up on only seconds before. Guess she felt "inspired" (funny now that I think of that.)
So at this point I'm not feeling like surrendering to (refer to highlighted areas above). Instead, I spanked and stormed out of the room, when slamming first door wasn't enough, then out of the front door also.
While "taking 5" I turned on radio and heard Casting Crowns - "East to West" and was reminded of why I get upset so easily and what those emotions are really about....go have a listen.
"How's your Fast?" you ask...now you know, it's harder than I though it would be.
