Fasting
After teaching the CTR 6 class a lesson on fasting, I was compelled to fast. I considered fasting on Sunday, but then remember NEXT Sunday is fast Sunday... I probably should have fasted on Sunday, but decided to do it today instead. I've only ever fasted for 2 meals once before, though I've fasted for one meal a few times. I've always given a hearty fast offering, but since I've been nursing Leah forever, I don't usually fast. So, today was the day. There was more praying than usual, because, well that's the whole point, right? I do have something specific that I'm fasting for and I will probably continue to fast once a week until *something* happens. I feel like I did pretty well until I was cooking dinner. Then I absent-mindedly tasted something and all the willpower came tumbling down, lol. I did drink a little water during the day, but I feel that is fine for a nursing mom...

Good for you! Fasting can be truly powerful. I loved fasting on my mission. It is definitely more challenging with a family to feed, but perhaps then it is an even greater sacrifice, and a greater blessing? If you ever feel a desire to have someone fast with you, I'm sure we would be happy to. Sometimes that helps :) But a private fast can be important, too. I look forward to hearing about your experience!
