This weeks Ehoops session was one to remember for the Ehoopers and myself. The young people I am sure will not forget all of the fun we had at vertigo this past Wednesday. I will never forget it, since it was my first time. I am really glad I had the chance to experience it with the Ehoopers; they brought the child out of me with all of the bouncing around. It was a really an uplifting experience to start our first Ehoops session of the year off with non-stop laughter and fun. After an hour of bouncing around we ordered pizza, now this was a challenging moment for me. Wednesday was day 3 of my fast so I had not ran into any real tempting situations to break my fast. I withstood the small test of temptation to break my fast. The fact that pizza is something I am very accustom to eating is what made it some what of a challenge. My fasting experience thus far has been very beneficial from a mental and spiritual aspect. I can feel myself growing with more mental discipline each day. I truly believe that if we can take control over our thoughts and the outside influences that contribute to how we think then controlling the body becomes easier. Spiritually I have been more focused on ways that I can strengthen my relationship with God. I have even been thinking of extending my fasting experience, but for now I will focus on the six days I have coming up and see how I feel then. Thanks again for reading my blog look out for more updates on my fasting experience. “To God Be The Glory”
