Day 3

How I feel:

-nauseous... whyyy??

-still tired

 These withdrawals are lasting a long time... with no wheat, dairy, meat, or refined sugar in my diet, I'm sure my body is like, "GIVE ME, GIVE ME". Thankfully I have done a liquid/juice fast for 10 days before and I know that by the 5th day I was feeling chipper. Gotta hold out for a while longer.

Smoothie:

 

1 cup of coconut water

2 handfuls of power greens

1 handful of ice

2/3 of a frozen banana

 2 Tbs of cocoa powder

2 Tbs of PB powder

1 scoop of Juice +

1/2 Tbs of hemp seeds

 What is God saying?

I'm reading Chris Seay's book A Place at the Table. Here are a few things I found awesome:

"Certainly, our relationship with food is a unique window into our soul. In the days leading up to a fast I committed to a few years ago, a very simple realization broke my will, pride, and eventually my heart. I realized that the joy that food and material possessions bring to me is often substantial, but that far too often I lack any sense of gratitude for it. The fact that God sustains our lives by a gift from His hand should cause us to stop everything and offer sincere thanks, but so often we do not. The same is true for the air we breath, our health and well-being, and sadly even the grace and forgiveness offered to us through Jesus the Liberating King."

"how can a miracle become so common in our own daily lives that we become apathetic and eventually unthankful?"

*When the Lord miraculously provided the Israelites manna, but only manna*
"The children of Israel started to long for different flavors and spices. They were so blinded by their cravings that they began to glorify the "good old days" of slavery when they could eat all they wanted."


Lord, give me a grateful heart.
