Well, for anyone who’s interested… I did it. I made it 40 days. That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it has left me feeling more accomplished than I ever have in my life. I learned a lot about what God has been doing in me in the last season, and I’m so thankful for His grace to help me endure.

I haven’t posted in forever because there wasn’t much to say. It was just, HARD. To anyone who is contemplating fasting for 40 days, I recommend it, but only if you know you are called to do it. Otherwise, you’ll just wind up disappointing yourself. But I can say, that every moment of it was worth it. It was worth it to truly learn that through Christ, I can do all things. Every temptation, every struggle was completely worthwhile to know that i was obedient to God, and He is pleased with me. Every time I smelled food and wanted so desperately just to taste it was all worthwhile to taste it in the end and know that I conquered my flesh. I won!

 

Spirit 1. Flesh 0. I win!
