Psalm 119:102: I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
I'm so grateful for this fast.
When I started it 14 days ago on July 18, I asked the Lord to help me specifically with focus and clarity. I have a lot going on with juggling working full time, school, and an internship. I also host a spouse loss support group and host a podcast, "Just a Widow Talk: Voices of Spouse & Partner Loss."
I have always loved writing, but I've gotten away from it. In fact, I've gotten away from several things, opting instead to use my free time to mindlessly watch TV and snack.
I chose to fill myself with food (mostly carbs and sweets) rather than working on things to further my purpose. And when I did try to do those things, I was physically full, or sapped of energy, lethargic from the toxicity of sugar swirling through my veins.
Now, I choose to make conscious, good healthier choices for my body: Better nutrition. Movement. Water. Sleep. Prayer.
And I honestly, truly feel good. The daily readings are building discipline for me to get in His word. His word gives me life (John 6:63).
How sweet is our Lord? Try Him and see for yourself.
O Taste and see that the Lord is good! Psalm 34:8
Storm clouds may rise, strong winds may blow.
I'll tell the world wherever I may go.
That I've found a Savior, and He's sweet I know.
