The day isn't over yet, it is only 4 pm but I am at the internet cafe and felt like it was a good time to give an update. The best part is I only have another 3-4 hours before dinner. I'm a bit spoiled because I'm having dinner tonight with Aunt Rose and her food is so wonderful, it will be like a reward for making it through my first day.
The hardest point was definitely from 11-1 pm, I was so hungry and found myself looking forward to lunch only to realize I wouldn't be able to eat it. I think I'll have a new appreciation for beans and rice when this is over :) I know fasting isn't so much about food and I hope at some point I can get my mind off of it but right now, I think about it a lot. It makes me realize how much we take food for granted in America - probably something else I should fast about :)
My time with God today has been good and I am truly looking forward to the next several days.
More updates to come -
