Today marks the start of our church's annual Prayer and Fasting. I decided to take the water fast and social media fast. Last night I deactivated my Facebook and I'm not really into checking my twitter all the time.
I've always thought it's hard to fast when you're with family. And to a certain degree it's true especially when your family doesn't get why you're doing that. (I'll wrire something about fasting and the reason behind it in another post) Plus, the table never gets foodless. But since my family started attending and enjoying church a few weeks ago, fasting has never been so easy with family. They fully support it, and my sis-in-law also joined me. She's taking one-meal-only fast.
One very sweet gesture of support came from my niece Nikki. She got a glass of water on her own, for me to drink and when she saw that the glass was already empty, she took another trip to the kitchen to fetch me another glass. The sweetest thing!
