It's ...It's great that you and Heikki fast! It's a great spiritual discipline. I can now fast "better" because I don't have an eating disorder anymore. Eating as fasting is just too crazy. It does not make much sense. ;P <br /><br />This is my best fasting so far because I am now equipped with the Word. Whereas before it was just to refrain from doing things or eating certain foods, but without spiritual nourishment, which basically seems like "dieting" only ; now it is giving up of food in order to be nourished with spiritual food.<br /><br />I have stopped reading news stories, showbiz stories, and TV altogether, plus deactivation from FB. It's so refreshing to the mind and spirit!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing. :)Peacefulwife Philippineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515930951061217503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235622512312451953.post-52294681797914268302014-04-04T20:16:43.141+08:002014-04-04T20:16:43.141+08:00P.S.

We skip two full meals or a full day of no solid food. Sometimes though I ask what I need to fast from (i.e. what is a current idol). Most of the time I believe I am asked to take days off social media. You know there was ONE FULL YEAR I did not read celebrity gossip and thankfully, I still don't now (though not as a fast). :pErica is Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03140547419145815335noreply@blogger.com
