Fasting=Hunger

OK, i admit it.. i am v v v HUNGRY.. but i can't & won't eat.. i promised myself, promised God that i will get thru this & i must perservere! been keeping myself up by drinking lots, water, milk, juice.. its not a TOTAL fast i know.. but if i dun sustain myself on those 3 liquids i dun tink i can last.. Mich's doing the fast also.. she almost fainted today so she ate bread & drank milk after tt.. shucks.. i reckon she pushed herself alot cuz she dint take anything but water since 8pm last nite.. over 20hrs w/o glucose in her body..

but i drank juice just now & had horrible tummy cramps & felt like throwing up after tt.. i tink there's too much acid in my tum tum.. shall stick to milk from now on probably.. its oni another 16+hrs to go.. i can do this! it will be such a reward for myself to have gone thru this & sustained my promises!

its not the first time i've fasted, but it is the first that i've done a No food fast for so many hrs.. past times when i've done it was just like a 9-5pm kinda fast.. it just makes me think more abt how pple who really have NO edible FOOD or DRINK at all.. how hard it is to survive.. the body's mechanisms are slower, the mind is slower, everything just operates at minimal level. your stomach & brain is just calling out to u to fill ur empty body with substance, & its oni by sheer will & God's strength that i can go on.. i wonder how people who don't have God to lean on, like those in the poor countries of Africa, Ethopia etc.. how do they survive? i am immensely thankful that i have Godto carry me through.. & IF i don't manage to break thru.. i know that perhaps in the eyes of the world they will judge me as a failure? but in His eyes, i am still His beautiful child..
