About a year ago, we got a new mattress...a memory foam one. Immediately, it made me hot all night long, but it was bearable because I knew that would come to an end once Bayleigh was born. I wasn't prepared for the ginourmous indentation that would be made by my body in the mattress, however. And now, the impression is causing my back to hurt, and I don't sleep comfortably...ever. I have endured several months of feeling this way until we finally decided to make good on the mattress warranty and have it replaced. Hallelujah! But until the new mattress arrives, I am sleep-deprived. Sleep-deprived and hungry doesn't make for a good mommy, wife, or student. I had a hard time concentrating in class on Monday, and my fuse has definitely been a little short.
Well...fasting isn't easy. In a way, I feel as if I have failed...if it weren't for the near immediate answers I received. I had a really good first day, as I spent a great deal of time praying. I have definitely felt divine prompting over the last couple of days. And I have seen it manifesting in my family as well...in both good and bad ways. I'm convinced it has been more the attitude of prayer than the day of fasting...after all, I didn't get too far past the feeling of hunger! I am committed to prayer until I can devote myself to fasting once again. Praying for tomorrow to be that day!
Thank you friends for your support!
