Day #19 of fasting. Scale was UP by 1/2 pound today. Since Monday, I've gained 1/2) pound, lost one pound, stayed the same, and now gained another 1/2 pound! Talk about a roller coaster ride! Normally, I would be fed up with the whole thing and would have discontinued fasting because of discouragement. Now (miracle), I'm at peace because I know God is in control. I'm doing everything III can do on my end to accomplish my goal, but ultimately it is up to HIM whether or not I make it by 6/27.
Had a very productive day yesterday. In addition to the "normal" things I do every day (like washing dishes, etc.) I did some PROGRESS things (things that will never need doing again, or I won't have to do them for six months or more).
My biggies were to organize the shelving in the kitchen (a huge storage thing that is about 2' deep, 6' wide and goes high enough that I have to stand on my tiptoes to reach the front of the top shelf - I had to push things to the back using a very long-handled now scraper).
For my second big job, I had to get down on my butt (NOT an easy thing for me to do!) and make a drainage ditch more safe. We have about a 1' wide gully that we dug out for about 30' to divert rain water away from the house so that the basement doesn't flood. I had to pull all the weeds from the sides, and then scoop all of the leaves into trash bags. I was only able to do a 6' long swath, and I filled a whole trash bag with the leaves. I would have done more yesterday, but the ditch was no longer shaded by the huge maple tree.
VERY busy day today. I have a haircut at 12:00, and need to get it and get back home by 12:45 to report on a Bible Study I'm doing with a friend from the book "Women of the Bible" by Max Lucado. I have to be off that call by 1:15 because the kids will be here at 1:30 for the pool. I'm going to try to have them over at least twice a week to make the pool worth all the money put into chemicals, and to take advantage of all my hard work in preparing it for use.
Most of my Blue Lake Green Beans have runners on them. They're supposed to take 55-60 days until harvest and I planted them on April 7th, so we should get our first pickin's the first or second week of June. I'll probably still be fasting by then, but I can have all I want after the fast ends. "Delay, Don't Deny"
Woke up at midnight (after only sleeping 6 hours) and couldn't go back to sleep. So, I went ahead and got up three hours ago. MIGHT go back and sleep a couple of more hours of sleep, but not yet. Want to finish looking at FS Notifications first.
