He wrote that he's grumpy today too. See, it's a common "side effect" of the fasted, even those on leadership at IHOP! (: You know what's helped me be reminded of why I'm doing this, is going to www.fastandpray.com. They've put up new articles and it's been an encouraging reminder that there are thousands of other people fasting alongside me. I just read Randy’s blog. He wrote that he’s grumpy today too.

Ruth: I literally embody the 'getting grumpy because I'm grumpy'. Or being sad that something dumb is making me sad. Or struggling with the fact that I am struggling with something. Isn't that funny? Lauren: I hear ya. I did read his assigned reading for the first day and it was encouraging. Come to think of it, I read yesterday's real late last night. It does keep things in perspective. Winnie: When we finally see our true selves, we cannot be complacent anymore, you know? Not if we want to be like Jesus. Wow. <i>37 days to go.</i> When you put it like that, it's a real shocker! It made me laugh. Y’all have no idea how much it helps to know that I am not the only one.

It's humbling to know that that crankiness is within us and we simply have masked it with the lesser things. 37 days to go! Sounds like you're doing great so far! yeah, I’m totally easily cranky when fasting (the pounding headache from the caffine withdraws doesn’t help either!).

This really isn't forever when I start thinking of feasting in heaven forever. It will be worth it then! I've already found that my written goals help a lot. Also I'm following along on Randy Bohlender's reading schedule for the 40 days, that's really good!
